Heavenly Peace

by Darlene Koldenhoven

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Heavenly Peace is the premier Holiday release by GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal artist, Darlene Koldenhoven, known worldwide as the featured blond soprano in Yanni Live at the Acropolis PBS-TV Special. Throughout this amazing collection of 10 very special songs, the lyrics touch upon the spiritual and emotional sides of all the characters involved in the Christmas Story, while the music and production reflect elements of world music, classical, and relaxing ambient woven together by her soaring, angelic, 5 octave vocal range. Seasonal, non-seasonal, and original pieces are included. Together they create a serene and joyful celebration of the birth of Christ, suitable for listening throughout the year. When she wasn't playing, programming, & arranging herself, as producer, Darlene called upon the talented skills of such artists as violinist Karen Briggs (also featured on the Yanni video), programmer Brad Cole (keyboardist with Phil Collins), film composer Ira Newborn (Ferris Bueller, Naked Gun, Manhattan Transfer) who played tabla and other middle-eastern instruments, oboist Earle Dumler (Frank Zappa & many hundreds of Los Angeles studio recordings), flutist Brice Martin, and with Doug Lenier (Smokey Robinson, Nancy Wilson) engineering. Vocalists on Angels We Have Heard on High in order from high to low: Darlene Koldenhoven, Machan Taylor, Yvonne Williams, Melissa Mackey, Clydene Jackson, Carmen Twillie. The CD comes in a jewel case with lyric/credits booklet.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Heavenly Peace via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Gabriel to Mary, Weaping Said Mary to her unborn child Oh Jesu, blessed son I am alone, I am afraid Not mine, God's will be done And then she heard the angel singing (Ah) Tidings of great joy "Tonight, I bring you news about Your blessed baby boy Your blessed baby boy (Your blessed baby boy) Oh, Oh For He shall be the king of men Your blessings to increase For unto us, above all else He'll be the King of Peace (be the King of Peace) He'll be the King of Peace (be the King of Peace) He'll be the King of Peace (Peace) Oh, Oh So with this message that I bring Let peace begin tonight For God is watching over you As stars watch o're the night And when you look into the sky (Ah) And see the star he made Then all will know the King has come And be no more afraid (be no more afraid) And be no more afraid (be no more afraid) Be no more afraid (The king has come) Be no more afraid (The king has come) Be no more afraid Ah, Ah Gabriel to Mary, Weaping Music by Darlene Koldenhoven, Lyric by K.A.

Joseph's Question Joseph from the house of David Was betrothed to Mary, fair Fairest girl in all Judea Not another could compare Then he saw her ripe with child Before they shared the marriage bed Lord, what should I do, he asked And Gabriel appeared and said Do not be concerned Give your fears a rest Mary has been chosen Mary has been blessed Take her as your bride There's no need for shame When the babe is born Blessed be His name Joseph shook and Joseph trembled Still he did as he was told Faith made him a man of action Faith and action made him bold Music by Darlene Koldenhoven, Lyric by K.A. Parker Joseph took his family And left to face the great unknown Knowing God would keep his promise Knowing they were not alone Do not be concerned Give your fears a rest Mary has been chosen Mary has been blessed Go to Bethlehem Do as God commands When the babe is born You will understand Came her time and they were weary No where there to lay her head Lord, what should I do, asked Joseph Gabriel appeared and said Do not be concerned Give your fears a rest Mary has been chosen Mary has been blessed Here's a bed of straw Let your worries cease When the babe is born The world will know His peace ©1999 DarSongs Music (ASCAP), ParkerHouse Music (BMI) All rights reserved.

The Star to the Stable Music by Darlene Koldenhoven, Lyric by K.A. Parker The star, the star So bright it burned The heart of man So hard it yearned For something true and good and pure A light to show the way And then the babe was born, was born That Holy Christmas Day The star, the star They saw the star They followed, followed, followed far And came to humble Bethlehem And then the stable small This cannot be the blessed king It can't be Him at all Where is the palace Where is the temple Where are the servants Where is the gold Where are the high priests Where are the taxmen This child cannot be who heaven foretold Then angels sang As twilight fell Glory to Emmanuel With Mary, Joseph standing near They made a joyful sound The wise men knelt there in the straw With shepherds all around Then once again the star they saw Praise God, the King is found © 1999 DarSongs Music (ASCAP), Parkerhouse Music (BMI) All rights reserved.
