Townend offered a similar account in an interview for WorshipTogether: So the theme of the life, death, resurrection of Christ, and the implications of that for us just began to tumble out, and when we got together later on to fine tune it, we felt we had encapsulated what we wanted to say.
A few weeks later Keith sent some melody ideas, and the first one on the CD was a magnificent, haunting melody that I loved, and immediately started writing down some lyrical ideas on what I felt should be a timeless theme commensurate with the melody. Keith and I met in the autumn of 2000 at a worship event, and we resolved to try to work together on some songs. According to Townend, the process then played out in this fashion: Stuart Townend had already achieved some success with songs like “How deep the Father’s love for us,” “The Lord’s my shepherd,” and “Beautiful Saviour (All my days).” In particular, “How deep the Father’s love for us” inspired Getty to approach Townend. This could affect people’s thinking, praying, and Christian witness, and not only their praise.” He embarked on a project with the British publisher Kingsway to compose such new hymns, and in that process met Stuart Townend. With so many people learning their faith from the songs they sing, it was vital to create a clear understanding of what we believe through worship material. The Irish church musician Keith Getty “longed for hymns with a more complete expression of the Christian faith, which articulated a greater number of issues in deeper ways. The interviewer, Fiona McIlwaine Biggins, explained, “Keith wrote over 50 hymns spanning a year for this latest project and said it was hugely difficult to choose the best 10 to be on the album.”Īnother early account of the project was relayed by Reformed scholar Bert Polman: But if music is crafted and produced well it has the power to touch anyone and I would hope that beyond Church worship these new hymns would also reach out to secular listeners too. . . However, if I had to choose only one hope I would have for this album it would be that it would bring new hymns that will really last to the Church.
My primary aim was to write great hymns for the Church focused on God. And as an Irish composer and with working in Irish music a lot, I suppose all my music is destined to have an Irish feel to it. . . Rock and worship, and rock and Celtic sounds have always combined well, but this mingling of worship and Celtic has a unique warm sound to it that I feel adds to the lyrics. In an interview following the release of that project, he explained some aspects of his original intent and his process:įor this latest album I used a combination of old hymns and portions of Scripture and reworked them to create modern hymns for the modern Church. Getty was preparing an album of new songs, which was eventually released through Kingsway as New Irish Hymns (2001).
