Want a great way to support world missions?
And enjoy the best in Salvation Army music?
Announcing…
An international project more than two years in the making, this historic 4-CD set brings together 15 internationally acclaimed Salvation Army music sections, with all proceeds going toward Army projects in developing countries around the world.
Featured groups include the International Staff Band, Canadian Staff Band, New York Staff Band, Chicago Staff Band, Amsterdam Staff Band and Melbourne Staff Band, as well as the International Staff Songsters, Amsterdam Staff Songsters, Sydney Staff Songsters and Melbourne Staff Songsters. Also heard are the U.S.A. Southern and Western Territorial Bands, the National Capital Band from Washington, D.C., the Norwegian Territorial Band, and the U.S.A. Eastern Territorial Songsters.
Retired Canadian Staff Bandmaster Brian Burditt, now director of world missions for The Salvation Army Canada and Bermuda Territory, first conceived of this project several years ago. “The idea,” he says, “was to use the talents of some of the best musicians in The Salvation Army to raise funds to provide practical assistance to those in need around the world.” Brian has been overwhelcmed at the response of the musicians who have all wholeheartedly come on board for this very special project. “From a musical standpoint,” he continues, “this recording is a first-class historical record of Salvation Army music making. From a practical perspective, the funds raised will support the humanitarian work of The Salvation Army in a very special way.”
