Barry Bowers has assembled 10 instrumental violin pieces with various accompaniment from vibraphone to harpsichord, piano to strings - all performed by Bowers on various synthesizers. The focus here is on Bowers' violin playing - and to that end uses an electrified instrument that can vary in tone to include the deep warm lines of a viola to the bright and articulate violin. The titles of the tunes indicate an inspiration from his faith in Jesus Christ. Track 2, "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus", is a slow paced and melodic journey which includes bell-like percussive chording and the timbre of an english horn. Bowers includes more contemporary pieces, but also gives respect to both classical masters, Bach and Pachelbel. Track 3 is "Jesu, Joy of Mans' Desiring" and the long mp3 track here, track 7's "Pachelbel Canon". The latter begins with purposeful chording that makes room for Bowers' violin on the top chord line - the melody - and he accents his playing with moderate reverb during his inspired performance. Track 4, "You Are My Hiding Place", is supported by harpsichord and arpeggiating piano lines. Our favorite track is Bowers' rendition of the classic melody in Greensleeves - here his melody approach fits well with the pace and breadth of the composition. The CD is a testament to Bowers' faith and a fine representation of what he's accomplished thus far in his music career. We look forward to more.
