Luther Rocks: Something Different

Luther Rocks: Something Different:


In 2004 or 2005 I had the pleasure of playing along with a group led by Valerie Floeter (keyboards) and Patricia Backhaus (Trumpet).  They are a duo group that has delved into the rich hymn history of the church and present them in mini concerts around the country.  Valerie has put a lot of these hymns into more contemporary settings.  I am hoping to present some of them here in the future.

This particular selection appeared in video form here a couple of years ago.  When I saw it I thought it would be fun to do so I bought the music with the intent of adapting it for pre or post service in church (sans electric bass and drums) on trumpet and organ.  It is currently on my list of projects.

I took the liberty of grabbing the audio from the video and put the trumpet part over the top of it.  It was nice to 'perform' with Valerie again.  It reminds me of some of the pop-rock-classical stylings done in the 70's.
