Sorry, this CD is currently out of stock but should be available again by the end of March or early April.

For the Beauty of the Earth contains instrumental hymns and melodies reflecting back to early Church history. The music has been arranged and performed in a traditional "early American" acoustic style, appropriate for these hymns that have their roots in the 1800's and earlier.

In addition to the traditional hymns on this recording, there are a few tracks included with an early Church History theme. These include "Winter Quarters," "A Thousand Miles," "Sunday Morning in the Valley," and "Nauvoo."
