Honey from the Rock: Entrance and Communion Antiphons for the Church Year, includes 20 antiphons selected from the Missal that allow, by virtue of their texts, for broader application. They are printed in 4 volumes and recorded on 2 discs.

The majority of the texts are taken from the Psalms. The settings vary in style and genre, including traditional and contemporary gospel, classical, praise & worship, reggae, jazz, R&B, and even a bit of funk.

In this brilliant audiophile recording from James Jordan and the Voices of Anam Cara, composed of singers from his Westminster ensemble, The Westminster Williamson Voices, it is truly the angels that are in the details. Jordan selects his favorite works by the great masters of choral composition...and then pairs each work to its ideal acoustical environment. The choir is joined on the recording by organ virtuoso Ken Cowan and Eric Schweingruber, trumpet. The seven-second reverb in the Immaculate Conception Church in Trenton, New Jersey, to the pristine resonances of The Lawrenceville School Chapel, The Girard College Chapel, the Philadelphia Cathedral, and St. Clement’s Church in Philadelphia provide the stunning acoustics for this musical and sonic adventure. This recording includes two works by Moses Hogan, “Wade in the Water” and “Ole Time Religion,” a tribute to Hogan’s musical genius. The premiere recording of “My Flight for Heaven” by Blake Henson is destined to be a classic. This recording also includes one of the rare recordings of the choral masterpiece by Sandstrom, a mystical setting of "Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming." Works by Morten Lauridsen (Sure on This Shining Night), James Whitbourn (Hodie), James MacMillan (In Splendoribus Sanctorum), Felix Mendelssohn (Psalm 100), and other master composers make this an essential recording for any lover of the choral arts.

In Yeats's poem, the Irish island of Innisfree was a place to contemplate the meaning of one's life. Music, if it is to have any value, must make our living better. It must have the power to strengthen us when we falter and point the way when life confuses or confounds us. Each piece on this recording possesses this magical quality to teach us how to live: "Amazing Grace," which was born out of human despair, shows us that faith, hope, and belief can help even the most darkened spirit. Morten Lauridsen's "O magnum mysterium" shows us in sound the awe and wonder of things we cannot explain but can experience. The stunningly simple setting by Benjamin Britten of "A New Year Carol" possesses a sheer beauty that causes the listener to see a much simpler world.

You can’t help but become involved in this music. This disciple of Christ sings his faith from the heart, and the songs on this recording go beyond mere hearing, beyond mere singing, beyond mere understanding to a place that resonates deep within the soul. Melley is a contemporary mouthpiece for God, and Humbled is his testament.

The human condition causes each of us to ponder questions that have no answers. What is the purpose of our living? How do connections with others happen? What is the meaning of sacredness and spiritual light? And: How do we continually affirm ourselves as we walk our individual journeys? This album explores all of those questions through words and music-presenting a broad canvas of questions with really no answers, except those answers that are defined by our own lives. On this release, life's unanswered questions are explored in Thomas LaVoy's 'Songs of the Questioner.' How we abide with ourselves and others through love is one of life's most poignant questions, and is explored in Dan Forrest's 'Abide' through the words of Jake Adam York. LaVoy's 'White Stones' paints a musical scene of a child's night terrors, and of his parents' struggle to reassure him and to teach the child spiritual comfort while dealing with the reality of life. Two pieces by Peter Relph allow the listener to journey into the world of spiritual "enlightenment" by creating a luminous and comforting spiritual presence. Spiritual questioning throughout life asks us to seek answers to some of life's most human questions: 'The Dream I Knew' provides answers to the basic life question of the value of others in our life's journey; LaVoy's 'Salvator mundi' reminds us all of the spiritual stillness that abiding and questioning provides. Paul Mealor's setting of C. S. Lewis reminds us of the pivotal role that love plays in our life journey. The Same Stream was born out of a close-knit family of singers who are dedicated to a commonly shared musical experience. Drawn from a Grammy-nominated choir, they are bonded by a passion to build on the experiences shared in their Westminster journey.
