The creation of the WindWorks label represents an expanded relationship between the North Texas Wind Symphony and GIA Publications. GIA's generous support and ongoing dedication to wind music has made it possible for the ensemble to continue producing recordings of the highest quality that are a testament to the perseverance and work ethic of everyone involved. While the first 34 releases in the series, initiated in 1989, remain with the Klavier label, this broadened alliance with GIA affords the opportunity to consolidate all of the current projects under one publishing roof.

The projects have yielded more than 100 albums that showcase the creative energy of thousands of world-renowned composers and gifted musicians.

The acoustic quality of the recording is state of the art... All of the works are superbly realized and worthy of exploration... these discs represent the standards to which all must aspire."

Liam Lawton's High Is the Heaven combines Celtic themes, strong melodies, and poignant texts to create this unique and accessible collection of music for liturgical celebrations and beyond. Like so many of Liam's songs, each exquisite piece has a back story. For example, the psalm "The Lord Hears the Cry of the Poor" was written for the Papal Mass of Pope Francis in Ireland. "High Is the Heaven" was written to celebrate the 800th anniversary of St. Columba-one of the ancient Celtic monks who brought Christianity from Ireland to Europe, and the Christmas piece "There's a Star" was written for Liam's own parish choir in Ireland. This shorter collection contains a wide variety of songs for worship. In true Lawton fashion, he injects the beauty and spirituality of his homeland into every song.
