I refer to Traditional Hymns as the songs that are mostly in public domain (meaning they were written before 1921), written by such people as Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts, Fanny Crosby, etc. More modern hymns such as ones written by Bill and Gloria Gaither are also included in this category. Hymns are usually poetic in form that typically take on a verse/chorus pattern.
Most of our traditional hymns tend to take on a “Southern Gospel” sound because of our 4-part harmony but we do feature some other styles as well. Our version of “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” is sung in a Reggea style. “Jesus Did It For Me” is sung in a 50’s style. “Tis So Sweet” and “In The Garden” are sung in a folk style with acoustic guitar and flute. “No Not One” is more of a contemporary rock sound.
