Blessed Assurance

Blessed Assurance is a collection of nine psalm settings and five hymns that candidly embraces the concept of "Americana," music that embodies American history and culture. Timothy R. Smith has taken selected psalms and traditional American song texts like "Blessed Assurance" and "I Sing The Mighty Power Of God" and set them to new melodies. This collection also includes Tim's original composition "Voice Of Christ."

Frances Brockington's prodigious talents as a soprano are well suited to Tim's music. She was featured in Tim's psalmody collection With the Lord, and she is the principal cantor on Blessed Assurance.

This collection is stylistically varied; some songs are reminiscent of old-time, full-choir Gospel, while others have a distinctly rock-and-roll rhythm. Like the American culture that inspired it, Blessed Assurance is strong, independent and diverse, perfect for parish or private listening.
