Come to the Feast, Vol.II

14 songs by a variety of well-known composers
Master arranger Tom Kendzia has released his ninth instrumental collection. This second volume in his Come to the Feast series includes 14 songs by a variety of well-known liturgical composers. With the release of this new CD, Tom has now arranged and recorded instrumental versions of more than 100 popular liturgical hymns and songs.

Four of Tom's most popular songs
From his many beloved recordings, four were specially selected for this collection and given new life. From Clothed in Love, Tom chose "Stand by Me" and Unity Award Song of the Year (2003) "The Eyes and Hands of Christ." Off of Lead Us to the Water are "Create in Me" and "Out of Darkness."

Features four songs recorded in Ireland
A lovely instrumental version of "O Waly Waly," the traditional English melody, is among the four songs Tom recorded in Ireland. Other well-known tracks recorded in Ireland are Bernadette Farrell's "God Beyond All Names," Carey Landry's "Isaiah 49," and Tom's own "Create in Me."

Variety of song styles and instrumentation
The music on Come to the Feast, Vol. 2 ranges from simple piano and guitar to pop to traditional Celtic instruments. Tom played the majority of the instruments himself, including his 100-year-old Mason & Hamlin grand piano on a few of the songs.

Excellent background for prayer and meditation
Come to the Feast, Vol. 2 is gentle and soothing, with each of the songs beautifully performed on piano, guitar, woodwinds and strings. Play them in your car, at home, at work or as a background for prayer and meditation.

A fine addition to his previous instrumental collections
Tom's previous multi-volume instrumental series include Come to the Water and Light from Light. The skillful arrangements on Come to the Feast, Vol. 2 show that Tom is truly an artist in full command of his craft. This new disc is a strong addition to his already impressive body of work.
