Michael W. Smith Releases 2nd Instrumental, 23rd Studio Album Nov. 22
Nashville's Michael W. Smith announced today he is preparing to release "Glory," the instrumental follow-up to his 2000 RIAA Gold-selling album, "Freedom." "Glory" marks both Smith's 2nd instrumental project and his 23rd studio release and will be available at retail outlets on Nov. 22.
Recorded with a 65-piece orchestra at London's AIR Studios, "Glory" features a collection of original music including the title song and a symphonic version of "Agnus Dei."
Smith on Glory
Smith says, "I've said many times that 'Freedom' is my favorite record, so I'm very excited to be releasing my second instrumental record. I think the people that enjoyed 'Freedom' will love this one; and I actually think some of the unique musical twists this project is taking will open it up to a whole new audience as well."
He states he is in his element when he works with a orchestra, comparing it to a quote by Eric Liddell in the film "Chariots of Fire" -- "when I run I feel His pleasure." Smith comments, "This statement encompasses my experience when I work on instrumental music. When I'm able to see sweeping melodies and epic, cinematic songs come to fruition, it's like I am offering a prayer to our Father in Heaven." Read more at: Michael W.
