That's why; 
"Dan's original PraiseHymns and PraiseCarols studio arrangements have become some of the most popular titles in the entire PraiseCharts catalog."
...we have both, and will be checking the rest of this one out as well.

Grabs you right from the start and brings a freshness to the first words.  Doc [our drummer] will have a blast as usuall.  Also, the horn parts hit in the sweet spots.  Love the layout - v1v2 then the ch. and v3 is alive with anticipation due to the dynamic shift.
Hymn to Song transformation accomplished.
Thanks Dan!
...now listening to "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"... man, this is addictive.<br/><br/>

I love it.  Will there be a whole CD of Patriotic songs available for purchase soon?  I'd like to buy it to play on the 4th of July.  Thank you.<br/><br/>

Just FYI, we are not going to have a physical CD this year, so you&#039;ll have to download the Audio MP3&#039;s from PraiseCharts and then burn your own CD.<br/><br/>

The arrangement is fresh and powerful, but the drummer needs to be tamed down a bunch, very distracting and uncomplimentary, as with most modern CCM. Ron Kenolly would do a great job of this as well. Thanks for all your hard work. Steve<br/><br/>

Itz a hymn I love so much. I listened to it again and again and again. The arrangement in praise worship was super! Whoever listens to it will have his/her sorrow and sadness melt away and return no more. Amen!!!!<br/><br/>

It becomes necessary to boogie to the music rather than stand tall and march. It seems we should continue to work toward freedom, for sure, but not disrespect. i challenge you to keep this in mind with your "patriotic" renditions.<br/><br/>

My focus and intent with this was the &quot;Hallelujah&quot; aspect of this classic text.  Certainly, there is a time for solemn recognition of the sacrifice of our soldiers, but there is also a time for the jubilant celebration of what that sacrifice brought about, amen? Hopefully the joy that we naturally express in that word for (jubilantly) &quot;Praise Yahweh&quot; is reflected in this arrangement.<br/><br/>

So often attempts to update older tunes miss the mark.  This one nailed it.  You've kept the integrity of the lyric, the emotion of the song, while providing a great orchestration and groove.<br/><br/>

Clearly, a old hymn with an edgy beat like this is not going to appeal to everyone.  Just for interest sake, what "age group" are you in?  What is cool about PraiseCharts is that with many of the hymns, we offer many different versions of some of the most popular hymns.  People can find what fits their congregational worship style and get exactly what they need.<br/><br/>

Not for the average praise band.  This arrangement does a good job of adding the effects of  the brass, rock organ and strings to emphasize different the lyrics talking about God's Glory.  The drummers will LOVE it.  Thanks for keeping it in a singable key.  Reminds me of "Truth's" arrangements in the 80's and 90's.<br/><br/>

I'm 62 and one of the old ministers of Worship.  The band wasn't sure on first reading but it has become one of their favorites.  They had to find that groove before they could make it work.  I found this to be exiciting, powerful and it moved me greatly.  GLORY HALLELUJAH!<br/><br/>

It's tremendous!  You can't get more patriotic than to put life back into a tune that poured life into troops at the time it was written.  The author would be so honored to see their piece pliable and able to flex with the changing culture without compromising either the message or integrity of the piece.

The drums are alive!  It makes this retired Sailor very grateful, and so honored that one of my favorite hymns is so honored, and that God is honored in it as well!<br/><br/>
