notes

“A Light in the Darkness” features unique acoustic guitar and vocal arrangements of traditional Christmas and Advent music, as well as new songs inspired by Jesus’ birth. Singer Brooke Orozco and guitarist Brendan Knorp have been writing and performing together since meeting in 1994 while studying music together at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, MI. Brendan’s interest in a variety of alternate guitar-tunings and Brooke’s natural sense of vocal harmony blend to create rich, warm interpretations of these familiar carols and original compositions. The CD was recorded and mastered by Detroit percussionist Steve Adams, who added his musical touch to a few of the arrangements.

    Brooke and Brendan have captured the essence of Advent - the yearning, hoping, and waiting for the coming of the King. It's hard to believe that all the layers of the music come from only two people. This CD is a rich, warm, fresh and yet classic approach to beloved texts. The music is artfully woven together to create a timeless masterpiece.

    New artists on their first album, what will they do from this beginning. I appreciated the consistent essense of the album, worshipful, familiar, singable enticing me to join in, wanted to listen again, the vocal range is very easy to sing. Thank you for this addition to the music celebrating Christ's birth.

    With the holidays becoming such a production these days, it's nice to hear a collection of songs like this pare away the fluff and focus keenly on the bare essentials. Using carefully orchestrated guitar leads assisted by minimal percussion elements, the backing tracks lay a solid foundation for the equally precise female vocals that quaintly share the spotlight. The resulting rich, comfortable sound speaks to the season, making its way through easily recognizable classics, lesser known traditional ballads, and a handful of original compositions. It's these self-penned collaborations that are perhaps the most impressive songs on the record, as they reflect a depth and courage in the artists that is not only a result of ambition, but also a sincerity and belief in the subject matter of these beautifully crafted Christmas songs.
