I know there are already tons of different versions of this classic hymn (and most of them are better than mine) but I've been singing this a lot lately, so I felt like I had to record it. As it turns out, even though I didn't actually compose the music/lyrics, this was truly one of my favorite projects ever. 

Thanks for listening and sharing honest opinions. God bless.

Sehr schöner Song, gefällt mir sehr gut.

Bei ca. 50 Sekunden hast du einen kleinen Aussetzer in der Musik.

This is so good and wow, what an addition to the rest of the community's music archives. I am listening at this moment to the part where you echo your melody and I like that part a lot.  It's not real obvious to the casual listener but one of the little things you do to add to the quality of your music. 

Really good dynamics and crescendo into the chorus of the song. I must have a dozen arrangements of this song (piano versions) and the chords are pretty much the same but some use some altered chords that add a little spice to the mix. Or maybe you could move through a couple of key changes by moving it up by half steps;  Just a thought (or two);

the initial part I really liked music with clear fusion of ethnic music, the initial phase is very delicate and the atmosphere is delicate
Rock and very pleasant to listen with great interest
I would say very good, pop rock ballad with fusion

Hi Travis:

For over two years now, I've enjoyed many of your compositions/arrangements.  This particular song was performed by a choir at a recent funeral of a departed family member.  His death is 'still' fresh in my mind.  I am definitely not a traditional "religious" person, but being raised in my mother's church as a youth, I have always loved the pure (emotional) "musicality" of this timeless song.  You do this piece a wonderful honor. 

End of story...

A soulful, yet dynamic song, just right around on Sunday evening to relax and breathe again. Good job!

Many greetings,
NotQuiet :-)

Beautiful song - ciao da sandro

Last changed by Sandro_Glavina_Channel on 11/16/2015, 7:37 PM, changed a total of 1 times.

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

The enjoyment you derived from making this really comes across in the emotional performance Spritebat.  Great version.

Well done bro,

This is really sweet, you have matched the track really well with your vocals.

I haven't heard the original of this but you have made a good enough cover that I could easily have imagined what It would have sounded like originally.

And a cover is exactly that, the original in your sound. And the entire track is very pretty.

I had a moment at the end of of this song, where I couldn't help but have to sit back and think.

That was very welcome, thank you for making my day!
