Since most churches now have services of "blended" worship, that usually means the addition of an electronic keyboard to the more traditional keyboard instruments. However, because many church pianists and organists are not familiar with the instrument (and are sometimes intimidated by it) they often end up using it just as another piano. In Acoustic & Electric, these duet arrangements have been created specifically for two different instruments. The synthesizer part enhances the acoustic piano part with sounds of strings, brass, etc. The song titles are a mix of both familiar and newer praise and worship songs you'll enjoy playing in any season.

Although none of our tunes could ever compare to the angels' song that first starry night, the "carols" have become a vital part of our celebration of Christ's birth.
