Plans for a project like "Lamb of God" had been in the works for several years, but fear of not getting it right kept us from really pursuing it until the fall of 2009, when composer Rob Gardner felt strongly that it had to happen. It was decided then that, for this project and this subject matter, we had to raise my standards both artistically and logistically.

That decision led to a collaboration with the world-famous London Symphony Orchestra. If you've seen any of the Star Wars or Harry Potter movies, or heard their soundtracks, then you've heard the London Symphony Orchestra. They're the world's most recorded orchestra and unanimously regarded as one of the best. So, in June we went to London to record with them at the beautiful Air Studios, and to say the very least, that was an incredible experience. They brought life and feeling to this new music like they'd been playing it for years.

Then, a month later, we gathered the Spire Chorus--60 of the finest singers from all over--and recorded them in an acoustically marvelous church in Paradise Valley, AZ. And once again, the incredible spirit and musicianship of these singers took this work to a higher level.

Finally, we brought in 13 magnificent soloists to sing the lead characters. These soloists include Jordan Bluth, Daniel Beck, Michael Sackett, Jenee Prince, Linsey Maxson and Sharon Hopkins--all of whom brought both an intimacy and power to their roles that's rare to find.

The result is this remarkable 2-CD recording.
