Pageant Music releases 12 Gates!

We have finally released the album ’12 Gates’, and are giving it away for FREE this Easter season! Yup – that’s no April Fool’s joke either.

You can find it at: http://www.noisetrade.com/pageantmusic – you can donate to help cover our production costs, but all we ask is that you share it with as many people as you think will enjoy it.

Our vision is that these songs would be an encouragement to believers everywhere and express the beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a new and different way. Birthed from the artistry and collaborative nature of the believing community in Lancaster, PA, specifically Wheatland Church, we hope that these songs will edify and enrich the worship of churches all over the US and around the world.

The driving force behind this collection and collaboration is Matthew Monticchio and myself, Hiram Ring, but with an incredible amount of interaction from our community both within and without Wheatland Church. Other artists who sing on this album are Joy Ike, Brooke Annibale, Christy Danner, Cliff and Jen Lewis, Dan Kirby, Anna Demme, Keith Winder and Alisha Ring. Matthew Clark created the image for the album cover, and Ned Bustard designed the text. Many more were involved in producing what you hear.

More Recording

Hiram and Matthew Monticchio recently recorded with their friend Dan Kirby for the upcoming album of sacred music tentatively titled ’12 Gates’. This will be the first album of twelve songs intended for churches and individuals to use as a liturgical element throughout the year, based on the ancient church calendar. This album will be available digitally in early 2010. The second album of twelve songs will be titled ’12 Pearls’, and will be released with the first as a physical album of 24 tracks toward the end of 2010. We will keep you posted on developments here – for now you can take a look at the video below for a sneak preview of some of the songs.
