Christian Newswire/ -- This March, enjoy a free download of the Movement "Pour It Out" from "Hungry For Heaven" as you discern your career, calling and vocation.
fscc-calledtobe.org This hour-long concept album deals with evil, suffering, the silence of God, the restless spirit, faith, salvation, selfless love, Christian discipleship, and the necessity of right relationships with the hierarchy of creation. It's a unique musical collaboration between David Gómez Sanz (Segovia, Spain), Alberto Ayuso Domingo (Segovia, Spain) and Richard Cecil Schletty (St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A.). Transcending genres, the music ranges from classic orchestral to acoustic folk to celestial to progressive rock. The vocals, span bass to tenor registers. Sometimes folk-like, sometimes operatic, always engaging.
According to David Gomez Sanz "Some are blessed with the Grace of Joy. While others are still looking for a light in the darkness. The incomprehensible reasons of our suffering are washed away in the Cross of Jesus Christ. Our pain is the pain of God. And He cures the scars of ours souls. Hungry For Heaven is about our claim to the sky, our cry to the infinite horizon. In our hunger, can we come to feel His presence."
Franciscan Sister Nancy Kinate, OSF observed that "Pour It Out" "passionately melds word and music and grabbed not only my attention but also my heart. The lyrics of urgent petition and ardent faith are accentuated so powerfully by the pulsating and escalating instrumental accompaniment that I was urged to pray the lyrics not only listen to them. 'Hungry for Heaven' in its entirety is aesthetically and spiritually profound."
