Nowadays, perhaps more than at any other time in our history, we are exposed to widely contrasting expressions of music. Almost daily a new style is born, or another mechanical device is pioneered in a frantic effort to attract our musical attention. Inevitably, we reach a stage where we yearn for the comfort and reassurance and peace of the old music and the old familiar standards. Lorin Whitney at the Robert Morton Pipe Organ provides exactly such an interlude.
Mr. Whitney's professional career spans a quarter of a century. The worth of this experience is readily evident to the listener. There is a warmth and tenderness, vision and understanding, joy and quiet happiness in his performances. Lorin's grasp of musical composition, coupled with his peerless mastery of the organ as a medium to demonstrate lyrical knowledge, is wondrous to hear.
The pipe organ has no rival among musical instruments in its capacity to portray moods and evoke visions of God and our relationship with Him. Its stately majesty, its restrained power and strength, its sometimes gay lilt and crystal tones, are only a few of its versatile qualities. Surely it was heaven-sent inspiration which allowed man to devise so rare a contrivance.
Songs That Touch The Heart encompasses a variety of religious themes and approaches to God. There are no strangers among these numbers. They remind us to praise Him, to depend upon Him as the healer of all our ills, to seek and find Him among our fellow men, to share our bounties with His creatures. When our burdens seem heaven and our future bleak, we have but to pause, listen, enjoy, be refreshed, encouraged, and strengthened by that rarest of God's blessings - music. In this case, the music is magnificently furnished by Lorin Whitney at the pipe organ.
