“Together In Worship” stands as a remarkable gospel masterpiece, an exquisite album brought to life by the harmonious voices of Voices of Unity, a choir meticulously curated and led by none other than the celebrated luminary of music, Deitrick Haddon.
This opus of divine melody and lyrical poignancy emerged into the world in the vibrant year of 2007, etching its presence with an indelible mark. Embellished with a constellation of 14 celestial tracks, each a radiant gem of praise and worship, this album serves as a spiritual beacon, drawing listeners into a sacred realm.
Diving into the ethereal auditory tapestry of this opulent creation, one discovers the enchanting interplay of melody and emotion. The enchantment intensifies as the album unfolds, revealing guest appearances by luminaries such as the resplendent Shirley Murdock, the soulful Darwin Hobbs, the resonant Jason Champion, the transcendent Javen, and other illustrious artists.
The eclectic mix of talents casts a diverse and dazzling array of hues upon the album, reflecting Voices of Unity’s kaleidoscopic vocal range and versatility.
The heartbeat of “Together In Worship” pulsates with a rhythm that traverses the spectrum of spiritual expression. It navigates from the spirited and invigorating rhythms of “I Got A Praise (Holy One)” and “Watch Me Praise Him” to the mellifluous embrace of the soul-stirring ballads like “You Are God” and “It All Belongs to You”. A symphonic odyssey indeed, this album mirrors life’s emotional tapestry through its melodies, lyrics, and arrangements.
Noteworthy is the inclusion of poignant sermons and interludes that enrich the album’s narrative depth. The resonant voice of Paula White resonates powerfully in “Send A Revival”, while the album finds a moment of levity through Joyce Haddon’s endearing interlude, “Praise Break/Momma’s Got A Word”. These elements transport the listener from a mere auditory journey into a more immersive experience, akin to a congregation’s engagement in the embrace of divinity.
Captured live, the album echoes the electrifying atmosphere of a spirited black church service. The synergy between the choir and the audience, palpable even through the recording, creates an ambiance that bridges the realms of the earthly and the divine.
Each note, each applause, each heartfelt exclamation, is preserved within the album’s sonic fabric, immortalizing the fervor of worship and unity.
“Together In Worship” stands as a living testament to the choir’s divine gifts and their unwavering devotion to the Almighty. Haddon’s visionary leadership is the guiding star behind this magnum opus, orchestrating a harmonious convergence of talents, spirituality, and creative energy. It’s not merely an album; it’s a spiritual journey, an encapsulation of the timeless endeavor to connect with the divine through the medium of music. In the grand tapestry of gospel history, “Together In Worship” is a resplendent thread, woven with love, faith, and artistic brilliance.
