PRAISES
		Nominated in five Grammy Award categories, this CD contains a collection of traditional and modern hymns interpreted through the classical guitar. $12.95 CD

PRAISES is a follow-up recording to the highly successful Praise Guitar, released in 1986. In this project, Joe Anthony Cadrecha interprets and performs twelve classic Christian hymns using a duo and a trio of Spanish guitars.   The result is a classical harmonic blend of sounds that promote the spiritual nature of the music.   Mr. Cadrecha also has included Hatikva, the National Anthem of Israel, along with an original, “For all Friends, Past and Present.”   This song was written as a tribute to those close to us who have passed away.   Mr. Cadrecha died in July 2003.   He was just fifty years old.   But his talent lives o through the music he recorded.
