Description
Hallowed Ground is an album by the British folk group Cloud, released on Kingsway Music in 1982. The album was recorded January 1982 by Ray Prickett (with “Mobile One”) at Holy Trinity Church in Brompton, London; with Chuck Butler and John Harmar-Smith producing. All songs composed by Philip Lawson Johnston except track A3 by Christopher Logie and B3 by Philip Lawson Johnston and Colin Rank.
Cloud directed by Chuck Butler. String arrangements by Richard Williamson. Directed by John Harmar-Smith. Strings provided by “a group of professional and non-professional musicians from the Holy Trinity orchestra and Musicians Christian Fellowship“.
The ‘Worship Classics’ are a timely reissue of pioneering albums; Volume 3 is from the early years of renewal (1982), when Cloud’s worship songs became the bedrock of a new style of worship. Holy Trinity, Brompton, London (HTB for short) has been behind many moves of the Holy Spirit, and the 12 years when Cloud led the evening service broke new ground. It is rather thrilling to compare this album with David’s psalm of thanksgiving (1 Chron 16) after he had brought the Ark to the City of David and appointed singers and musicians to minister before the Lord (with hundreds of musicians and hundreds of thousands in the congregation their worship must have been LOUD). That marked a new beginning for God’s people and birthed a renaissance of music, poetry and prophetic writings similar in impact to our generation’s “new songs”. The all-time favourite «We Will Magnify» could have been written by King David himself. [Mary Brows, Cross Rhythms, December 1997]
