“Simply Worship 1: Shout to the Lord” presents instrumental praise classics featuring the warm, expressive tones of saxophone performed by C. Haverman. This collection transforms beloved contemporary worship songs into gentle instrumental arrangements that create a peaceful environment for personal devotion, reflection, and worship without words.
ABOUT THE SIMPLY WORSHIP SERIES: Simply Worship is a gentle instrumental series designed to create a unique environment through simple, yet heartfelt worship. The series focuses on stripping away production complexity to allow the beauty of familiar melodies to speak for themselves. By presenting worship songs instrumentally, the series invites listeners into contemplative worship experiences where they can focus on God without the potential distraction of lyrics or vocals.
FEATURING SAXOPHONE: The saxophone brings warmth, expressiveness, and emotional depth to these praise classics. C. Haverman’s performance style emphasizes the melodic beauty of each song, using the saxophone’s unique tonal qualities to convey the heart of worship. The instrument’s versatility allows for both powerful moments and tender intimacy, making it ideal for instrumental worship.
ALBUM PHILOSOPHY: The back cover shares meaningful reflection: “Sometimes you wonder when you will have the chance to stop, to recharge your batteries and remember when… when you first came to know the Lord, when God’s love was so fresh and all-consuming that nothing else mattered. God hasn’t gone away, but sometimes the cares and concerns of life cloud out what God has been up to, has left us, has desires that we seek Him and walk closer to Him everyday.”
This philosophy recognizes the need for quiet spaces in busy lives where believers can reconnect with their first love and experience God’s presence without the noise and complexity that often characterizes modern life.
