O [+]The husband-and-wife team of Ken and Elizabeth Farnum are very pleased to finally release this CD, Sail The Soul. These beautiful inspirational and reflective songs represent some of the most revered and requested hymns in the Christian repertoire. Opening with a fanfare medley of popular "Alleluia"s ("Alleluia! A Fanfare Medley"), which serves as a prelude to the birth of Christ ("Creator of the Stars of Night", Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria", "Mary, Did You Know?"), the CD contains songs of Love and Life ("The Wedding Song", "Loving and Forgiving") and songs of Faith and Hope through The Holy Spirit in the face of trouble, doubt and despair ("Eye Has Not Seen", "Danos Tu Luz", "The Clouds Veil", "Veni Creator Spiritus/Veni Sancte Spiritus"). Finally, there are songs of Blessing, Renewal, Triumph and Resurrection, and songs of the Holy Eucharist ("In the Breaking of the Bread", "We Will Rise Again", "We Are The Reason", "Halelujah! Pelo tsa rona"), closing with the Celtic-flavored title track, "Sail The Soul". This nauticalthemed title serves as a perfect expression of Elizabeth and Ken's love of nature, water, and their beloved City Island community (Bronx, N.Y.), which they have happily called "home" since 1988.
KEN FARNUM began his first church job during his college years. Taught on the piano by both mother and grandmother, he was initiated on the organ by his mom, Judith Farnum, in 1976, taking her position at Our Savior's (R.C.) in The Bronx. Ken accompanied dozens of popular local groups and singers during his time at Fordham Preparatory and Fordham University for various events, both secular and sacred. Almost a dozen years later he fortuitously met his wife-to-be, Elizabeth Henreckson, while music directing a Cole Porter revue. Mr. Farnum spends most of his professional time tuning and repairing pianos for hundreds of customers and prestigious institutions. He also plays for over a dozen local churches and schools. Ken loves to compose and arrange; he is founder, arranger and Music Director for GIZMO, an electro-classical synth-keyboard trio based at St. Mary, Star of the Sea on City Island, N.Y., where he is organist and music director. When he finds some extra time, he runs a New York area foosball (tablesoccer) tournament association named NYMet
