Lilies and Simple Gifts includes the much-loved sacred song, "Simple Gifts," in a fresh, playful arrangement, as well as the famous soprano solo from Haydn's Creation and many sacred old-time favorites, such as "The Holy City" and "Consider the Lilies."

Soprano Julia Schechtman Pabst and the conductor Saul Schechtman (piano) are faithful to the style and feeling of each song, avoiding ostentation or superfluous ornamentation, closely attuned to each other and each piece's nuances.

Eye on the Sparrow is another finely balanced mixture of style, period, mood. It includes a new arrangement of the song, "His Eye is on the Sparrow," which blends the clear voice with the accompaniment's bird-motif and a hint of gospel. The tenderness of Gounod's "The King of Love" and "Ye Shall Not Sorrow Anymore" are offset by the grandeur of César Franck's "Bless the Lord O My Soul." Malotte's hushed and exultant "Lord's Prayer" serves as the CD's concluding Amen.
