GOSPEL: Contemporary Gospel



Details:
The songs on Freedom are part of a new collection (with some old songs from an out of print CD "Pure Mercy") that were written in 2005 and published in 2006. The songs are a little more guitar-oriented and come from some fresh ideas of the freedom of worship.

The Visitors are anyone who have come to put their music and talent onto Missy's CDs. This CD has several different musicians on it - they are credited on her website under the Freedom Lyrics tab.

Missy Thomas-Schmit is a classically trained pianist
and 'cellist who began her career in music at the age
of 5. Studying in Boston, she was encouraged by her
parents to practice and to develop the gift she had
into something wonderful. At age 14, she and her
family moved to Claremont,California, where she
continued her studies under the supervision of Gary
Davenport. After a brief break from music to study
chemistry, get married and start a family, she returned
to the piano and continued her musical studies at
Scripps College and Pitzer College in Claremont,
California. She has her degree of Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from Shorter College in Rome, Georgia.

Missy loves sound, and loves recording and composing
music. She will usually perform each instrument
herself in the studio while recording, but welcomes
other musicians to come and add their ideas and
musicianship to her projects. The 'cello is featured
frequently in her music, and it adds a unique and powerful
edge to the intensity. In the worship setting, Missy has
many years' experience in assisting leading worship and
directing children, youth and adult choirs, and playing in
and leading contemporary and traditional worship
groups.
