Details:
Ever wonder where some of those old favorite hymns came from? Many melodies were written long before they were put to the words we're familiar with.

Joseph DeRosa has taken the most beloved of these sacred hymns and blended them with various styles of music - baroque, jazz, blues, meditative - to compile an hour of exciting, soothing, and uplifting music.

Joseph has been playing piano since his mother, Margaret, began teaching him at age three. Her unique expression and dynamic style are present in his own playing, whether he's performing with the classic rock band Papa Clutch, or accompanying and singing as Music Director of Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Reno, Nevada. Joseph plays several instruments, including guitar and drums, and has produced many albums and jingles. Perhaps you've heard his music on Immaculate Heart Radio, a network of ten radio stations in Northern Nevada, California, and New Mexico.
