Majesty & Wonder, by Phil Keaggy Christmas

Majesty & Wonder

by Phil Keaggy Christmas

supported by

David Barnes Ironically I have only just bought this collection now that Christmas is over for 2022! Listening here to so many familiar melodies, but beautifully reworked through Phil's playing and the full backing of an orchestra is simply delightful. it's difficult to pick out tracks, but 'Silent Night', 'Coventry Carol' and 'O come o come Emmanuel' are hauntingly atmospheric.
Being a bit of a rocker at heart I enjoy 'Flight into Egypt' which has a catchy riff and the rock guitar feel of earlier albums. Favorite track: Flight Into Egypt.

Luin Loeffelbein I've become a bit of a black sheep in my family and the last few holiday seasons have been rough and lonely. But with the lights turned down, my tiny little Christmas tree lit up, and a warm beverage, Majesty and Wonder takes me back to Christmas seasons as a little kid before life became complicated. For Hearth and Home feels like comfort and joy. And as I'm looking at another holiday season of isolation, it's nice to just enjoy how warm and cozy this album feels. Favorite track: For Hearth & Home.

wespaul2000 I love this album. Great for quiet evenings during the holiday season (or anytime really). Every tune is a gem. Of course Phil's playing is wonderful but the orchestra does a fabulous job as well. Favorite track: Silent Night.

Electric Blue
by Phil Keaggy

supported by 249 fans who also own “Majesty & Wonder”

Vermillion Strands is a beautifully haunting song. The melody is strong with melancholy feeling and a lilting laid back rhythm. At first hearing the piece sounds simple but in reality there is much subtle variation here. The guitar phrasing is exquisite; acoustic guitar maintains the melody- creating a sense of space- while electric guitar and vocals interweave. The cumulative effect is one of yearning; the foretaste of heaven that CS Lewis identifies with encountering beauty on earth. Wonderful David Barnes
