Blessings through testimony
*** THE PASADENA TABERNACLE SONGSTERS ***
The testimony of others can be uplifting and encouraging to believers. That’s really our main task… our mission… to share the good news about the love of God, His gift of salvation, and how He continues in relationship with His children, at work in our lives in ways that we often don’t even see. We must share these truths and the difference that knowing Him has made in our lives with those who don’t know the Lord and also with each other. We never know how the Lord may use our personal salvation or faith walk story in the lives of others. As Christians, sometimes the testimonies that help to strengthen our faith walk are from people that we know personally. At other times, we may read them in a book or magazine, hear them on the radio, in a movie or television show… or even in a song!
The group in this photo takes the mission of sharing their testimony of faith very seriously. They are the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters from the Salvation Army’s Pasadena, CA, Tabernacle. This group has recorded several CD’s and does a major mission trip every year. They recorded Travis’ SAB Anthem, “Children of Light,” (published by Shawnee Press / Hal Leonard) on their “New Day” CD just prior to a mission trip to Australia and New Zealand. The CD is still available at this link: http://www.tabsongsters.org/previous.html , along with their current CD, “Amazing Grace” and several other previous CDs. Travis’ anthem, “Children of Light” is song #12 on the “New Day” CD (yellow cover), and the text is a perfect description of the testimony of this group: “Saved by grace, walking in faith, following Jesus Christ…we are the children of Light!”
Here is the audio from my Sound Cloud of the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters’ recording of “Children of Light”. Although this anthem has also been recorded by others, the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters are the only group which has recorded the song with the full Orchestration. Because the Publisher, Shawnee Press, had not requested or published an Orchestration, the group’s director contacted Travis and commissioned him to write a Full Orchestration for this recording and for all of the times that the song has been shared on mission trips and in their home church. (See the note about availablility below.)
The recording of their incredible choir and orchestra, singing and playing “Children of Light” can also be found on the web at: http://www.salvoaudio.com/audio/music/mus_2515.mp3

“Children of Light” is still available from the following sources:
Pine Lake Music at www.pinelakemusic.com/Results.aspx?s…ch=Travis+Boyd
It is also available from Sheet Music Plus at www.sheetmusicplus.com/composers/Travis-Boyd/18033
Note: The Orchestration heard on the Pasadena Tabernacle Songsters’ recording of “Children of Light”, commissioned by the Choir’s Director specifically for their recording project and mission trip repertoire, remains unpublished. Travis contacted the publisher after finishing the Orchestration to see if they wanted to publish it. However, the publisher declined. It is, unfortunately, not available for purchase since the song is under Shawnee Press / Hal Leonard copyright and the commissioned orchestration is owned by the group (though they were willing for it to be published).
