Fernando Ortega is a poetic conversationalist. His songs are known to be full of wonder about everyday life and are oftentimes dressed in various sounds of folk country classical or pop. His new release The Shadow of Your Wings: Hymns and Sacred Songs however shows a new sense of wonder for the world about him one tied strongly to prayerful study of the Bible and devotion.


Responding to the barrage of noise and life around him Ortega dives into scripture and liturgy to grieve the loss of loved ones and to find a fresh perspective on worship. He then sets these Bible texts and inspirations to music and writes new sacred songs with a very classical feel using mostly voice and piano as on the stirring Grace and Peace" and "All Flesh Is Like the Grass." The hymns (some ever so slightly rearranged) are part of Ortega's journey and he uses them methodically without sounding contrived. The new and the old become seamless and create what feels like a shadow of protection.


Produced and mixed by Ortega and Grammy-winning engineer Gary Paczosa (Alan Jackson Dixie Chicks) the project is further enhanced with numerous special musical guests including Alison Krauss and Susan Ashton and the harmonies of Vince Gill and Dan Tyminski (Union Station). Grammy winners Turtle Island String Quartet give life to arrangements by longtime collaborator John Schreiner on numerous tracks. Devotion to God is worship of God and in a subdued meditative manner Ortega creates the right atmosphere in which the listener can reflect on God and commune with God.

    The sensitive arrangement of sacred songs, the quality of singing and musicianship is exceptional without losing the real focus - the grandeur and majesty of the hymns which express the majestic way the old hymns bring the principles and teachings of the word of God in a fresh and respectful way that many of the contemporary writers simply do not know how to express. Fernandinho Ortega brings these hymns and sacred songs to new ears in a sensitive and fresh way that ministers to the soul.
