Fro's Music Goes Nashville (90s Circa)

Write Up Source: Soundclick Page

Music Revisited, Volumes 1 & 2 are compilations of original works written by Boholano composer-musician, Fr. J. Roel Lungay, from 1978 to the present, some of which were in collaboration with other lyricists. "AMC Theme," So You Think I'm Crazy," "Mariam," and "9th of September" were all written while still a student in the Philippines; "Sailboat," while on a vacation to Destin, FLorida, in 1988 - they comprise the earlier works of Father Roel.

Music Revisited, Volume 1 was published in 1995 to help raised funds for the Paring Bol-anon, USA Foundation whose mission was to help poor but deserving seminarians in Bohol, Philippines. Music Revisited, Volume 2 album, produced from 1995-1997, on the other hand fell short of being released.

INFLUENCE

The shift of Father Roel's early influences, from classical-choral-pop-rock influences to the country genre has been quite obvious in these 2-album sequences that may signal another shift in his songwriting preferences. His more recent works,"Revelry of Christian Music" (1996) and "Christian Art Songs" (1997-1998) have toned down in beat and rhythmic style as more of his more recent works now thrive on something spiritual and inspirational.
