Songs of Worship & Songs of Faith
| Perry first recorded "Ave Maria" and "The Lord's Prayer" at the Church of Incarnation, New York City, in September, 1949. His first album sessions, produced by Charles Grean, for other songs of worship and what later were described as "Songs of All Faiths", were recorded at the Academy of Arts & Letters, again in New York City, during the summer of 1950. In 1956, two of these hymns plus the original 1949 recordings were combined with Perry's 1953 album "I Believe" to form the RCA Victor 12" LP "I Believe" which remained in tact for thirty more years prior to the introduction of the compact disc. The remainder of the hymns, not included within the 1956 compilation, were later released within the 1969 RCA Camden compilation "The Lord's Prayer" ( including 1959 versions of "Ave Maria" and "The Lord's Prayer" ) and this compilation continues to be available on music cassette. |
