GRAMMY Awards 2011 Restructuring

When the GRAMMY's first started in 1959, they honored 28 categories in music. By 2011, the total number of awards handed out every year had grown to 109.
The GRAMMY Awards' 2011 restructuring will mean 31 fewer categories in 2012. While all of the main fields will remain the same, the categories themselves are changing.
For Christian and Gospel music fans, the restructuring will mean two less awards in 2012.
Rather than expand the field to truly represent the vast expanse of Christian music styles, they have further boxed the genre in by failing to acknowledge that Christian music offersBluegrass, Country,Metal, Inspirational, Pop, Praise and Worship, Rap, Rock, Southern Gospel andUrban/R&B Gospel.

Be Part of Don Moen's New Worship Project

Friends,

I'm in the process of creating a new worship project, and I want you to be part of it!

In the past, a record label has funded my creative projects, but today, I'd like to try something new. I'd like to give you the opportunity to pre-order my next project.

Voice to Spirit - Lord's Prayer

Voice to Spirit: A clever way to describe worship, Our voices praising God.
The Duo Voice to Spirit consists of the guy who makes the noise (Mackenzie) and the girl who sings it to life (Brittany).
The music is a poetic blend of inspiring vocals, organic pianos, strings, vintage synthesizers and a collision of drum machines and bass.
All of the music is recorded in Mackenzie's personal studio.
