Album Back-Story

More Precious Than Gold was our first album, professionally recorded in 1982 at Pinebrook Studio in Alexandria, Indiana. It was produced by Steve Millikan, a very gifted musician who also played keyboards and arranged the instruments and vocals for the pieces. Sound engineer: Steve Archer; bass guitar: Steve Dokken; percussion: Steve Hanna; electric and acoustic guitars: Jim Hronchek; trumpet: Gregory Tryling; English horn, saxophone and clarinet: Greg Imboden; background vocals Shelly Harris, Julie Makers, Craig Patty, Chandra Hronchek, Steve Millikan and members of New Covenant Fellowship. The synthesizer was a Pro One, an early monophonic synthesizer, and was played by Jim H, Steve M and Charles Woodrick. Each song from the album was based on The Lords Prayer, exploring its depths of meaning. All of the song lyrics were meticulously based on scripture from the King James Bible.

Our Father is based on: Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Our Father

by Chandra Hronchek | More Precious Than Gold

I studied under an orthodox Jewish man who often asked me to learn hasidic music to play for the other students and for some festivals. Since I am not Jewish, this was quite an honor and I fell in love with the sound of the wailing clarinet. The clarinet part for this song was not written out, but I explained to Greg what I wanted and he ad-libbed the entire clarinet part for this song. For the celebratory ending, we invited people from our church to come into the studio to help raise the level of praise.
