Charles Fussell (b. 1938)

Full Biographical Information may be found in the Finding Aid for the Charles Fussell Collection at MMF.

This album is dedicated to the glory of God and in memory of Adam’s grandfather, Robert Conrad. Two of the tracks feature Robert’s mandolin.

Fierce Was the Wild Billow was one of the hymns Robert most enjoyed.

“Fierce was the wild billow, dark was the night,
oars labored heavily, foam glimmered white;
trembled the mariners, peril was nigh;
then said the God of God, Peace! It is I.”

“The hymnal (Gesangbuch) is a kind of response to the Bible, an echo and an extension thereof. In the Bible, one perceives how the Lord communicates with people; and, in the hymnal, how people communicate with the Lord.” – attr. Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf    (later, per Paul Peucker, attr. to Bishop Spangenberg)

The Moravian Book of Worship “provides the means for unity in our church, on of rich diversity. … this book joins with its predecessors in extending the heritage, established when, at the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Unitas Fratrum (early Moravian Church) published what is considered to be the first Protestant hymnal.
