Drenched with orchestral elements, <em>A Beautiful Liturgy<\/em>&#8216;s self titled EP, sounds contemporary and classic in their approach to these five songs.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Beautiful Liturgy<\/em> begins with a modern kyrie, &#8220;Lord Have Mercy.&#8221; Emilie Joelle&#8217;s voice is emotive and evocative, dwelling on the mercy of God. Beginning simply with just vocals and guitar, it swells into waves of gorgeous pools of sound. Rich&#8217;s voice adds wonderful textures in the harmonies. &#8220;From Shore to Shore&#8221; Emilie and Rich swap vocal duties. The lyrical images in this track are exceptional, rich in depth and marine themes. &#8220;O To Be Like You&#8221; and &#8220;You&#8217;re Coming Home Soon&#8221; feature more of Emilie&#8217;s honeyed vocals, with Rich leading the final track &#8220;Today a Risen King.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, this EP is head and shoulders above many other songwriters, exhibiting the years of devotion to song craft between father and daughter. Melodically it&#8217;s a bit melancholy in approach, but suits the vocal stylings of Emilie Joelle. If you&#8217;re a fan of Daughter, London Grammar, or The Brilliance, this is something you&#8217;ll want to pick up.<\/p>\n<p>iTunes: <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/a-beautiful-liturgy-ep\/id1091831215\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/a-beautiful-liturgy-ep\/id1091831215<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amazon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beautiful-Liturgy\/dp\/B01CJ26CVW\/\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beautiful-Liturgy\/dp\/B01CJ26CVW\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>CDBaby: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdbaby.com\/cd\/abeautifulliturgy\">http:\/\/www.cdbaby.com\/cd\/abeautifulliturgy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/abeautifulliturgy.com\/\">http:\/\/abeautifulliturgy.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fitvids-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Beautiful Liturgy -- &quot;Today A Risen King&quot;\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4pfPKVswXKQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Father daughter duo, Rich Kirkpatrick and Emilie Joelle known as A Beautiful Liturgy, bring a deeply introspective side to worship<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"A Beautiful and Evocative Liturgy\r\n#worship #praiseandworship #CCM #contemporaryWorship #jesus","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[544,10,40,7,228],"tags":[244,16,41,14,23,12,35,245,70,38,24,36,13,22,246,25,17,37],"class_list":["post-149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-544","category-adult-contemporary","category-contemporary-worship","category-eps-and-singles","category-worship","tag-a-beautiful-liturgy","tag-adult-contemporary","tag-alternative","tag-ccm","tag-christian","tag-christian-music-reviews","tag-contemporary","tag-emilie-joelle","tag-ep","tag-intimate","tag-jesus","tag-ministry-music","tag-new-christian-music","tag-new-music","tag-rich-kirkpatrick","tag-solid-ground","tag-solid-ground-reviews","tag-worship"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/solidgroundreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/abeautifulliturgy-beautyliturgycover603x449.jpeg?fit=603%2C449&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7NJiN-2p","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":154,"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149\/revisions\/154"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/solidgroundreviews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
