about

"Uplifting Guitar Hymns" is the new CD album by guitarist and fingerstyle guitar arranger Ron Pulcer. This album was recorded at Grace Congregational Church in Rutland, VT, between September 2020 and May 2021. The CD includes 18 hymns, Spirituals and religious songs, and features instrumental fingerstyle guitar arrangements by Ron Pulcer. These timeless and well known hymns span from the 13th Century to the 1970s.

The music was recorded in the upstairs room behind the Sanctuary balcony and directly under the church’s landmark steeple. Ron played guitar sitting between two large stained glass windows; an exterior window to the west, and an interior window to the east (part of back wall of Sanctuary). The recording sessions began at 4pm, so there was some nice natural light coming through the stained glass window, at least until Vermont’s early winter sunset. The room’s high rounded ceiling provided a beautiful resonant sound for solo acoustic guitar.

The audio engineer for this recording was Phil Henry, a local high school music teacher and well known singer-songwriter. The guest musicians on this album are Anna Pulcer (flute), Linda MacFarlane (dulcimer) and Phil Henry (djembe). On several hymns, Ron also added a verse with harmonica melody. The room’s natural sound provided an ethereal quality to the harmonica melodies. Occasional bass and ukulele tracks also appear.
