JERICHO
Product Description The overall concept of "Jericho" is that God can use music - not necessarily Christian Contemporary music, but different types of music - to tear down the walls built around our sinful hearts just as He used the blaring noise produced by the Israelites to topple the walls of Jericho. (The complete story of Jericho can be found in Joshua 6.) The album contains original arrangements of traditional hymns and Christian Contemporary favorites. Two original songs by Joshua Tuburan are also included and five guest artists lend their vocal talents on a few tracks. Review "Tuburan skillfully blends hymns together...each one has been arranged to give it new life." -- CRITERION, La Sierra University, June 7, 2001 by Patricia Poblete From the Artist Just as the entire creative process of making this album was a source of inspiration and joy for me, I know that those who listen will be inspired and uplifted as well. Enjoy and God bless! About the Artist Joshua Tuburan, born in 1978, showed an interest in music at an early age while growing up on the small island of Guam. When his family moved to Glendale, California in the early 1980s, Joshuas parents decided that he needed formal piano lessons. Under the guidance of Lincoln Coltrane, Joshua first began learning how to play the piano at age five. Over the years, Joshua has received training from Helen Juman, Dr. Lily Pan Diehl, Elizabeth Dela Cruz, Dr. Kimo Smith, and Dr. Elvin Rodriguez. At age eight, Joshua performed an arrangement of "My Tribute" by Dino Kartsonakis at the Loma Linda University Church in Loma Linda, California. At age thirteen, he began to explore the creative art of composing and arranging. While completing his secondary education at Loma Linda Academy, Joshua arranged a few hymns and wrote several original songs. His musical efforts soon materialized with the release of his first album entitled "Jesus, My Redeemer" in the summer of 1996. By the fall of 1996, Joshua was a freshman at La Sierra University in Riverside, California. Although he found the academic approach to music a bit overwhelming at first, Joshua utilized the elements of theory, ear training, orchestration, and piano lessons to his advantage in developing his arranging and composing skills to a professional level. Recognized as the Outstanding Senior by the Department of Music at LSU in May 2001, Joshua recently released his second album entitled "Jericho" and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music in June 2001. Future plans include graduate studies in composition in the fall of 2002. Joshuas other interests include film production, pursing adventure in interesting and exotic places, as well as cultural studies and events. Joshua, an active member of the Seventh-day Adventist church, hopes that his music not only inspires those who listen but also draws people to the grace and love of Jesus Christ. See more
