Sounds Like
Messianic Music... Lamb, Paul Wilbur, Helen Shapiro, Karen Davis, Israel's Hope, Marty Goetz, Sue Samuel, Aviad Cohen, Teshuvah. Big fan of Klezmer Music... Klezmatics, Klezmer Juice, The Klezmer Conservatory Band. Gospel Music... Sandi Patti, Twila Paris, Chris Machen.
"Such A Time As This" is a Purim song about the story of Esther, Mordecai, and evil Haman... think "One Night with the King" only with a wild Klezmer band (including Shofar and Groggers) instead of a Hollywood movie score.
Sharon Huckel is a Messianic believer
who has recorded with notable Messianic artists Paul Wilbur,
Israel's Hope, and Steffi Rubin. "Courts of Praise", Sharon's most
recent recording, is a delightful
blend of modern worship and praise music with Sharon's classic Jewish
flair.
The up-tempo worship tune,
"Into the Courts of Praise" has been receiving airplay
on the South Jersey-based Christian radio station Hope
90.5 FM.
Other stand-out tracks
on the "Courts" CD include the lovely ballad, "Remember
Me", which draws inspiration from the Biblical story of
Hannah, mother of Samuel and the instant Purim classic,
"Such a Time as This" which tells the story of Esther
with a joyful mix of guitar, piano, tambourine, and
dueling clarinet and violin. "Courts of Praise" also
includes a handful of outstanding covers and standards,
including an interpretation of the traditional Jewish
prayer, "Amidah Avot", and Melody Green's Messianic
worship favorite, "There is a Redeemer".
Sharon Huckel grew up in
Philadelphia where she studied voice at the renowned
Settlement Music School and began performing as a
soloist at the age of twelve. Later Sharon would turn
down a vocalist scholarship to Juliard - choosing instead to focus on raising her
children and supporting her husband in ministry. God soon honored
Sharon's faithfulness when Chosen People Ministries commissioned her
warmly received first recording, "For Zion's Sake" which includes duets
with international recording artist, Paul Wilbur and
musical backing from Israel's Hope..

Blessings of peace to you, Sharon! I hope your summer is going great, and that you found all kinds of wonderful and fulfilling things to do. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch, as often as I'd like to, but I want to let you know that you are in my prayers, and that I'm thinking of you with the love of the Father. Have a glorious week!
Shalom, Sharon!
Glorious Resurrection Day!! The Passover Lamb is now the Risen Messiah! Our precious Jesus...Yeshua Ha'Masiach is alive...He has risen just as He said!! Behold, He makes all things new! Hallelu-YAH!!!
May this weekend be one of true rest and peace...a true sabbatical. Allow your heart to be quiet, so that you can hear exactly what God desires for your heart.
Hi Sharon, You are the blessing!! I love your cd, and it ushers me into the worship zone!
Be encouraged today. When you're faithful in the smaller things, God can trust you with greater things...He wants to trust you with His heart. You are no longer servant, but He calls you "friend".
Dearest Sharon, Please know that I'm thinking of you, often. I've been working on glorious new worship and Passover songs, and I stay in a state of wonderful anticipation.
Because we are connected as friends, these are exciting times for us. I expect signs, wonders and miracles! Be encouraged...I sure am.
I received your "Courts Of Praise" CD in the mail today and I have to tell you that GOD's anointing is so strong on you sis... You have a beautiful singing voice and I love all the songs on that CD. Thank you so much for sending it to me. I hope I don't wear it out but then again - that's a good thing... :O)
