Hello everyone!

As promised, here is a piano solo for you to enjoy by Victoria! Moonlight Fantasy. 


We hope you enjoy this as much as we did performing and producing it! As always, this and all of IFP's other music can be found on our Music page.

Also, as a side note, on SoundCloud recently, we reached 125 plays on our cover of Live Like You're Loved! Thank you all SO much for your support! It really makes what we are doing worth it! And if you haven't heard it, go listen to it and make it 126 plays! ;-) The stats don't matter to us, as long as we are blessing at least one person with what we are doing. But they certainly are encouraging!

Thanks for listening and God bless!

Blessings,
Sarah Grace

Midnight Rhapsody Piano Solo

5/17/2016

Hello everyone!
 
Here is a piano solo by Sarah Grace for you to enjoy! Midnight Rhapsody. 

This song is my baby. When my piano teacher gave it to me to play nearly a year ago, I wasn’t thrilled. (yeah, I know, temperamental artist!) But, after about a week of playing it, I loved it! There was just so much emotion and feeling packed in! For which reason I love rhapsodies. It is kind of like a sonata, with different sections that contain different emotions. Slow and quiet in this section, fast and boisterous in this one.

I loved pouring my heart into it each time a play it, and even though I have been playing it for a year, I still love playing it with passion! But as much as I loved it, this was a grueling piece to learn! I it took me about 6 months to learn it, and after that came the fine tuning of the all the louds and softs, crescendos, ritardandos etc. etc. I learned this piece for a piano SAT that I did earlier this year and received a score of 22 out of 24 points.
​
I must say, this song is SO fun to play on a “real” piano! We have a keyboard, and while it is a very nice keyboard, it is a completely different and amazing experience to play on a real piano!

The cover art was also very fun to do. As soon as I decided to record it, I had a very distinctive picture of how I wanted it to look. I had fun messing around with different settings and fonts, and I love the way it turned out!

I hope you guys enjoy this piece as much is I enjoyed learning, playing and producing it! Thanks so much for your support! God bless!
 
Blessings,

Hello everyone,

Last week, we released episode 3 of Our Favorite Things! If you haven't heard it yet, check it out here!    We discussed the I.C.E. Agency series by Julia Erickson. We also interviewed Julia on the podcast and announced a giveaway! Here is some more info on the giveaway:

We are giving away TWO copies of Ashburn by Julia Erickson! To enter, post a comment on this post. For another entry, tell two friends about Our Favorite Things | A ChatCast and let us know that you did so. Please enter by May 23rd, 2016, and we will announce the winners on the next episode!

If you haven't done so already, be sure to enter! 

As for the announcement, currently, Our Favorite Things episodes release on the 2nd and last (4th) Wednesday of the month. For now, we have decided to release episodes on the last Wednesday of the month only.
With Ichthus Family Productions entering the recording\production phase of our next full audio drama, not to mention the other music productions we are working on, it is just too much to release a podcast every two weeks. At some later date, we may decide to switch back and release episodes twice a month. But for now, episodes release on the last Wednesday of the month. Episode 4 will release May 25, with episode 5 releasing June 29, etc. 

Thank you guys so much for your support and for listening to our podcast! God bless!

Blessings,

May News

Hey everyone!
Welcome to May! Spring is finally here! Here is some stuff we have planned for May.

AUDIO DRAMA:
We have finalized the script for our next audio drama and we cannot wait to for you to hear it! Writing went very well. After a few fun team “brainstorm” meetings, Victoria had it written in about a week’s time. It is going to be even bigger and better (hopefully) than Sarah, Plain and Tall! This month we will begin recording, and hopefully get into post-production by the end of the month. I (Sarah Grace) am getting itchy to do some sound design! It’s going to be a lot of fun! We may even have a guest star(s)!  Stay on the lookout for more details coming soon! We are so excited for this one! Here is a sneak peak of the script!  Grab a magnifying glass!

Also, in early April, The Audio Drama Alliance (of which IFP is thrilled to be a part of) released their second production, in which Victoria helped in post-production. Check that out here if you haven’t already. Also in the works for ADA is another production, which both Victoria and I will be a part of. We can’t wait for you to hear that one also. We will be sure to let you know when it releases.

MUSIC:
This month we plan to release some pieces from me, Victoria, and Isabella. Some vocal and a few piano solos we think you guys will enjoy! Stay on the lookout for those!

OUR FAVORITE THINGS | A CHATCAST:
If you guys remember, in April we started our podcast, Our Favorite Things | A ChatCast. We released the first two episodes and plan to release two more here in May. Our next episode will be about two novels written by independent author, Julia Erickson. Keep your eyes on the Our Favorite Things website, and if you haven’t already, check out our first two episodes!

God bless and have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Even When It Hurts . . .

5/2/2016

Comments

 
Hey everyone,
 
I heard this song and it instantly tugged on my heart. It was so applicable to some things that have been going on in our life and tears welled in my eyes as I listened to the words. I knew I had to sing it.  The lyrics are so powerful, and overall, this song is just beautiful!
​
This came from my heart and meant so much to me as I sang it. I hope it encourages and uplifts you as well. Even when it hurts, and even when it’s hard, let us still praise our God.  Enjoy Even When It Hurts cover of Hillsong United.

​By God’s Grace,
Victoria
 

LYRICS:
Take this fainted heart

 Take these tainted hands
 Wash me in your love
 Come like grace again
 Even when my strength is lost, I’ll praise you
 Even when I have no song, I’ll praise you
 Even when it’s hard to find the words, louder then I’ll sing your praise
 I’ll only sing your praise x3
 Take this mountain plain
 Take these ocean tears
 Hold me through the trial
 Come like hope within
 Even when I fight some thoughts, I’ll praise you
 Even when it hurts like hell, I’ll praise you
 Even when it makes no sense to sing, louder then I’ll sing your praise
 I’ll only sing your praise x3
 and my heart burns only for you
 you won’t, you won’t let go
 and my soul waits only for you
 I will sing, till the morning has come
 and my heart burns only for you
 you won’t, you won’t let go
 and my soul waits only for you
 I will sing, till the miracle comes
 I will only sing your praise (x3)
 Even when the morning comes, I’ll praise you
 Even when the fight is won, I’ll praise you
 Even when my time on earth is done, louder then I’ll sing your praise
 I will only sing your praise
