J. T. ADAMS

In the last decade J. T. Adams has increasingly become a

significant force in the field of religious music. Not only

does he possess a beautiful singing voice but his ability to

compose and arrange choral groups is phenomenal as

evidenced by the success of his "Men of Texas” albums.

This album "The Prince of Peace" is an entirely original

score pertaining to the birth of the Christ Child, and is Mr.

Adams' second Christmas composition in as many years.

His first being the highly successful "Glory to God”

cantata.

WORLD TRAVELER

J. T. was born in Sulphur Springs, Texas, the place he now

resides, and graduated with a masters degree from East

Texas State College where he remained as a professor

upon graduation. His music was used most recently in

Tokyo for the Japan New Life Movement where the

audiences not only took him, but his music to their hearts.

He said that one of the thrills of his life was to have been

present to hear his music, so beautifully played, by the

(90 piece) Nippon philharmonic orchestra during this

Christian Crusade.

PREVIOUS CANTATAS

Mr. Adams has previously composed two other original

cantatas "Glory to God," a Christmas cantata, and

"Worthy is the Lamb," an Easter cantata. His latest work

"The Prince of Peace" is already receiving enthusiastic ac-

claim as have his earlier works.
