Hi, people. I too was digging for information on this song, so I reached out to Tim Hosman, who replied:
"Thanks for the nice note.
I wrote the lyric to Holy Mtn.
I'm not sure where my copy of that project is, but I believe it was sung by the co-composer Sy Gorieb (aka Sy Goraieb).
The album was produced by LA composer Michael Harriton.
There was a delightful group of 5 siblings from Africa that did some singing. I sang a few songs myself."
I then looked up Sy Goraieb, who was also kind enough to write back:
"I can't tell you what a blessing it was to receive your email - it means more than you know.
That song is one of Tim's and my favorites. Actually, the producers wanted a different song of ours for the album, called "PEACE," but it was on hold to be recorded on Integrity Hosanna's "REJOICE AFRICA" (you should check it out on itunes), so we wrote this one, with a similar feel, for RIVERS OF PRAISE.
THY HOLY MOUNTAIN was recorded as produced by Michael Harriton. We had some great musicians on the session, most notably, John Patitucci on Bass (his bass solo is amazing). Tim Hosman and I, along with the Kintaudi Family from Zaire and Tami Fick performed the lead and background vocals. There was an amazing South African guitar player on the track, as well, Louis Wasson - what a blessing and an exemplar of pure, raw talent. That's the song's history in a "nutshell."
Again, thank you for your encouragement and for taking the time to connect."
