Editor's note

Harpa Cristã, the Brazilian hymn group

Their hymns like 'O Grande Eu Sou' shaped worship in Brazil for decades.

For a sense of their sound, 'O Grande Eu Sou' and 'Alvo Mais Que a Neve' frame it well. They're hymns that stuck around.

Harpa Cristã's hymns became staples in Brazilian Christian worship, with songs like 'O Grande Eu Sou' and 'Alvo Mais Que a Neve' reaching far beyond church settings. They recorded over 50 albums of hymns and ballads, providing comfort and inspiration throughout the 20th century. Their music simply resonated with people who appreciated the melodies.

The group started in 1922 when musicians gathered in Rio de Janeiro, with early members including José Nunes and Salomão Luiz Ginsburg. They faced some resistance from traditional institutions but kept performing and recording. Their hymns like 'Vem Cear' and 'Mais Perto Quero Estar' found a lasting place in Brazilian life.
