Pear Tree Music

Trudy Poirier breathes new life into hymnody. Through biblically faithful lyrics set to original melodies and arrangements, the voices of the saints in history proclaim the gospel in timeless expression. Trudy Poirier’s music is rooted in one thing: rigorously biblical theology set to creative, soul-stirring melodies. She writes original songs as well as new melodies to showcase the rich truths of classic hymns.

Many of the great hymn writers in history preached prolifically; many of the great hymn writers in history suffered greatly. These circumstances produced a treasury of praise to God. Music complements theology; music adorns the preaching of the Word in a worship service; music ministers to the heart.

Music is a language that is living, breathing, changing. Because music is not static, older music can become dated and dull-sounding to modern ears. Each culture molds and shapes the sensibilities and influences the criteria for what makes music good and pleasing.

Trudy began to write music in response to two observations: First, the theology promoted by many contemporary choruses often falls short of a careful, biblical standard. Second, the music of theologically rich hymns is sometimes uninspiring or hard for congregations to sing.

It is Trudy’s earnest desire that her music would assist the Body of Christ in worship, that the church might be "built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12-13). As Christians meditate on the grace of God lavished on them through Jesus Christ, it is her prayer that they will be stirred to “Worship God!” (Revelation 19:10, 22:9).
