Yoke of the King: New Messianic Music from Troy Mitchell. Yoke of the King: New Messianic Music from Troy Mitchell.

Beth Immanuel's worship leader, Troy Mitchell, just released his debut album, Yoke of the King.

You can listen to sample tracks or purchase the CD online here.

Mitchell’s original songs draw from the Gospels, the Hebrew of the Tanach, the Midrash, synagogue prayers, and first-century liturgy—even utilizing the Greek of the Apostolic Scriptures—to bring a fusion of Chassidic joy, gospel hope, jazz, and soulish prayer focused on the light of Messiah.

Mitchell’s music is a gift to the new generation of Messianic Jewish music.
