Looking Into Light is an album by Joanne Hogg. It was released in 1999, [1] and reissued in 2006 as Celtic Hymns. [2]

Contents

The idea for Looking Into Light came from Hogg's father who was struck by the "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" recording by Iona. He made the suggestion that Hogg should record a complete album of hymns. Until the sudden death of her mother in February 1997, the idea was given little thought. The choice of songs and hymns came from those familiar to the family, and the album was put together over the next year or so.

The recordings were engineered by Nigel Palmer at the following studios:
