Revive is a not-for-profit organization that has been created to help persons who are dealing with dementia and memory issues. Few are aware of the miraculous impact music can have on persons struggling with these illnesses. On these pages you will find resources and tools that will support, encourage, and help with caring for loved ones in various stages of memory loss.

The Vagle Brothers recently recorded a CD titled, “Music is God’s Gift” that contains 19 familiar hymns. These CDs are not for sale but can be obtained upon request. The CDs are intended to be used as a tool to assist in the care of your loved ones. The recording style is simple – no key changes, no elaborate arrangements or non-traditional phrasing at the end of the hymns, just simple four-part harmonies. The specific intention of this straightforward traditional music style is to provide music that is familiar to the listener; hymns as they would have been sung and learned in one’s younger years. 

Persons without specific memory loss issues will also enjoy the music as it is very sing-able and provides an opportunity for people of all ages to enjoy the songs that don’t seem to be sung much anymore.
