I Awaken to Love

Reseña del editor The first CD to demonstrate the combination of Mel's musical and spiritual paths, 'I Awaken To Love' is a collection of inspirational songs for the new millennium. It features a variety of wonderful singers from the worlds of folk, cabaret and positive inspirational. Featured singers include Jenny Giering, Bill McKinley, Amanda Satchell and Elaine Silver, as well as Dee Billia, Harry Patrick Christian, Jeremy Koch, Denene Mulay, Sunita Param and Donald (and Mel) White. Visionary vocalist David Ault describes Mel's songs as 'a much desired guidepost for those seeking a more rewarding life.' They cover all genres from pop ballad to Peter Paul & Mary style folk to contemporary classical church music to Bonnie Raitt and they include large group numbers, quartets, trios, duets and solos (even a solo by the composer herself - 'God's Troubadour'). One unsolicited testimonial from a fan in California sings the praises of 'the fantastic and heart-beacon Mel White whose music lights my heart and soul'. A songbook is available to accompany this CD, and many New Thought churches use the songs as group songs and in their choir. 'A Part Of Me' has been used in weddings and, especially in the post-9/11 world, as part of tributes and memorial services. 'Let There Be Peace Between Us' has become a traditional group song in many churches since September 11th. Highlights include Bill McKinley's 'With A Child's Heart', a simple song of faith, and rock anthem 'What Kind Of World' (Amanda Satchell), and there are strong ensemble numbers including 'Our Mother's Prayer' and 'River'. Críticas All voices were beautiful (who ARE these people?); the piano was fluid, sparse and right. I remain amazed and impressed. -- Ellis Chase, musicianMel White makes me smile. She radiates so much sweetness, authenticity, love and kindness...It's impossible to miss the love. -- Daniel Nahmod, Inspirational VocalistMel White's songs deliver great spiritual truths through a myriad of styles, for those seeking a greater, more rewarding life. -- David Ault, Visionary Vocalist Artista biografía Dee Billia was the vocalist who got Mel White her position at the 1st Church of Religious science - she sang there for many years. Harry Patrick Christian does a lot of community theater and used to sing with an a cappella group. He met Mel through her son Jeremy. Jenny Giering met Mel at a brief church job in Hoboken. She is at work on a Broadway show and is a talented composer and singer. Jeremy Koch, Mel's older son, was smitten with the performance bug at an early age. Toured as Tony in two Natl. Tours of "West Side Story". Bill McKinley was "discovered" by Mel's minister and she has loved working with him at the Duplex and at church; has roots in NY cabaret. Denene Mulay is Jeremy's wife (and was Maria with him in the "West Side Story" tour) and a wonderful performer with a wide vocal range. Sunita Param met Mel at the same Hoboken job with Jenny. She also knew Jeremy from the days at Boston Conservatory. Amanda Satchell went to college with Denene's brother Brian, and Mel "discovered" her on their Senior CD; watch out for this one! Elaine Silver is a prominent New Thought folk singer/guitarist on the East Coast and in Florida; she is a member of Mel's church. Don White, Mel's husband, does it all -- plays flute, sings, cooks, designs clothes, gardens, does photography -- and does it well. Mel White is the lucky pianist/composer who has all these vocalists in her life and gets to make music with them. Great deal!
