The Story of this CD
In the year 1996 I brought out an album of songs all inspired by the life of St. Francis of Assisi.  It was my first-ever recording not singing opera but using my voice in an intimate, balladic style to transport the spiritual simplicity of the music. In the few years leading up to the recording I’d spent a lot of time in Assisi singing in the streets, the churches, often sitting in the fields serenading the sheep and birds or other pilgrims. I had trimmed my voice down to its essentials, singing as vulnerably and as directly as I could. I stopped “performing” as such and was simply trying to share the essence of each song with the listener through my voice.  By so doing, I discovered an entirely new path for me as an emerging “soul singer” and a beautiful new audience for my music as well.  25 years later, I hope the immediacy of these songs is still capable of touching and awakening feelings in your own heart as they so powerfully did in my own.
