Search - Annette Cantor :: Songs to the Earth

A collection of sensual trance songs. The ancient Christian tradition of Gregorian Chant, alive in Annette Cantor's rich, melodical voice, meets the Native American flute in a beautiful dialogue, set to cello and an intricate soundscape of ethnic drums. Find yourself relaxing into the deep breath of warming vocals, grounded by the colors and taste of earth and sky. Annette alchemizes classical training, spiritual awakening, global influences and a crystalline four-octave instrument to transcend a mere listening experience. This is a meditation because it was recorded during one. This is a sacred and unbroken chant, begun in the throat of a Gregorian monk over a thousand years ago. This is a Native American prayer, the most profound connection to heaven and earth. This is the sound five hearts make when they beat as one. This is music at the frequency of faith. To experience Annette Cantor is to experience the sound of healing. The musicians sharing this CD were brought together by intuition and the recording was done as one long improvisation. Each possesses a deep and abiding sense of caring for humanity and the planet. Patrick Shendo-Mirabal is one of the Southwest?s finest Native flutists. Michael Kott is an improvisational genius on the cello. And Mark Clark provides supremely nuanced shadings on the drums. Annette herself was classically trained in Vienna before coming to the states and combining talents with C.G. Deuter, one of the founders of New Age music.
This music comes from the heart, and it goes to the heart. In love, it is given to all. Just like our most precious gift, the earth.
