Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
Here is some information about the songs composed by Russell Walden: The Annunciation - The text for this piece is an adaptation of "The Annunciation To Mary" from Rilke's Das Marienleben. The lure of the poem was Rilke's ability to compress a moment both ominous and luminous into a spiritual singularity, and the invitation to compose a vocalise for the archangel. Aramaic Lord's Prayer - This is a setting of the Lord's Prayer as translated from the Aramaic. The revelation of this language is in the duality of the spirit ("Father-Mother of the Cosmos.") Indeed, rather than imploring to be delivered from evil, we are encouraged to discover and embrace our individual gifts ("free us from what holds us back"). It is as though we can peer into the depths of scripture and clearly discern the first words! Ave Virgo Gloriosa - The text is an anonymous medieval poem exalting the Eternal Feminine. The melody came quickly and joyfully - a paean to The Virgin Mother accompanied by a distant piper and a universal heartbeat.
The Way Of Mary - In the course of this project we were awakened to the reverence for Mary in Islam and her role as a bridge builder to other religious traditions. An entire chapter of the Qur'an is devoted to Her, and the ecstatic poetry of Rumi sings of her perfection and ultimate humanity. The text for The Way Of Mary was written by a 14th C. Sufi woman.
Product Description
Blue Of The Flame is a collection of Ave Maria arrangements and devotional music honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary sung by Natalie Campbell. These are the tributes of writers and composers from across centuries and cultures: Caccini, Schubert, Elgar, Rachmaninoff and others. Natalie Campbell's rich and versatile voice embodies the divine messages of poets, monks and scripture, bringing Mary forth to embrace us and to be embraced. These are hymns to one very human and Holy Mother and to each individual, passionate and very human search for the sacred. Russell Walden arranged and produced the music. Four of his compositions are included in the collection.
"Natalie Campbell and Russell Walden have made a glorious, melodic and profoundly moving album called Blue Of The Flame. With marvelous singing by Natalie and exquisite orchestrations by Russell, the CD is filled with songs that magnify our tenderest feelings for the great miracles that lift our hopes. We all need to hear something beautiful that mends our hearts and this CD is it! Get your copy now, put it on the CD player, sit back, and bask in beauty. You deserve to hear this album!!!!"
-Judy Collins--a fan of Blue Of The Flame
"As the human realm seems to be collapsing into chaos, a most exquisite and intensely emotional voice is coming forth. Natalie Campbell's music invokes the high celestial realms with such resonance, the divine awakens within our hearts; she reminds us how to feel and imagine the most exquisite potential of our times."
-Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Pleiadian Agenda: A New Cosmology for the Age of Light
"What a beautifully produced and arranged recording, lyrical and haunting.... Natalie's singing is wonderful."
-Stephen Flaherty -- composer of "Ragtime" and "Anastasia"
