Colors of My Heart, as with previous releases by Navajo native Sharon Burch, blends contemporary folksy acoustic styling with rich Diné musical heritage. Paying homage to the lineage of her mother's people, the land to which she is inextricably bound, and the eternal spiral of life, Burch enchants listeners of all backgrounds with an accessible earthy femininity. Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, the artist sings in both English and her native tongue, her voice ringing out with bell-like clarity, suffused with sweetness and weight. William Eaton's warm tones provide a warm low-end on bass and synth guitar, and the songs are further filled with sounds of silver flute, violin and cello, and drums and rattle. The cozy and practical intimacy of "We Are Here" and the title cut gather the listener in like a warm fire on a November night, while "Spotted Horse" surprises with a Navajo twist on the doo-wop sound, and "Little Star Shine" joyously celebrates motherhood. Colors of My Heart paints the world in hues that one is better for having seen. --Paige La Grone

ringtone88.com superstar singers. Most of them are blasts from the past such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, Sting, Huey Lewis, and Randy Newsman, but there is also new blood such as Christina Aguilera, Sarah McLachlan, Vanessa Williams, and even Jennifer Love Hewitt. Peabo Bryson comes out ahead, with the aforementioned "Beauty and the Beast" and another duet, "A Whole New World" with Regina Belle.

This disc is perfect for grown ups, who like the "real" singers singing the best songs from the Disney movies their kids have been dragging them to for the past decade. Vanessa William's "Colors of the Wind" is my personal favorite, although it is hard not to recall the fantastic opening of "The Lion King" when you hear Elton John do "Circle of Life." On the fun side of the ledger I like Randy Newman and Lyle Lovett working their collective ways through "You've Got a Friend in Me" a bit more than Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M's "Hakuna Matata."

Trivia Answer: "A Whole New World" was #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart for one week starting on March 6, 1993. It is the song that replaced Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" after 14 weeks on top.

Good CD.......2002-12-29

This is a great CD, but I was kind of disappointed that there weren't more tracks on it. Other than that, you and your kids will be singing along in the car for sure.

An Arizona Opinion.......2006-12-04

When people ask me about Sharon Burch, I tell them "Think traditional Navajo meets Peter, Paul, and Mary"!

She has a trained voice, but is heavily influenced by her father- a "Singer" (shaman). She sings mainly women and children's songs in Navajo and English. I am fascinated by Navajo Yeibichai songs, but can't listen to them for too long. Sharon Burch, on the other hand, I can listen to all day!

I notice that the other reviews talk about this being great for kids- which I am sure it is- but it is also great for adults!!!

Wonderful!!.......2006-11-26

My son (age 5) and his Kindergarten class performed two of the songs from this CD during an "Interfaith Prayer Service" at our Catholic Church. The two songs were "We Are Here" and "Colors of My Heart." The teacher choreographed hand gestures (sign language?) and the children did an amazing job! They loved the music, and my son still likes to sing along when he hears these songs. This music is wonderful! I would recommend this CD to anyone with young children.

Amazing - Simply Amazing.......2004-10-12

I have listened to Sharon since living in Arizona. I have used her music in my Native American Storytelling to illustrate the connection to the animals, the earth and to each other. Children love this CD - I played it for my children as babies and have given it as baby gift's to other parents. I can't say enough of how rich and wonderful Sharon's messages, lyrics and music are - how they can calm the sea's of life and make me smile. If you want those same feelings - buy this CD - it's Amazing - Simply Amazing!!!!

Pure Musical Enjoyment.......2003-08-19

I have To Touch The sweet Earth & this CD & I absolutely love Sharon Burch. I have played this CD more than the other one. Her voice & her music are wonderful. I cannot adequately put into words how she touches me with her music. All I can say is listen for yourself & see how beautiful her music is. Let her reach out & touch you.

Beautiful in every way.......2000-05-16

I've played this album innumerable times for my art classes at an elementary school. Kids never tire of it. They have learned the words and love to sing along. The messages of the songs touch the heart and help make better people. I have intended to write this review for a long time but after observing the children's response to it today I felt it was time. PERFECT for Kids. I love this album. Thank you Sharon Burch.

ringtone88.com Another fantastic piece is Words of the Sun, by Chinese composer Zhou Long. It is probably the most accessible song on the CD, with numerous lovely subtleties and nuances that can be fully appreciated after multiple exposures.

Lastly, I'd like to express my sincere conviction that In Time Of (by Steven Sametz, set to a poem by E.E. Cummings) is the single most gorgeous piece of music I have ever had the great fortune to hear. The sonority is perfectly balanced, each arching phrase better than the one before. Please, for the sake of pure unadulterated beauty, purchase this CD. You will not regret it.

Beautifully delivered as always, but not my material........2002-07-30

I came to this album as a fan of Chanticleer more than of contemporary art music, though I like to think I do have a certain ear for the stuff. I haven't been educated in it, but I've sung some in my time in choruses, and I learned to appreciate those pieces the way that I learned to appreciate the more classical stuff as a child--by feeling it and hearing it come out of my own body, the ways that it worked, what was exciting, ect. That said, there is a point where I don't get it, and I reached that point all over this album. I thought I'd pass it on because it is hard for most of us to pick this kind of music off the shelf--there will be pieces that skewer us and some that make us fidget. For my part, I am grateful to have the album for the sake of three (long) songs. The Tavner Wedding song itself is probably worth it. But the album will never be put on leisurely.

Lives up to their reputation.......2001-03-07

Just recently had the opportunity to hear Chanticleer in concert...this CD certainly gives a cross section of their range...especially liked the "Tang Poems" and "Words of the Sun", which they performed live...very esoteric mix of musical styles...well worth the purchase for Chanticleer lovers!

One of the best I've picked up in ages.......2000-11-25

First of all let me state that the 4 stars isn't for the performance...which is truly outstanding...it is for a few pieces that are a tad sub-par. I also want to mention that its not that the pieces are modern either, I happen to be extremely sympathetic to modern music.

I usually don't like to do reviews this way, but I'm going to make a few comments piece by piece:

1) CRADLE SONGS - The first two of this trio of lullabies are great...the ones from Brazil & Poland are hauntingly beautiful...I'm not so crazy about the one from Tobago. A fairly strong piece, its certainly interesting.

2) VILLAGE WEDDING - This is one of the best three pieces on the album, and probably the best. Hearing John Tavener's work next to his contemporaries is an easy indicator of why he is considered one of this century's greatest and certainly one of the greatest living composers. Simultaneously it is joyous, austere, reverent & spiritual. Simply beautiful & amazing.

3) CANTI D'AMOUR - This is an up & down work. I'm not sure what the composer had in mind, but I find the first part to be amusing. It reminds me of barbershop quartet. It has more somber moments too that are quite moving. Overall though, its okay.

4) WORDS OF THE SUN - After the Tavener piece, this is my favorite one. I would like to hear some of Zhou Long's other works. It is a very subtle piece. Very Chinese too, yet simultaneously western. This is one of my favorite pieces by eastern composers of western music. Lyrically, it is amazing. Its borrowed from a 20th century Chinese poem that is gorgeous in English, I'm sure its even more so in Chinese. Musically, it is very stirring.

5) TANG POEMS - This piece too is written by a Chinese composer (Chen Yi) and it is distinctly Chinese. I am intrigued at some of the techniques used by the composer. I am really pleased with the piece, although I'm sure some find it a little "too eastern." It is extremely pretty if one is accustomed to eastern melodies. The 2nd part is a bit sharper and probably less accessible than the first part.

6) THE RUB OF LOVE - One of the duller pieces on the album.

7) IN TIME OF - Sublime. The opening few bars are unearthly. Definately one of the three best pieces. They definately need to keep this one in their concert repetoire (along with the Tavener and the two pieces by Chinese composers.) This is one of those works you have to hear to believe.

8) LOVE SONGS - This is a quirky collection of tunes by Augusta Read Thomas. It runs the gamut of serious to extremely silly. There are some strong points here, but some of it is too silly to stand the test of time ("Alas, The Love of Women"). Eventhough it is extremely unconventional, the part entitled "For Stony Limits Cannot Hold Love Out" is powerful. It is piercing & strange, but it really works with the text.

There are times when I love everything on this CD, and times when some of it gets on my nerves. It is, however, never boring and the performances are superb. I highly congratulate Chanticleer for not sitting on their laurels. This is adventursome stuff and it works 90% of the time, which is more than I can say for 99% of the ensembles out there.

I highly recommend this disc for "Village Wedding," "Words of the Sun," "In Time of," and "Tang Poems."

Pick it up, be adventuresome. Enjoy.

Fantastic recording of contemporary choral works.......2000-09-21

Chanticleer is one of the USA's finest choral ensembles, and they have picked a marvelous and diverse program for this recording -- with something that would appeal to absolutely everybody. The inclusion of two "husband-wife" pairs in the choice of music also makes for a special connection to the theme of the disc. Of special note to this reviewer are the "delicious" sonorities of Bernard Rands's "Canti d'Amor" and Augusta Read Thomas's "Love Songs" -- Chanticleer is a group who is able to pull off this difficult music beautifully. This recording was absolutely deserving of the Grammy that is received -- one of the finest discs of modern choral music in the past few years.

The Real Thing.......2007-01-27

I'm a HUGE Mantovani fan and have had mixed results trying to upgrade my collection to CDs. This collection is the original orchestra arrangements of all the classics. This is the one to buy.

Fantastic Collection of Favorites!!!.......2003-07-02

The Mantovanti Orchestra shows off their "marvelous versatility" in this "wonderful" collection of "8 CDs", with titles that tell you "just what to expect", such as: "The Love Songs", "Memorable Classics", "Itallian Favorites", "On Broadway", etc. You can set the MOOD for practically ANY occassion! There are even some "popular" selections that we all know and treasure like: "Moon River", "Over the Rainbow" and "Autum Leaves"!
You will NOT want to remove these GREAT CDs from your CD Player, once you have listened to them! They make "nice" background music for small get-togethers or "lovely" background music for those "ROMANTIC DINNERS", for you and your "SPECIAL SOMEONE"!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SET!!! It is a GREAT DEAL for the money, even at the full price!!!

a magnificent telling of the first half of a love affair.......2000-02-03

which is to say, the fun part...

this album MUST be listened to in conjunction with farrell's "it's over", maybe the best history of a romance gone wrong ever put down on record.

no need to go into the singer's career here; if you're bothering to look at this page, you probably already know the details. suffice to say that ef was the only classically trained singer who was as great a performer of broadway-style tunes as she was in her main field.

of all the recordings she made a few years back, this one is essential to any fan of pop music. and her version of "the music that makes me dance" leaves ms. streisand in the dust!

thank god she augmented her few earlier pop albums with this series of recordings. an Decoupe adele blanc-sec
