Unfurling Love's Creation
Editorial Reviews
Rick Anderson, Critics' Choice/College Press Service, 1997
Soprano Norma Gentile's contribution is a lovely collection of works based primarily around the legend of St. Ursula, a would-be nun who took eleven thousand women with her on a pilgrimage to Rome in order to escape an arranged marriage. All died as martyrs at the hands of Attila the Hun's army rather than be taken as concubines. Gentile's dark, rich voice -- augmented occasionally by a drone choir -- is a wonderful vehicle for these pieces, and she sings with a commitment that reveals musical depths often hidden in some of the more academic recordings available on the market...Highly recommended
J. F. Weber, Fanfare Magazine, May/June 1997
...a superior recording...the Lyrichord disc is worth hearing.
Album Description
In the stillness of a single voice these medieval chants come alive through soprano Norma Gentile. Using a 'drone chorus' and Tibetan Singing Bowls for occasional harmonic accompaniment, these eleven mystical chants by 12th century seer and abbess Hildegard von Bingen draw the listener into a contemplative state.

The perfect CD to bring you back into balance.......2000-02-28
What a wonderful gift Norma Gentile's voice is to us all! Listening to this CD always puts me into a state of peace, love and relaxation. My children fall asleep to it anytime I play it at night. It is as if they have their very own angel singing them into dreamland! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the power of sound and healing!
This recording takes you into the stillness deep within.......1999-11-14
When I listen to this CD, somehow I find that I pray more effectively. I get into a meditative state much simpler, almost effortlessly. The songs evoke a sense of comfort and clarity. As the insert says, the vocalist is an "auric healer" and this CD does just that: it opens your heart and cleans out negative energy within you and your surroundings. The deep, subtle undertones accompanied by the soprano vocalist is divinity in pure expression.
