"I find the Your Bountiful Light music to be
an excellent and refreshing musical experience." "I immediately became intoxicated with
the music and the arrangements, and they have become a significant part
of my musical life since that day." "I was deeply moved by parts of the concert in
ways that took me by surprise, since I am mostly unfamiliar with Jewish
liturgical music. First of all, I was on the verge of tears with the haunting
beauty of several of the pieces which, for me, tapped into a mixture of
spiritual longing and sense of the bitter-sweet depths of the experience
of life. . . . " "I feel as if I’m a witness to something
you can normally observe only in time lapse photography -- a process,
like a plant flowering, that is quite miraculous -- all this new creation
materializing while we watch and listen and while we sing as one voice." "Really, no words can describe it except "beautiful"
and " spiritually moving" . . . I wish I could have brought
along a ton of people that I know would have loved it -- you have to be
there in person to experience it." "The Concert was special and magical! I was very
moved by the music and all the wonderful voices. Everything came together
with very rich textures. Norma has really touched people. In my opinion,
this marks the formal beginning of a grand journey of new music that will
bring a spirituality and joyful sound to many." "For years I have been moved by Norma's liturgical
compositions, not knowing who composed them. I truly had no sense of the
collective power of Norma's contribution to Jewish liturgy until the CD
came out and I could listen to the repertoire time and again." |
