Special Instructions
NORMA GENTILE holds bachelor's and master's degrees in voice performance from the University of Michigan. She is also a channel for Archangel Michael, Mary and the Hathor Atamira. These presences support her writing and inform her singing.
Norma has always seen auras, the subtle energy field of life-energy that surrounds all living beings. She uses this sight and her music to explore healing as a process of balancing our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions.
Born in Germany in 1098, the tenth child of a noble family, HILDEGARD of BINGEN wrote books concerning medicine, herbology, theology and two biographies of saints. Gifted from childhood with visions, she experienced both images and sounds which she attributed to heavenly sources. She described her music as translations of the sounds of the Celestial Symphony which she heard during these visions. Her musical legacy includes seventy-seven sacred monophonic chants set to her own Latin texts for use in worship services, as well as a morality play, again with both text and music of her own authorship.
