Ignite! by Sacred Fire

Rising star of goddess music, Kellianna, is a featured soloist on the album, on Shawna Carol’s “Sanctify.” (Music by both Kellianna and Shawna Carol are available on CDBaby.). Original songs and arrangements by Conductor Pamela Gerke include her “trans-faith” arrangement, “Holy Comparsa!”, a rap about the power of choice and reincarnation, "Earthquakes of Power," and the Choir’s signature song, an invocation of the directions, “Thank You, Mother.” In addition to the uptempo numbers on Ignite! the album also includes two lush. slower-tempo ballads: Shawna Carol’s anthem to the earth, “Bless Our Planet,” and Patty Zeitlin’s gorgeous reflection on the power of love across time, “Long Ago, Right Here.”

This is a collection of songs that truly ignite the power of the rising feminine energy on earth!

Sacred Fire, now in their seventh year, is a Seattle-based community choir that includes women and men singers. The Choir was born through the creation of performances of music and theater at the annual Women of Wisdom conferences in Seattle (www.womenofwisdom.org) and is now the “house choir” of the popular Gaia's Temple Goddess Worship Services with Rev. Judith Laxer in Seattle (www.gaiastemple.org).

In their live performances, Sacred Fire is accompanied by local drumming favorite, Simone La Drumma (www.ladrumma.com) and by Kathy Sestrap on piano, Ciela Acosta on accoustic bass and various guest musicians, including violinist Eric Chappelle and guitarist James Howard.

Sacred Fire has also published a songbook of original music, Fire Dance – Songs of Spirit and Community. This book has 22 original and well-loved songs by members of the Choir, songs to celebrate living and loving on Earth and honoring the Wheel of the Year and the Feminine Aspect of the Divine. Each song includes melodies, chord symbols and lyrics, and the book also has composers' bios and notes about the songs. To order, see: www.sacredfirechoir.org.
