GREEN BAY, Wis., Dec. 5, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- Reflect on the deeper meaning of Advent with the Franciscan featured song "Awake The Voice" by Krista Detor. Enjoy a free download at the Franciscan Sisters' discernment page fscc-calledtobe.org.
Acclaimed singer songwriter Krista Detor was "Inspired by 'A Christmas Carol' by 16th century poet, Robert Herrick, 'Awake the Voice' is an attempt to reconcile the overwhelming commercialism of Christmas in the U.S.; an attempt to look further, past the plastic snowmen and half-price promises to the initial inspiration: the blinding, beautiful burst of hope, carried in the whispers of angels."
Detor's solo albums have reached national and international prominence, including #1 on the Euro-Americana Chart, and placement within the top 10 of the U.S. Folk and Independent Music charts. She has performed with such notable artists as Suzanne Vega, Joan Armatrading, The Neville Brothers, Louden Wainwright, Sam Phillips, and John Gorka, among others. Her choral works have been commissioned by the Ashland Women's Choir, the Cincinnati Women's Choir, and others.
Her latest album, Flat Earth Diary, was released January, 2014, and has been met with equivalent acclaim: "Magnificent! 5 Stars!" – Maverick, "Almost too beautiful. 4.5 Stars!" – Written in Music, Holland, among others. She's been touring the album in the U.S., Canada and Northern Europe through 2014, as she works on exciting collaborative projects.
The Roman Catholic Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity serve in Catholic Health Care, Education and Parish-Community Service in the Southwest, Central and Upper Midwest.
