A Note from Adelaide

Dear friends, I invite you to join me in this journey of song. Allow yourself to be transported by the vocal dramatics of “Glitter and be Gay,” the mountainous echoes in “Der Hirt auf dem Felsen,” and the enchanting melodies of Villa-Lobos. The unbridled exuberance I feel when singing these glorious works of art inspired the album title Sempre Libera (always free).  It is my sincere pleasure to share with you this beautiful music that displays the unparalleled thrills of the human voice. After all, no other instrument can boast that it was made by God himself.

But it would not be possible without the outstanding contributions of so many. Firstly, David Stewart Wiley, whose combination of technical fluency, artistic sensibility, and genuine love for music and people brings out the best in all who have the privilege to collaborate with him. David Stewart Wiley is a conductor, pianist, and composer who performs and records internationally.  He is Music Director of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra (VA) and the Long Island Orchestra (NY).  Additional thanks are due to my dear friends, David, Cassandra, Nathan, Bree, Ashlee, and Chris, for enriching this disc with their talents in the most gracious way, and to my family, my husband and my two angels, who simply are my everything. And above all, to God in Heaven, for the very breath in my lungs with which to sing. Soli Deo gloria.
