New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Set to release her debut classical crossover album, 'Songs Of The Summer Realm' on May 1st,
Jessica Victoria shares her latest single Some Songs Are For Crying. Lyrically poignant with a backdrop of delicate melodies, Jessica's new single is bound to pull on every listener's harp-strings.
Born blind,
Jessica composes using Braille music and transcription and has already performed for
Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall and with orchestras in the United States,
Europe and South America.
Jessica:
"This is the first album on which I'm following my passion for song-writing and mythic history. I am a classically-trained musician who still loves to do opera, orchestra and recital work, but this album is the beginning of a new life for me in many ways.
I wrote many of the songs at my harp, Merlin, which is a Merlin RHarp made by Rick Rubarth in Colorado. Some may wonder how a girl who grew up in Albuquerque developed such a love for Celtic culture and music. One answer may lie in our family's roots. In the last few years, my research revealed the likelihood that some of my family came from Galicia, a part of Spain with Celtic links"
Collaborating artists on Songs of the Summer Realm include such well-known Scottish musicians as Lorne MacDougall of the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and the Tannahill Weavers; Mary Ann Kennedy; Euan Stevenson; Wendy Weatherby and Euan Burton.
Jessica recorded the album at Watercolour
Music in the Scottish Highlands.
