Sacred Fire is creating a new genre of music honoring Earth, celebrating Spirit, and illuminating the Divine Feminine in all, with creative and lively arrangements that integrate the Choirâs rich, spirited sound with a full and energetic band.

Ignite! is the Choirâs first studio-recorded album, an inspired and inspiring collection of songs written by members of Sacred Fire and their Conductor/Arranger, Pamela Gerke, and by celebrated artists of earth-centered and feminine-centered spirituality including: Shawna Carol, composer of Goddess Chant and her newly released Gaia Rocks; Z. Budapest, well-known Wiccan author and Priestess; Abbi Spinner McBride, popular singer/songwriter in goddess and Earth-based spirituality circles; and Linda Hirschhorn, composer and performer of feminine-oriented Hebrew and other spiritual songs and chants. Ignite! also includes a tune by nationally famous blues artists, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and Kofi Burbridge.

Rising star of goddess music, Kellianna, is a featured soloist on the album, on Shawna Carolâs âSanctify.â (Music by both Kellianna and Shawna Carol are available on CDBaby.). Original songs and arrangements by Conductor Pamela Gerke include her âtrans-faithâ arrangement, âHoly Comparsa!â, a rap about the power of choice and reincarnation, "Earthquakes of Power," and the Choirâs signature song, an invocation of the directions, âThank You, Mother.â In addition to the uptempo numbers on Ignite! the album also includes two lush. slower-tempo ballads: Shawna Carolâs anthem to the earth, âBless Our Planet,â and Patty Zeitlinâs gorgeous reflection on the power of love across time, âLong Ago, Right Here.â

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 âhouse choirâ 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 â 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.
