The Vocal Artist

What is a classical tenor to do when he doesnât want to sing opera? Like most classically-trained tenors, Patrick Stalinski can list many of the master works among his repertoire. While Patrickâs early career focused on classical sacred performances, his real passion is to re-create traditional music in new ways. For those who would not normally listen to classical music, he strives to give them a taste of musicâs power and still feel like they are listening to something new. He sometimes describes the genre-stretching style of his first two albums as âclassically-flavored new age pop.â

A rare ânaturalâ tenor, Patrickâs range and versatility are evidenced throughout his work. From Bach Cantatas to Broadway tunes, heâs even dared to sing Denver, bringing audiences to tears with his own rendition of Annieâs Song. He is a torch song tenor, a la Rondstadtâs âround Midnight and lilts lighter than Lanza through a good love song.

The Recordings

A trip to Boulder, Colorado in 1996 cemented a relationship with composer Yves Vincent of San Diego, who began writing new arrangements to accompany Patrick's natural tenor voice. Pat believed it wasn't enough to simply sing the familiar songs in their traditional way, and the soul of Yves' arrangements made the perfect match to the passion of his voice. Yves says, âPatrickâs clear voice sings straight to the soul.â

In March 1997, the pair completed their first release, To Sing A Prayer, which includes such favorites as Ave Maria, Amazing Grace and the moving spiritual, Were You There. In their second album, Christmas Reborn, the team risks again the boundaries of traditional music genres with a sound that transcends them all. While demonstrating his passion and versatility, Patrickâs Christmas album makes listeners dance, cry, smile ⦠and well, really listen.

About Aurora Music for the Millennium
Music is humanity's most evolved form of expression and communication. Music's reason, emotion, and spirit are communicated beyond mind to mind, they are communicated in the depth of the soul. When that music seeks to communicate a sense of the Sacred and Holy, the possibility is increased exponentially for us to catch some glimpse of the Unknowable Divine in a moment of grace--for both performers as the instrument and audience as its receiver. During these moments of grace, humanity is inspired and compelled towards its permanent manifestation-to make it On Earth as it is In Heaven.
