Jackie Evancho, November 2013[/caption]Carol Forsloff----In a world of pain and suffering Jackie Evancho's music is teaching us to believe.
Evancho's song To Believe is creating a sensation for its message and also for the strength of the young girl's voice that carries it to great heights, both in tone, timbre and emotional delivery. The words are inspiring; a song written by her uncle speaks of the needy and those who live in war, accenting especially the children. The song is done in the form of a prayer, like a conversation with God, in a tender and sensitive manner, making the subject real through the music, lyrics and the sound of a human voice in a youth of great talent.
A sensation since America's Got Talent when Jackie Evancho was 10 years old, three years ago, Evancho has produced many songs that have been memorable, from her Christmas album to an album of classics. She made classical music a centerpiece in America following the surprise on the famous television program of a young girl with the voice of an angel, but a grown up angel's voice in the body of a child.
The song To Believe reflects the range of Jackie Evancho's voice but also speaks of the family values, accenting helping and service.
Learn to believe from the song To Believe that is here, a message that has this portion of wisdom as part of its whole:
"To believe in a day when hunger and war will pass away. To have a hope amidst despair. That every sparrow's counted. That you hear the cries and listen to each prayer."
Jackie is a national treasure and is fast becoming a world treasure. A Catholic layperson has tweeted Jackie's PBS Sarasota performance of To Believe to Pope Francis who I'm sure will appreciate not only the message the song brings but also Jackie's incredibly beautiful voice.
