About This Candle Many angels grace my life: in moments of need, fear, confusion and sometimes just to loosen me up a little bit. They appear as friends, strangers, animals and magical encounters with "coincidence." When I read this quote by Sophy Burnham, author of A Book of Angels, I knew I'd found the perfect quote for our angel blessings candle. This candle was created to acknowledge and say thank you to the people who have been an angel for you. It's also meant to draw angelic energy into your life, and inspire you to be an angel for others. (This candle is also part of our baby blessings candle set). —Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

1. Luminous Spirit Chants of Hildegard von Bingen
Original Release Date: 1998
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: This might just be the Hildegard CD you're having if you're having only one. Unlike CDs by the better-known Sequentia and Gothic Voices--all superb and highly recommended--here we get Hildegard sung by one voice, that of the lovely Rosa Lamoreaux, whose natural, warm, unaffected, but dramatically involved presentation keeps the listener riveted. She is supported by Tina Chancey and Scott Reiss (known collectively as Hesperus), who entwine the vocal lines with music for recorders, hammered dulcimer, vielle, viola da gamba, and other instruments--as well as performing three solos. Recorded in a soft-focus acoustic, this disc surrounds you with delicacy, devotion, and elegance--much the way Hildegard might have wanted it. Highly recommended to all lovers of beautiful music.
2. Kambu Angels
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: It's ironic that Samite's music is an express train to peacefulness, given that so much of his inspiration is drawn from the suffering and separation associated with his being a Ugandan refugee who grew up during Idi Amin's reign. In fact, Samite's brother was killed during that country's struggles. Samite only returned there a few years ago, and much of the music on Kambu Angels is drawn from that experience. It's this undertow of pain that lends even Samite's sweetest, most childlike songs an emotional depth. Singing in his native Lugandan tongue, Samite's songs are like lullabies. He layers his voice into gentle choirs and hymnlike rounds on "Tokido" and "Zenina." He does the same thing with the electric kalimba and percussion with which he accompanies himself, making a hypnotic African minimalism. His instrumentals are equally captivating. The title track is a trancelike piece with cycling kalimba and wood flute blown across the top like an African breeze.
3. City of Angels: Music from the Motion Picture [SOUNDTRACK]
Original Release Date: 1998
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: This soundtrack to the movie City of Angels has a mighty tall order to fill. The film is a remake of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire, and the German director is known for his effective use of music. But where Wenders can call on his friends such as R.E.M. and Elvis Costello to contribute songs, City of Angels feels more like a marketing device. No less than half the selections are by Warner Bros. artists, including some new music by Alanis Morissette, her first since Jagged Little Pill. That song, "Uninvited," is the album's highlight, a restrained modal ballad in the mode of Zeppelin's "Kashmir." The rest alternates between other female stars such as Paula Cole and Sarah McLachlan and bluesy selections from Hendrix, John Lee Hooker, and Eric Clapton.

From Amazon.com: A Rumor of Angels is based on Grace Duffie Boylan's Thy Son Liveth: Messages from a Soldier to His Mother, a 100-year-old little book containing inspiring messages about the afterlife. Co-writers James Eric and Jamie Horton were intrigued by its suggestion that death is a new beginning and communication with the dead is possible. Director Peter O'Fallon (Suicide Kings) also was intrigued by this material and joined them in updating the story to contemporary times for the screen. The result of this collaboration is a soul-stirring drama, bolstered by exceptionally strong performances by Vanessa Redgrave and Trevor Morgan, about the dynamics of grief, the importance of cross-generational friendships, and the nature of love. The idea that death is not the end but merely a transition is a common tenet in most of the world's religions. It's no wonder, then, that despite a lack of hard evidence and scientific proof, millions of people around the globe claim to be in some form of contact with deceased loved ones. This deeply spiritual film taps into the meaning and consolation that can result from these afterlife communications.

From Amazon.com: Tony Kushner's prize-winning play Angels in America became the defining theatrical event of the 1990s, an astonishing mix of philosophy, politics, and vibrant gay soap opera that summed up the Reagan era for an entire generation of theater-goers. Post-9/11 would seem to be too late for a film version--philosophy and politics don't always age well--but this 2003 HBO adaptation, ably directed by Mike Nichols (The Graduate), provides a time capsule of the '80s and reveals the deep emotional subcurrents that will give the play lasting power.
The story centers around Prior Walter (Justin Kirk) and Louis Ironson (Ben Shenkman), a gay couple that falls apart when Prior grows ill as a result of AIDS. But cancer is not the only thing invading Prior's life: He begins to have religious visions of an angel (Emma Thompson, Sense and Sensibility) announcing that he is a prophet. Louis, who doesn't cope well with disease and suggestions of mortality, leaves and starts a relationship with Joe Pitt (Patrick Wilson), a closeted Mormon who works for Roy Cohn (Al Pacino), the real-life right-wing lawyer notorious for his ruthless behind-the-scenes machinations. Add in Joe's depressed and hallucinating wife Harper (Mary Louise Parker, The West Wing), his determined but open-minded mother Hannah (Meryl Streep), a fierce drag queen/nurse named Belize (Jeffrey Wright, Basquiat, reprising his celebrated performance from the Broadway production), and you've still only begun to discover the wealth of characters and storylines in Kushner's ambitious work.
The powerhouse cast (also featuring James Cromwell, Michael Gambon, and Simon Callow) is uniformly superb. The script has its weaknesses--some of the fantastic elements, including Prior's journey to Heaven towards the end, fall flat--but even what doesn't work is bristling with ideas and a ferocious desire to capture human existence in this time and place.
(1988) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: "There are angels over the streets of Berlin," quotes the movie poster, but these are like no angels you've ever seen. Bundled in dark overcoats, they watch over the city with ears open to the heartbeat of the human soul, listening to the internal musings and yearnings of earthbound humans like existential detectives. In these delicate, astounding scenes we float through the thoughts of dozens Berlin citizens, from the weary and worn to the hopeful and young, as the angels record the magic moments for some heavenly record. But when Damiel (the empathic and sensitive Bruno Ganz) falls in love with an angel of another sort, the lonely trapeze artist Marion (willowy, sad-eyed Solveig Dommartin), he gives up the contemplation and observation of life to experience it himself.
Wim Wenders's most purely romantic film is like poetry on celluloid, a celebration of the transient and fragile moments of being human: the warmth of a cup of coffee on a cold day, the embrace of a friend, the touch of a lover, the rapture of love. Opening with an angel's-eye view of Berlin in silvery black and white (delicately captured by the great cinematographer Henri Alekan, who photographed Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast 40 years earlier), it transforms into a gauzy color world when Damiel "crosses over" by sheer will. Peter Falk plays himself as a fallen angel with a special sensitivity for celestial visitors ("I can't see you, but I know you're there," he proclaims), and Otto Sander, whose smiling eyes brighten a face etched by eons of waiting and watching, is Damiel's partner. Wenders made a sequel in 1993, Faraway, So Close, and Hollywood remade the film as City of Angels with Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. | ||||||||||
