http://www.RyKyRecords.com proudly presents the 'Saint Francis Cantata' CD Album A Tribute To The Life Of St. Francis Of Assisi Copyright © 2001 by Joseph F.M. Pokorny Published by RyKy Records (tm) [Voron Communications] http://www.SaintFrancisCantata.com Church Outreach Effort Announced... MUSICIAN LAUNCHES FEAST DAY TRIBUTE TO ST. FRANCIS WITH OFFER TO DONATE CANTATA CD TO 10,000 CHURCHES Order the CD! PHILADELPHIA -- October 4, 2005 -- In celebration of the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi on October 4th, a Philadelphia musician is launching a tribute to the patron saint of animals and the environment with a an offer to donate a copy of his entertaining and educational ‘Saint Francis Cantata’ CD Album for each copy sold by this Christmas to a church of the purchaser’s choice. Songwriter/composer Joseph F.M. Pokorny’s goal is to donate a CD to 10,000 churches to help reach out to the world with St. Francis’ messages of peace and goodwill and caring for the environment. The Saint Francis Cantata CD Album is a musical celebration of – and tribute to – the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, written and composed by Joseph Francis Michael Pokorny, SFO. The cantata was performed and recorded live at All Saint’s Church, Philadelphia, PA, in September 2000. It was the result of two years’ research about the life of Saint Francis and illustrates, through music and lyrics, key historical events, emotions, and messages of this influential saint. St. Francis, according to legend, preached to the birds and other creatures, as well as to people. He is respected for his care and interest in nature. The result is a unique, profound, entertaining performance that provides an insightful, thought-provoking, spiritual and learning experience, bringing the story of Saint Francis to life. The album features solos by Joseph Francis Michael Pokorny, SFO (Saint Francis); Debbie Bello (Saint Clare); and Amber Lynn Stolarski (Ave Maria Hymn). The “Saint Francis Cantata” CD is currently only available online at SaintFrancisCantata.com. It features 27 original songs by Pokorny, including “Lord, Make Me A Means Of Your Peace”, “There Is A Need”, “Calling You”, “How Can I Be Like Him?”, “A Brand New Day” and others. Lyrics and introductory sound clips are available at the web site, and a free 57 page pdf file with lyrics songbook can be downloaded from: LyricSongbooks.com. Pokorny, 61, co-founder of RyKy Records, has written over 800 songs and more than a dozen musicals and cantatas. One of his dreams is to have the “Saint Francis Cantata” performed and videotaped in Assisi, Italy. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the "Saint Francis Cantata" CD Album will benefit the Secular Franciscan Order (S.F.O.) Enjoy These Songs!... Order the CD!
