Swoon over Il Divo (I already did!)

I have an confession to make:  I’m a choir girl.  Yes, yours truly, in all of my chic glory is actually a very good 2nd Soprano.  I have been singing in a choir for as long as I can remember — I think my earliest memory is the 4th grade, but it may have started even before that.  I sang all through high school and auditioned for the Women’s Chorale in college, and was the lone French major in a room full of Music majors.  It was a blast, I loved it.  A good piece of music in 4 part harmony is enough to make me swoon.

When I opened my copies of Il Divo’s “The Promise” and “The Christmas Collection” I immediately swooned.  And no, I hadn’t even put the CD in the CD player yet.  Il Divo means “Divine Male” in Italian and divine they are…I’m just sayin’.  Being a Christmas music fanatic I immediately put the Christmas CD in and started listening.  It’s the kind of music that gives you chills it’s so good and so moving.  When we pulled up at the doctors office, Little AG was playing the drums on her legs and when I turned off the car, she looked at me and raised up both of her palms and shoulders like “Hey mom, where did it go?”

Their new CD, The Promise doesn’t disappoint either.  My ultimate favorites are “La Luna” and “Amazing Grace”.  Just like I said above, the music will give you chills.  So, for all of you singers out there (or singers at heart!) these are must-have CD’s for your collection.  We haven’t stopped listening since we got them!

    I actually have only ever heard one song from them and I think it was on Martha Stewart’s show and I just never got around to getting them although I too drooled over them :) Recently my dad told me he loves this group and would like me to hear them, says he thinks of how much of my life he has missed when he listens to it and now I am curious to hear them. Thanks for the chance :)
