Pamela's Glory

When it comes to singing and songwriting Pamela Allenger is full of excitement and enthusiasm. At age nine she shows extraordinary talent as a singer/songwriter. Her first experience with professional singing, songwriting, and recording is to be documented through Creative Paths of the Arts blog site, as she records a song written for her by Tere Kipp entitled Pamela’s Glory. This project is a collaborative effort that involves musicians in both Florida and New Hampshire. Pamela and Tere are holding vocal recording sessions at Saturn Sound Studio in West Palm Beach, FL with instrumentation and additional children back-up vocals being recorded at Rocking Horse Studio in Pittsfield, New Hampshire. 

  Grandmothers Hand

Granddaughter come

Take hold of Grandmothers hand

While we dance in the circle

To the heartbeat of the earth

Granddaughter come

Take hold of Grandmothers hand

While we sing in harmony

The sweet song of sisterhood

Granddaughter come

Take hold of Grandmothers hand

While we laugh out loud

To the joys of being together

Granddaughter come

Take hold of Grandmothers hand ...

Pamela Allenger's Musical Beginnngs

When I first met Pamela it was not in regards to music but nonetheless within an hour’s time she ended up in my (home) studio entranced with creating songs and sounds. As an artist, it is easy to recognize creative qualities in other individuals and that is exactly what happened when Pamela entered into my world of music.

As a singer/songwriter I find creative inspiration to be a strange phenomenon. Sometimes you have a creative idea or a particular subject matter that you work on and other times creative impulse grabs a hold of you and your life comes to a complete halt until you allow it to manifest through your particular form of expression. 

For the past six months I have been actively involved in the creation of a Bluegrass/Country music project. Shortly after meeting Pamela, while driving across the state of Florida, this sweet gospel melody entered my mind. My first thought was …where did that come from, my second thought was… this is a song for Pamela, and my third thought was… thank-you! When I arrived home, I called Pamela’s mother Lisa and explained that I had a song that I would like Pamela to sing and asked if she would allow her daughter to be involved in my current recording project.

Today Pamela and I began the process of bringing this song to light. I will be posting our progress with this project on the Creative Paths of the Arts blog. Part of the vocal recordings will be done in West Palm Beach, Florida at Saturn Sound Studio with musicianship and additional vocals to be recorded at Rocking Horse Studio in Pittsfield, New Hampshire.

Making it All Come Alive

                     

 This project was designed as a tool for teaching the creative process in a workshop that I offer through Centre Resources, LLC  “Finding Your Voice and Being Heard” http://cntres.com/workshops.html.

It is a combination of original songs and stories written by my son and myself (Coby Carlucci and Tere Kipp). The intention of the project was to showcase various types of music genres and writing style. The entire CD is available for your listening pleasure on the Creative Paths of the Arts blog playlist. Note: The song Dear Jesus was co- written by Tere Kipp and Coby Carlucci.

During the course of the project an array of musicians and studio engineers from up and down the east coast participated in the project. Special thanks to all of those creative individuals who collectively brought this project to light:

Ellsworth, New Hampshire

Where mountain spells are cast upon a rainbow’s promise

I plant my soul in the richness of natural existence

Where wise old trees come alive to dance in a full moon’s light

I sing a song of bliss

Where natures four seasons encounter earth’s four directions

I become one with all the kingdoms

Where brothers and sisters alike equal family and friends forever

I give the bond of true love

Where motto befalls salutations that suggest live free or die

I fly my inner flag of freedom

When home is where the heart is

I am undoubtedly found… in New Hampshire!
