SEASONAL SONG OF THE YEAR
"In His Presence...the Gift of Christmas"
Friends,
You can instantly download below or listen to full tracks of the Christmas CD and purchase on the "buy" page. Thanks for you support!
"The lovely voice of Catholic music artist Trish Foti Genco breathes with freshness, intimacy, and spirit... The blend of musical instruments is simplistic, giving one time to breathe in, taste, and see - yes even visualize the picture she is painting in spirit.... The piano work in this song, just as many on the new disc, begins solemnly, then slowly builds to a moving channel of emotions, flowing ever so kindly, answering the voice. Dreux Montegut’s musical work must be applauded...I must suggest if your parish, organization, or group is looking for an exceptionally talented Catholic artist to lead and inspire your congregation in Holy Mass, or simply perform at your next venue, consider Trish Foti Genco, and be moved." Grapevine Magazine
