Sarah West-The Voice of Eternity
.:.
"Sarah West is one of those truly rare phenomena that Divine Providence elects as a pontifex, or bridge, to span the gap between actuality and possibilty, between what humankind believes to be true and what is sensed intuitively to be true.
This is no small matter. The greatest minds of every culture and of every age unanimously speak of another world, that to truly live is to surpass oneself, folding back to that astonishing part of us that partakes of this still point.
Sarah West gives audible life to this stillness, this possibility, both through her singing and speech. As a result, she is able to touch the deepest recesses of the heart, moving them into alignment with the world behind appearances, the world, which the greater part of humanity yearns for now as never before.
Stated differently, Sarah West is about that uncommon depth, the stuff of genius which we all recognize immediately, that comes along in a rarefied embodiment to remind us all what this life is and what it is for.
As a concert veteran of some forty years, and as someone who, himself, has performed with some of the very greatest musicians in the world, I can say without qualification that Sarah West is in a class by herself, embodying ideals both musically and personally that situate her as a harbinger of the kind artist this planet of our demands. Fortunate indeed are those, like myself, who, having heard, knew, and having known, were forever changed. This is Ms. West's legacy, her gift to the people of the Earth."

"There is no doubt in my mind that Sarah West has been chosen to bring through the voice of the celestial realm and she does it with such an incredibly unforgettable presence and ease that is absolutely mesmerizing!!"
- Sheridan Phyll Marie
"She shimmered ethereal, like an apparition of a divine form. Her voice, a sine wave bridging manifest creation with angelic realms, celestial light. We sat transported, transfigured, by her hymns, poetry and divine dance of ecstasy...
"Sarah's voice seems to pick up where choir-like voices echoing of vaulted stone cathedral walls, leave off. Her tones seemed to me to follow from the lineage of Gregorian chant, but somehow they are just more pure, and I felt as if I was hearing sounds from transcendent worlds that could only be heard in places where the vibrational quality of the audience permitted divine expression on earth."
- Stephen Harper, Review

Her Celestial Singing is of its own genre, ancient yet purely unique, imbedded in every ancient tradition yet completely new, primordial yet futuristic, powerfully grounded yet inextricably celestial, utterly unearthly yet so essential to this existence. It is said as it echoes it renews, it reinvigorates and transforms through waves of heavenly vibration the purpose of the Cloisters, the Gregorian harmonics, like that of Hildegard von Bingen, the chanting of the eastern monks' phenomenon of tri-toning, the modern Enya, and Native American ceremonies and more, which emanate throughout her Mystical Celestial Operas. It has even been said that she echoes the resonance of the Tibetan Crystal Bowls, a deep consistent tone created in this ancient way for profound spiritual attunement.
