Saint Therese of Lisieux: A Gateway

 Natasha St. Pier singing Therese's poem "Jeter les fleurs" ("To scatter flowers") in the Basilica of St. Therese at Lisieux.

On April 22, 2013 the album "Vivre d'Amour," the poems of St. Therese of Lisieux set to music by Gregoire, will be released in France. 

"Vivre d'Amour is a bold and singular project.  It is also a project surprisingly created by the meeting of talents.  And it is above all an encounter between a composer, Gregoire, and the poems written at the end of the 19th century by St. Therese of Lisieux, a Carmelite with an extraordinary destiny who died of tuberculosis in 1897 when she was only 24 years old.  As a variation to the infinite that symbolizes Love, Therese's "Living on Love" is also an unusual project because of its collective dimension.  Several artists accompany the singer Natasha St.-Pier on this album: Anggun on the first single "Vivre d'Amour" ("Living on Love"), Sonia Lacen on "Mes Armes" ("My Weapons'), Elisa Tovatoi on "Rapelle-toi" ("Remember"), and many other surprises. 

The members of the Collective are:  Natasha St-Pier, Anggun, Elisa Tovati, Sonia Lacen, The Stentors Gregory Turpin, Bishop di Falco Léandri, Michael Lonsdale, The Little Singers of the Wooden Cross, and Gregory.
