Rachel Bagby: News

My new CD, Reach Across the Lines, is hot off the burner with an upbeat collection of spirited, powerful, and invoking songs in the rhythms of peace.

A porion of the proceeds from each sale of Reach Across the Lines will be donated to the Let Peace Live Campaign to support Lebanese, Iraqi and Israeli peace activists.

Help me help the world by buying Reach Across the Lines for a person or organization that is passionate about facilitating peace in the world.

Inspired by the fragile cease-fire in Lebanon to release the CD, I am a woman on a mission to ensure that anyone in the position of facilitating conversations for peace and reconciliation has a copy to encourage them to “keep on reaching”: activists, philanthropists, students, parents, teachers, artists, community leaders, gang leaders, political leaders, diversity consultants, human resource directors, religious leaders, law enforcement professionals, workshop facilitators, ambassadors, celebrities, and YOU!

As you listen to samples of Reach Across the Lines on this website, imagine all the ways you can use it to set the right tone in relationships, meetings and gatherings.

Keep on reaching!

You are what you breathe. Practice being free out loud by singing along as you truly listen to--make that INHALE--the lyrics and rhythms of Reach Across the Lines on my new, Extended Play (EP) CD of the same title. Official Release Date: August 22nd.

The vibe of Reach Across the Lines was specifically designed to help you viscerally discover how to free yourself from the internalized dynamics of seemingly eternal conflicts plaguing the world.

A portion of the profits from this project will support youth's and women's peace-making and humanitarian efforts in the Middle East.

We who are devoted to being the changes we long to see on Earth have to "keep on reaching" across the lines of conditioned responses to differences, befuddled communications from our so-called leaders, and all the freedom-limiting internal "lines" we repeat to ourselves.

REACH ACROSS THE LINES to other, more empowering possibilities breath-by-breath.

Breathing Music will soon be just a breath (make that a click) away!

REACH ACROSS THE LINES will be available digitally within the week. Sign up for our email list with the note "ReachXL" in the comment box and you'll receive a free preview of either an SATB or SSAA score as soon as they're available.

In fact, we're in the process of transforming our entire catalog of transformative choral music into an on-line resource complete with free downloads of sample pre- and post concert community building programs.

Stay tuned for updates!
