“A Christmas Gift” is a Collection of Christmas Standards and Songs of
FaithNew York vocalist, actor Dick Pyatt and
DPP Productions have released a new compact disc, entitled “A Christmas Gift,”
that contains works by noted composers including Irving Berlin, Sammy Cahn, and
Kurt Weill. Pyatt includes in this collection traditional Christmas favorites
such as Oh Christmas Tree, White Christmas, and Christmas Waltz. Expanding the
spirit of Christmas to go beyond the usual commercial CD, Pyatt includes songs
of deep faith such as I Believe, Ave Maria, and Bless This House.A
dramatic and emotional rendering of two traditional songs of the Jewish faith,
Eli, Eli and Kol Nidre, are a highlight on the CD as they are seldom performed
in a secular music environment “I took time to carefully select songs that would
be appropriate to the season and to the need for feelings that inspire and give
deeper meaning to our lives.” I find it is difficult to locate new music for
vocalists today that evoke the same quality and feelings as those of the
masters,. said Pyatt.In this context, one of the delights included on
the CD is composer Al Petrone’s A Christmas Gift recorded a few years ago by
among others, Julius La Rosa . His writing style fits in with the classic
standards but with an unmistakable contemporary sound. Pyatt performs each song
with exquisite tone and nuance with a wide vocal range, and an artistic
awareness for the lyrical message and distinct need required for the variety of
songs selected. The music arranged and produced by the talented musician Robin
Foreman. A native New Yorker splitting time in Florida, Pyatt has been a
favorite radio personality for over 20 years in New York City as producer and
director of programming for WNyC-AM-FM radio and host of a weekly radio feature
at WFAS in Westchester.. On stage, he has directed Susan Strasberg and Ruth
Warrick in classic drama. As a writer, he has published three books on health
and medical advances. He has also been on the faculty of numerous colleges in
New York including Pace University, Elizabeth Seton College and Iona College in
New York teaching speech and media.His artistic style and rich baritone
voice has been described by audiences as unique and a distinctly different sound
in the popular music scene but reminiscent of the panorama of great vocalists
that included the voices of Dick Haymes, Vic Damone, and of course, Frank
Sinatra.Contact Info:Listen to excerpts of all songs: DPP ProductionsNew York, 212-502-0322
