notes

A skeptical college guidance counselor once asked me what I planned to do with a major in music and languages. .. "Sing in French?" Not a bad idea! This one is for him, wherever he is. Actually, my French Swiss mother came to the states as a young woman. Growing up I spent many hours sifting around the kitchen listening to her, my aunt and grandmother as French sounds rolled off their tongues. Gorgeous. My high school French introduced me to the music of Edith Piaf and I was hooked. Several trips to Paris over the years to visit my grandmother further embedded the sounds of France in my psyche. Texas is my home and where my music originates. Thus, TEXAFRANCE blends these two very special influences. I hope these songs bring you as much pleasure as they have brought to me. Enjoy! Christine

  • Great love songs
    author: Jacki K

    We've been looking for songs to play at our wedding reception for American and French family members and absolutely PERFECT wedding songs from this CD are Let it Be Me and La Lumiere de L'Amour. There are also a few upbeat songs that remind our French relatives of music they danced to growing up, like Personne Ne Two Step Comme Toi. She has a pretty voice and sings in French perfectly.

  • Love Is Here To Stay

    Hymne a L'amour: Time Travel at warp speed is made a reality in this timeless, lovely classic presented by the lovely voice of Christine Albert and her accompaniment. It was like being on the Left Bank, Paris, and then being enchanted by Edit Piaf over a glass of wine and obscene servings of cheese fondue on the Champs Élysées. Thanks for the memories.
