REVIEWS of 2002 CD RELEASE "POWER IN HIS TOUCH"
2002 Pearl Award
Best New Holiday Recording
"Good Tidings"
"Power in His Touch is a collection that offers very real feeling...The songs are filled with powerful messages that move and inspire. George Dyer is particularly powerful on "My Peace" and "Gethsemane. Kaily Ann Nielsen adds a sweet sincerity to "Through the Eyes of a Child," which also features a children''s choir. Annelise LeCheminant''s "Mary''s Lullaby: Sleep My Child," is equally tender. Three stars!"
Carma Wadley, Senior Writer, Deseret News
"I get a lot of CD''s that come my way, and I have to say Power in His Touch is in the top one percent. Colette Call is a major talent! This is excellent writing and I''m really impressed with her ability to compose and arrange. I just can''t believe the quality of this product...It''s a wonderful CD. It''s very uplifting and has a sweet peaceful feeling to it. There''s magic in it - there''s magic in this whole CD. I really can''t say enough about this new CD Power in His Touch."
Wanda Lindstrom, KOZY 106.5 "Sounds of the Sabbath"
"Power in His Touch by Colette Call is a wonderful tribute to our Savior. The music is incredibly moving and only makes me yearn to see the eventual stage presentation."
Kurt Bestor, Award-winning composer/pianist
"I get to hear most of the music that comes out, and I can honestly say that it has been a long time since I''ve been moved by a new piece of music like I was when I listened to Colette''s song, "Gethsemane."
Michael R. Hicks, Award-winning composer
"Power in His Touch is a thoughtful approach to a very tender subject. Colette''s music is a beautiful reflection of her spirit."
Lex de Azevedo, Award-winning composer

REVIEWS FROM THE WORLD PREMIERE OF "POWER IN HIS TOUCH"
(Over 1800 attended)
Headline - Talent impressive in Easter musical!
"The quality of writing, the strength of direction and the talent of the performers were all in place when the curtain went up for (the world premiere of) ''Power in His Touch.'' Call''s musical numbers move the show along nicely...some of her most superb numbers (most notably "Who is This Man") emerge as richly moving musical narratives that stand as well on their own as individual songs as they do as plot-propelling devices. Which means Call''s CD is as much worth purchasing as a ticket to the show."
BACKGROUND OF THE ALBUM "POWER IN HIS TOUCH"
The songs on this album are highlights from "Power in His Touch", a staged musical which had it''s world premiere this past Easter (March 2005). Over 1800 people attended the five-night run, which sold out through word of mouth advertising and positive press reviews the last two nights. The cast received a standing ovation at every performance.
The idea of the CD "Highlights from Power in His Touch" is not necessarily to reveal the plot, but to introduce some of the inspirational songs from the musical. The style of each song varies dramatically as the setting alternates between modern times and New Testament times.
Two of the most compelling characters in "Power in His Touch" are Judas Iscariot and the woman taken in adultery. Judas'' betrayal of the Lord is one of the most tragic stories in history. While Judas'' actions can never be condoned or justified, I find him to be a truly sympathetic character. The fact that he was a disciple of the Savior for so many years is evidence that he felt love for Jesus Christ. Judas was so overwhelmed with guilt and remorse after his betrayal that he took his own life. To me, his story is the story of someone who misunderstood Christ and his mission on this earth. It is a story of a man who allowed love and faith to be overcome by darkness, power and greed.
I''ve always felt that Christ''s mercy toward the woman taken in adultery is one of the most poignant examples of the Savior''s compassion. While no one knows the circumstances that led this woman to be found in her situation, one can imagine that she faced difficulties and crossroads in her life as each of us does. I find it easy to believe that she became a follower of Christ after she tasted of His love and mercy. The song "Who is this Man" is a glimpse into her character and what she might have felt after her experience with the Savior.
