Catholic artist Aaron Thompson invites fallen-away Catholics home with new CD "10,000 Angels."

February 17, 2009 - 1:10 PST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEDIA ADVISORY

FRANKLIN PARK, IL (FEBRUARY 17, 2008) - Musical artist, husband, and father Aaron Thompson has released his newest recording "10,000 Angels" with World Library Publications (www.wlpmusic.com.) This project has been long in the making as Aaron has reflected over the years as a church music director, composer, and family man, mixing the complexities of ministry and family life.

As a music minister, Thompson has personally witnessed the power of music in the lives of spiritual seekers working through concepts of redemption and mercy, humility and courage. He hopes that this new CD will reach out especially to all those who have wandered away from the Church and wish to find a way home. His heartfelt themes and upbeat praise tunes all point to the glory of God and the warmth of forgiveness, healing, and redemption that God offers.

As an African-American father of four, ages 15, 9, 4, and 3, Aaron has been inspired by his experiences of raising children with his wife Marian in this age of media, fast-paced lifestyles, soccer, and Barbie dolls. "Juggling work in the Church and family responsibilities is a challenge," says Aaron "...and I can really relate to what families are dealing with in their lives." He wrote a special song for his daughter titled "Wings" that will bring a tear to the eye of every daddy who has experienced the joy of his little girl. He hopes that his music will bring families together to celebrate the goodness of God in their lives.

Aaron grew up in Glencoe,Illinois, as a member of the few black families living in the area. His father was a lawyer and his mother a teacher. His early Catholic formation was at Sacred Heart Church where his mom also sang in the choir. He excelled in music as a trumpet player and was granted a full performance scholarship at Northern Arizona University. He lived in Phoenix directing parish music ministry for several years and recently moved to Madison,WI, to work as the Director of Music at St.Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

Aaron's music is published by World Library Publications and is found in hymnals across the country. This new CD also includes some of his top pieces including, "Rise Up in Splendor," "Blessed One," and "Tree of Life." Aaron also does a stupendous cover of "Indescribable" written by Chris Tomlin.

10,000 Angels,WLP product #008163, ISBN #978-158459-4246 is now available through World Library Publications (www.wlpmusic.com ) or call toll-free at 1.800.566.6150. Soundclips are available on the product page. In digital format, it can be downloaded from iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, and several other digital stores. The CD is also available to the trade through Ingram/Spring Arbor Distributors.
