Lytingale (Lois Henrickson)

A prolific songwriter (about 350+ songs - I stopped counting!) and versatile musician (vocals, keyboards, guitar, flute, alto flute, dulcimer, hand drums, and awesome kazoo), "Lyte" has 3 albums (Home To My Heart on CD & Cassette, and Altar of Love and Inspirations on Cassette) as well as sheet music available from EnLyteN. She is also the author of a workshop and book on reshaping and updating church music called Growing Your Church Music Program

Lois and Grandpa Henrickson

She has used her clear soprano voice for all styles of music, from rock to opera, blues & jazz to musical comedy.  

Born in Farmington, Connecticut, she took voice lessons at Hartt School of Music, performed in school concerts and shows, and did roles for Myth Farmington community theater.  

As a freshman at Ithaca College, she was featured in their Opera Workshop.  She transferred to the University of Connecticut where she graduated summa cum laude, University Scholar with a major in Music Education (voice)... singing Mozart for classes, and Grace Slick with a rock band on weekends.  In Richmond VA and Washington DC she performed in a folk duo called Crystal Blue Breeze.

Lyte has performed roles in musical theater at Asheville Community Theater, and has sung as soloist with The Asheville Choral Society, the North Carolina Symphony, and The Johnson City (TN) Symphony. 

She currently composes, accompanies, and sings with Womansong, Asheville's oldest and largest women's community chorus. (Two of her original songs appear on their CD "Everybody Got Her Own.")

Lois in pink sweater Lyte's songs are widely used throughout Unity, and have been published in a Unity hymnal ("I Am Love") and the Association of Unity Churches'  Songs From A World Awakening, Volume I ("Hold Me In Your Arms, Mother Earth," "I Open My Life," and "Spirit's Journey"). "We Are All Friends Here" is used in many Unity churches, and "The Greatest Gift" is also sung in several churches of other denominations.
