    I’ll never forget this woman’s performance at the Atlanta Olympics. Even someone who is not into opera, could be captivated by this woman’s voice. I used to work for the phone company, and was lucky to have her as one of my customers. She was just as gracious and beautiful speaking to me over the phone.

      Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild, Erhöre einer Jungfrau Flehen, Aus diesem Felsen starr und wild, Soll mein Gebet zu dir hin wehen. Wir schlafen sicher bis zum Morgen, Ob Menschen noch so grausam sind. O Jungfrau, sieh der Jungfrau Sorgen, O Mutter, hör ein bittend Kind! Ave Maria!
      Ave Maria! Unbefleckt! Wenn wir auf diesen Fels hinsinken Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz bedeckt. Wird weich der harte Fels uns dünken. Du lächelst, Rosendüfte wehen. In dieser dumpfen Felsenkluft, O Mutter, höre Kindes Flehen, O Jungfrau, eine Jungfrau ruft! Ave Maria!
      Ave Maria! Reine Magd! Der Erde und der Luft Dämonen, Von deines Auges Huld verjagt, Sie können hier nicht bei uns wohnen, Wir woll'n uns still dem Schicksal beugen, Da uns dein heil'ger Trost anweht; Der Jungfrau wolle hold dich neigen, Dem Kind, das für den Vater fleht. Ave Maria!

      "For Your Deliverance
      Compassion brims in our hearts, vast
      Goodness incarnate, wrought in our noble forms
      Unwavering in front of the strongest of gales
      Remaining humble and calm when praised
      For the sake of the earth’s people, we came
      Yet most have forgotten they were once divine
      The Creator hath laid forth a way back to Heaven
      We herald the truth in these mad last days
      And for this, we are persecuted
      Danger shall not change our convictions
      True faith fulfilled shall deliver us from darkness
      2020
      ***
      Your State of Mind in Troubled Times
      Many wonder why this world is so troubled
      Our woes stem from the absence of goodness
      The godless shall perish at the End of Days
      Modern thought and ways lead only to the Devil’s side
      Man was not divinely made for such a dissolute life
      But to await the God-given chance of return to heaven
      The Creator turns the Falun out of immense grace
      You came not to this earth for worldly wants
      Distance yourself from China’s wicked Party
      and its mad last throes, to be spared disaster
      For surviving the judgment is all that matters
      2020
      ***
      Sweet Compassion
      Standing upon the street corner, worry fills my soul
      Catastrophe hangs overhead in these end times
      Little direction do people have, so occupied with life
      Dafa, the Great Way that saves, opens Heaven’s gates
      What the leaflet in my hand conveys is true
      I strive to help humanity at the Creator’s behest
      Most lives in this world are higher beings incarnate
      The doctrines of atheism and evolution bewitch men so
      Modern thought and ways do harm unto oneself
      These truthful words can bring health and salvation
      A glint of mercy, a whiff of compassion sweet
      in these troubled times
      September 27, 2020"

    In a review of a 1992 recital, Edward Rothstein of The New York Times likened her voice to a “grand mansion of sound.”
    “It defines an extraordinary space,” he wrote. “It has enormous dimensions,
    reaching backward and upward. It opens onto unexpected vistas. It
    contains sunlit rooms, narrow passageways, cavernous halls. Ms. Norman
    is the regal mistress of this domain, with a physical presence suited to
    her vocal expanse.”
