Hold on (trad.)
Watch the full program: goo.gl/ei6PFy
Spirits of Music is an unusual musical journey through the centuries, with stops on all continents. Inspired by their creators' different faiths, the works on the program have a strong religious background and are moving examples of the emotional power and effect of music. Internationally renowned soloists and ensembles as Bobby McFerrin (a ten-time Grammy Award winner, he is one of the world’s best-known vocal innovators and improvisers, a worldrenowned classical conductor), Nigel Kennedy (one of the world’s leading violin virtuosos), Sibylla Rubens (has emerged as one of the most compelling lyric sopranos of her day) or the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig will perform popular works from the European music tradition, encompassing Bach, Mozart and Verdi. Many magnificent examples of religious music come from artists as Kroke (playing and composing with the realm of authentic Jewish music), the Kuumba Singers (dedicated to the expression of black creativity and spirituality through song), Mari Boine (one of the most impressive folk artists of contemporary time), the Bulgarian Voices Angelite (24 women whose hypnotic chant circles the globe), Vocal Sampling (a Cuban six-man a cappella group which has been described as one of the wonders of the musical world) and the the Ensemble Al-Kindi (is currently rated among the best formations devoted to classical Arab music). With the inclusion of world music, the program will achieve a highly suspenseful juxtaposition of European and non-European music.

she loved this song

[@alexbrooks5676]

This song is a bit strange because minor notes are usually ingrained in us as being negative. This gives me a sense of safety, but it's also a haunting song.

[@MrAllismusic]

It seems to contain both the minor third and the natural third.

[@hampurista]

Giving me peace in mind. Whish I had been there.

[@akwaabainnovation]

Haunting!

[@PaulUbanaJones]

J.S.Bach. worked in Leipzig and from there came some of his best and timeless works.And here today is also more great music.A different genre! from a different ethnic well of creativity but an equally resounding and rejoicing statement of 'hope and love'.I love the camera when it pans over the people, transfixed in momentary peace.Germans.French.Brits.Refugees.a brotherhood of man.brought together for the oneness of collective experience.

[@PaulUbanaJones]

Still sounds beautiful. Never give up in life.'cos everything will be alright.x

[@hampurista]

Thanks !!!! For your tip. Google corrections ... 🙄

[@Meh.....Mow.....]

[@MaestroECMcCloud]

An audience full of white folks. I wonder how many of them can understand the hope expressed in this song despite all that many of them have done and continue to do towards people of color in America and worldwide.

[@lynchmobtv2530]

Colour means fuck all with this song life is hard enough it gives belief and a sense of hope that it will be alright don't bring race into to this

[@sikequan4542]

I close my eyes and imagine a slave ship crossing the Atlantic 400 years ago. My ears hear and my DNA feels these sounds coming out of its bowels.
