The Fes Festival of World Sacred Music in Fes, Morocco, is the point of convergence for the planet's most heartfelt and exalted sacred music. Each year, the religious world's most celebrated performers come together in this ancient city to extol the divine in song, music, and dance.
B'ismillah (in the name of God) was recorded live at the second Fes Festival. Selections include:
- Islamic songs
- Christian prayers
- Sufi chants
- ecstatic Berber dances
Their shared passion for the music in the sacred and the sacred in music echoes a longing buried deep in every human heart: a longing for spiritual unity that transcends artificial boundaries of nationality, religion, and time.
I was especially moved by the opening Call to Prayer with the Radio-Television Symphony Orchestra of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Between orchestra and caller there was such a heartfelt interplay, such an expression of joyful longing that I found myself both smiling and crying by its end. The Sufi chants brought me to my feet to dance; other pieces evoked quiet reflection, gratitude and a deep longing to reach beyond the superficial and into the real. We live in a very beautiful world.
