This saying is surely true, one has only to \r\nlook at the growing a-cappella and choir scene to see that, \r\nand it is borne out again in the successful concept developed by Helge Burggrabe. In Hagios he invites listeners to be at home with themselves and slip out of the stress of \r\neveryday life. There are songs that the audience can sing \r\nalong to, and they transform the hall into a great auditorium \r\n- altogether in the Taize tradition. Sold-out concerts prove \r\nthat this concept chimes with the zeitgeist. Together with \r\nthe Elbcanto vocal ensemble, pianist Christof Fankhauser \r\nand a string ensemble, he now presents his second album: \r\nHagios II - Songs of Devotion and Meditation. For song-loving, spiritual people in search of peace, and for all those \r\nwho simply want to retreat from everyday life and unwind.\r\n\"As far back as I can remember, I hear the voice of my mother. Her bedtime songs, which sent me to sleep at night, \r\nwere a comfort to me, they were the sound of safety,\" Burggrabe recalls. In Hagios II he continues his search for the \r\ninvigorating power of song. He discovers melodies that are \r\nhundreds of years old. He comes across works from monastic cultures of all faiths, songs of those in search of peace and stillness, with their roots in ancient Jewish music. Communal singing - also known as \"psalmody\" - is to be found in Gregorian chant, in the Orthodox liturgy, in Taize songs and sacred songs of the present day. Hymns and prayers in music were always seen as healing and calming. Helge Burggrabe records all this and opens a space that invites the weary and troubled to reflect, to dream, to rest.\r\nThe album covers a wide musical range. From peaceful, meditative pieces to lively songs of joy, Helge Burggrabe conveys inner peace, security and positive energy. Choral singing, piano and string ensemble are enhanced by the timbres of flute, accordion and organ, expanding the warm and heartfelt tone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 885470010656 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New CD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Berlin Classics \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 11.07.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798804582621,"sku":"885470010656","price":138.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4454903-3445279.jpg?v=1758307733","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/elbcanto-hagios-ii-gesange-zur-andacht-und-meditation","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
