Nana Mouskouri: Sacred And Spiritual

"Music is fundamentally sacred for me, because it is above everything and unites humanity. It is a magical thread between heaven and earth, it breaks free of epochs, cultures and languages. But the songs you will hear here are even more sacred than all the others. They draw from the wellspring of our humanity and express the full range of our emotions: darkening with anger or pain, brightening with joy, and always full of hope. They are prayers of universal scope, echoing in every heart and soul. No matter what God one believes in, they offer us the protection we hope for and are a constant support when our lives falter. They are both guides to hope for better days and paths of wisdom that lead us to love, harmony, and hope, which is what we all strive for. When André Chapelle suggested these sacred songs to me, I felt like I was coming back to the source - a fresh and inexhaustible spring. All these musical inspirations without any limit express in a perfect harmony the always same need: namely, to find faith and live in peace."
