Spiritual Songs

spiritual songs,
that are easy to learn –
who have touched our hearts again and again

When I sing, I find myself again. Singing makes me whole. I can sing and express everything: joy, praise, gratitude, pain, the will to live, and the certainty that there is still an energy, an atmosphere, that looks at me lovingly. Singing, whether right or wrong, gives me strength.

Songs by specific composers

Taizé songs

Taizé songs have accompanied people for years. I'm particularly touched by this: I am safe with God, the most famous is certainly Laudate omnes gentes. The title layer appearing on the homepage and on other pages was also borrowed from a song: "To connect earth and heaven, you are on this world, oh man. To connect earth and heaven – Hallelujah .." The melody corresponds to the "Confitemini Domino“, a song from Taizé.
