Sometimes we realise that God is in every person's heart. Sometimes we feel that this world is a divine place. Sometimes we realise that life is a precious gift.
There are certain kinds of music that can heal our souls. The album 'Blessed are the Pure of Heart' (russian church singing by children's choir of the Holy Trinity Church of the Patriarchale Resedence in Sviblovo, Moscow) is definitely one of rare examples of music for every human being. If you do not like church music (honestly, before listening to this album I thought I don't like it at all) you'll be surprised with beauty and pureness of church chants and with angel-like sound of children's voices. If you like this kind of music, you'll probably be even more impressed with the striking combination of sincerity and professionalism of this children's choir. This album shows the development of the Russian church singing tradition fron ancient chants to Musorgsky's and Rakhmaninov's works. More than that, it gives us a rare opportunity to realise that God is in every person's heart. That this world is a divine place. That life is a precious gift.
