“Sacred Sounds: Music of the World, Songs of the Soul”
With Nancy Watters, founding director of Sacred World Song ™
To comprehend the holy and inspire the believer, the world’s religions have always incorporated music as a form of prayer.
This award-winning documentary takes an ecumenical look at a diverse selection of these traditions as performed at the Festival of World Sacred Music held in Fez, Morocco.
Along with commentary from festival director Dr. Faouzi Skali and music anthropologist David Lynch, the program features dynamic performances from the Christian, Islamic, and Jewish traditions, including medieval chants, Sufi blessing songs, American gospel, and Israeli popular ballads. (58 minutes)
The film will be followed by discussion and a sacred sound/chant demonstration by Nancy. www.sacredworldsong.com
