very beautiful, especially "Ya Baha'ul'Abha"

[Missing2dimensions]

Here is a holy and historica event that too place in time dimension. Abdu'l-Baha stated in one His Quote "time is constant but it does not exist like direction of east, west. Einstien 4 weeks before his own death in a letter on the death of his close friend Michael Besso wrote that past present future is illusion. I invite you to have a look at this video. "The link between soul, mind, body & The Baha'i Study Circles of unity.wmv"

[dawnbreaker1844]

Thank you for this wonderful gift! Are there plans for a cd we can buy?

[macdaddyo2]

i wonder whats the name of the song in the begining

[pastelpat9]

It is an invocation to God and means "O Thou

Glory of the All Glorious" The name of it is (excuse my spelling) Ya Baha u  Abha.

Baha means Glory, Light or Splendor You can call on God with many different names...this is a wonderful way to call upon God.

[macdaddyo2]

oh thank you for the name but i wanted to know the song when the video berly starts the voice sounds spiritual thats the one i wanted to know ???

[picklesforall]

The song at the very very beginning is "Ya Baha'ul'Abha", as stated above. It was sung by a counter-tenor (a male alto) who happens to be my husband, George Branyan!

Always singing in the choir it is nice to see and hear what it was like as the audience. It would be fun to see recordings of us out on the steps again too. Anyone have that to share?

[vwsmusic]

That might possibly be on someone's Facebook page - maybe Van Gilmer's, but I'm not sure.

[Septagon47]

Back in '82, my wife and I sang at this House of Worship - didn't do anywhere near as great!

[marco1963]

So beautiful!! I had the music on my computer while working when one of the employees knocked on my door asking if I was listening to choir music? She said the sound was going into her office through the AC vent and she felt like the angels were calling on her!!

Kudos to the organizers and the Choir members...

[OnTheChoppingBlog]
