► Change starts within each of us. In this new world collaboration (virtual choir & string ensemble) 45 singers and instrumentalists from 17 countries and territories join to spread this message of love and hope with humanity. Drawing from the writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá on the centenary of His passing, these words resonate as a timeless, yet much needed truth:
“If you desire with all your heart, friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive, will spread; it will become the desire of others, growing stronger and stronger, until it reaches the minds of all men.
Do not despair! Work steadily. Sincerity and love will conquer hate.”
My endless gratitude to all those who graciously dedicated their time and energy to see this project through, I am eternally grateful.

Truly Motivated....Such a Heart Warming Composition...Great Music...
It felt like I was at a concert! Beautiful!
I am so deeply proud to have been even a very small part of this project. It is truly remarkable on several levels. The words themselves are, of course, quite remarkable, with the profoundly inspirational faith and hope they provide.The music is remarkable, like a profound whisper of sweet love, evoking tears of joy, the sort of music that is perfect for meditation. The joining of those words will this music is remarkable. That Ali Youssefi has has succeeded in marshalling such a wide array of human musical resources is remarkable. That he has succeeded in putting it all together into such a beautiful and satisfying result is remarkable. Thank you, Ali, for this precious gift to the world.
Thank you for your sweet words, Paul ☺️🙏🏽 I'm very happy you could join us and add your beautiful bass voice. This project would not have been possible without all the wonderful participants!
@@AliYoussefiMusic 😁
Il send it to all my beloved friends all over the world. From R of Congo in Pointe Noire
Transcendent! And world embracing, truly a work of art causing a wave of delight In spiritual realms.
So glad you liked it, thank you for those very sweet words ♥️🙏🏽
This is so beautiful so ethereal and holy to know that for every situation Abdul Baha has spoken of it. Being a time of hardship right now with Covid and unrest in the US and the world this piece of music gives me peace and joy for the wisdom imparted. Thank you for recording this beautiful message.
Thank you so much, Luella. I completely agree, it's a much needed message in the world right now. So glad you enjoyed it ☺️🙏🏽
@@AliYoussefiMusic this piece of music is so much more than enjoyment. This piece of music is from the writings of Abdul Baha. It is sacred and the music is heavenly lifting up to the atmosphere of holiness (a phrase from the writings used in I think was from “We All Live InThe Year of Sunday” which is a song by Seales and Croft. I go way back. When I look back at that era of music it is unbelievable that that song and other songs they recorded were played on the radio. Abdul Baha speaks about putting the writings to music. I mean no offense to your choice of word enjoyment but this piece of music is sacred. I am looking forward to more choir music you might choose to record although I love every song you have made.

“Si deseas con todo tu corazón, la amistad con todas las razas de la tierra, tu pensamiento, espiritual y positivo, se extenderá; se convertirá en el deseo de los demás, haciéndose cada vez más fuerte, hasta que llegue a la mente de todos los hombres.
¡No se desesperen! Trabaja de manera constante. La sinceridad y el amor vencerán al odio."
Muchas gracias, Karina! Y gracias por compartir la cita en español :) Un abrazo a ti y a la familia!

As I listen, I feel the waves spreading out with great force and wrapping themselves around the whole world! What a wonderful gift you have given us Abdu'l-Baha' and you, Ali! Thank you so much! I hope this will be played at every up-coming conference around the world! Can you imagine the power it will release!!!!
You have beautifully put into words what we tried to create musically to accompany that inspiring quote. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I would not be happier than to have this be sung worldwide! 🙌🎶
@@AliYoussefiMusic Have you reached out to the World Centre to suggest that?! This would be a lovely song and video to project for all the conferences at the outset. It truly speaks to our whole goal as Bahá'ís!
Beautiful! It makes me miss being in a choir. ❤️

Thank you so much for this beautiful message like I said another times that I've listened to your music and I save every single one that hits home onto my playlist. We are truly in a privilege time and I cannot wait to make a rap that you incorporate into a song and I will do it freely I don't want a damn thing for it because it you guys are awesome I'm not the best right now but I will be the mountains making sure that I can do this harder than anyone ever has with prayer especially with rap. I believe wholeheartedly in the messages that you put this on I believe in wholeheartedly and the Himalayan way I just pray in a Christian way and the Himalayan way and a native way and a Scottish way.
