Product details
This is the central issue of my music: its meditative and
ecstatic quality. It is the result of uniting prayer with dance,
sacred with secular, and the human with the Divine. - Christian
Heim
A past pupil of Peter Sculthorpe and New York maestro Giampaolo
Bracali, composer / music therapist Christian Heim believes that
folk music, art music and chant can communicate the
incomprehensible.

Newcastle, Heim's debut Move CD features Nicholas Routley directing
