“Light of Unity” is a song based on a passage from the Writings of Baha’u’llah. It was performed by the mass choir at the 2023 Australian Baha’i Choral Festival in October. The Baha’i Choral Festival attracts participants from across Australia to sing in the Sydney Baha’i Temple. They perform sacred a cappella music in a variety of styles. Interspersed between the songs are prayers and readings from the world’s major religions.
The words of Baha’u’llah sung are:
So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.
This song was composed Pierre Weber and it was conducted by Lorraine Manifold.
This year, with the help of Dusk Media, we got a look backstage at what goes into the making of the choral festival, the stories of the singers, and the love and heart poured into the process.
You can find all the songs recorded from this year’s choral festival on their YouTube channel.
