In this song we revive the spirit which is floating through the ancient masonries of the "Dom of Ratzeburg" since nearly a thousand years.

We let rise up our ancestors: All fates of toil, love and suffering in the past centuries will occupy our mind for a moment. The dark corridors and vaults breathe the spirit of ancient times and in our song the figures of past generations stride lively through the rows of seats and mutter latin formulars.

So: Allow yourself 4 minutes + increase the browser size + push up the volume level.

Have you ever walked through a building which was nearly 1000 years old? One of the earliest of such old buildings is the "Dom of Ratzeburg".

the dom of ratzeburg

It is an old cathedral, which was built in the year 1154, and it is one of the oldest cathedrals that still exist. The special Romanic style is characterized by its tight narrowness and darkness giving a morbid grim spirituality. You have the feeling that every brick reveals a glance at the time of the middle age in the 12th century. Poverty, misery, superstition, clerical striving for power and scholastic mythical muttering are looking down at you between the vaults, arches and bays of the cathedral.

organ of the dom of ratzeburg

The church organ is a newer one of course. It was built in 1978. Its sound floods the whole body of the old masonries with the ancient haunting spirit.
