All Souls’ Day, a day of prayer and remembrance for the souls of those who have died, is commemorated on November 2. Intended as a series of invocations for all the souls that left this world, Georg Jacobi wrote the words and Schubert immortalized the music in his Litany for the Feast of All Souls (original: Litanei auf das Fest Aller Seelen) in which each verse concludes with: “All Souls Rest in Peace”. Just like Caccini’s Ave Maria and Franck’s Panis Angelicus, this song has traveled the world with me, its most memorable performance at the remote mission of San Borja, in the middle of the Sonoran desert in Mexico’s Baja California. It was first released on my album Musica Sacra in a version for voice (sung in German) and piano, and now in an arrangement by yours truly.

This famous Argentine song by Astor Piazzolla (words by Horacio Ferrer) is based on a Chiquilín (‘little one’) Piazzolla and Ferrer knew in real life; a poor 11-year-old named Pablo who spends his nights alone on the streets of Buenos Aires selling flowers to patrons of the theater district’s restaurants and cafés, including one by the name of Bachín. Voice and arrangement by Christel Veraart

Ice, from the award winning album Polar Suite by Christel Veraart. - Impetuous rhythmical patterns reflect the impermanence of ice, of life in the Arctic, thus creating an atmosphere of transience that excludes all permanence.

Throughout ancient history, the shortest day referred to as Winter Solstice has been a catalyst for joyous celebrations and meaningful rituals across diverse cultures globally. Composed while living in Alaska, Winter Solstice featured in my album Polar Suite, received an artist award from the prestigious Rasmuson Foundation. As of now, “Winter Solstice” has garnered 15,000 views on YouTube and over 13,000 plays on SoundCloud. My music encapsulates the profound essence of winter, a season enveloped in darkness that prompts introspection into our own existence. The journey of a lonesome cello, which, while surrendering to the elements of the Arctic winter, serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined landscape and emotion are.Winter Solstice captures the intensity of winter, when days are cloaked in darkness and we are inclined to reflect upon our lives. The journey of a lonesome cello who, while surrendering to the elements of the Arctic winter, is reminded of how much landscape and emotion are intertwined.

 "Lotus Dreams" echoes the soaring harmonies of her imagination. The erhu — a bowed, two-stringed Chinese fiddle — sings its soulful song throughout. Alternating between tender, sonorous, and stirring, this composition takes us to a place of calm and tranquility — a place where we might dream of lotus flowers

Review by BT Fasmer: "... Taygete, the opening piece, is named after one of the brightest stars in the Pleiades cluster – one of the famous Seven Sisters. Old fans of Veraart will feel right at home, while newcomers will be amazed by her beautiful and expressive vocals. The echo makes the soundscape massive; the singing seems to come from lightyears away. Right away you will also notice the impressive sound design; the larger-than-life synths and intricate textures are genuinely inspired. The sound of dripping water, which sounds lonely and distant, is a lovely effect. Water is lifegiving, both here on Earth and in deep space..."

Ave Maria is a universal greeting of respect and recognition of spiritual powers that tap into realms of unity, oneness and inter-connectedness. In those realms, body and mind reconnect to higher frequencies, where, just like in music, the soul is allowed a meditative rite of passage to enter a higher state of consciousness.

What Child Is This

A Thin Place, according to a New Age, Celtic belief, is an invisible membrane that separates the conscious world from that of the spirit, where connections are made and spiritual awakening occurs. Through messages of respect and recognition, it shows us the larger world in which mind and spirit dwell, and offer us comfort in times of hardship.
