Date Released: 2023
A special album of divine music and meditation to soothe, illuminate and transform…
Featuring Charlie Hogg, Tania de Jong, Ayako Ichimaru and David Kilowsky
This album was inspired at a Brahma Kumaris Retreat in the Blue Mountains in Australia in 2022.
In this ever-changing, unstable world, the spiritual awakening of each one of us is needed more than ever. Knowing and experiencing our deepest identity as “I am a peaceful soul” is the essential foundation of this.
The Brahma Kumaris have been tirelessly promoting meditation and a way of life based on this understanding which is transforming the lives of millions worldwide.
Artists involved in this album have experienced tremendous benefits from it in their own spiritual journeys. They had a vision to bring inner peace and hope through music and meditation.
The album is a gift to the broader community and we're therefore releasing it for free.
Om shanti - I am a peaceful soul.
Tania de Jong, Charlies Hogg, Ayako Ichimaru, David Kilowsky

“Tania has a beautiful and moving voice. Some graffiti on a wall said, 'Without music, life would not be fair.' After hearing you sing some favourites of mine, I'd say, 'Without Tania, life would not be fair.'”
Dan Millman, Mindfulness expert and author of best-selling Way of the Peaceful Warrior
“Tania's music touched my heart so deeply. I feel blessed that I experienced Tania live and her song 'Flying Free' brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.”

Featuring Tania de Jong AM (soprano) with Anthony Barnhill (composer and pianist) and guest artists including Zoe Black (violinist), Jonathan Morton (baritone) and orchestra performing originals and some of the greatest music and songs of all-time.
Flying Free is a classical crossover recording bringing together the angelic voice of soprano Tania de Jong with the virtuosic genius of pianist, composer and arranger Anthony Barnhill. Also appearing on the album is one of Australia's most acclaimed violinists Zoe Black and baritone Jonathan Morton. The album has been recorded with some of Australia's leading musicians.
The album includes originals Flying Free and The Everlasting Light with compositions by Barnhill and lyrics by de Jong. There are also reinventions of some gorgeous standards including Shenandoah and Danny Boy and sacred songs including two versions of Ave Maria, Panis Angelicus and the Yiddish prayer Avinu Malkeinu. This incantation seeks compassion and peace and an end to war and famine, hate and oppression. Very timely in a world that is ever more divided.
The recording features the work of Schubert, Handel, Caccini, Dvorak, Lehar, Korngold and Gershwin though not always in the way you may expect. There is a divine and timeless nature to these incredible works and Barnhill has created some magical re-inventions.
Heaven on Earth is a classical spiritual recording bringing together the angelic voice of soprano Tania de Jong with the virtuosic genius of pianist, composer and arranger Joe Chindamo. Also appearing on the album is one of Australia's most acclaimed violinists Zoe Black and baritone Jonathan Morton. The album has been recorded with some of Australia's leading musicians.
The album includes originals Heaven on Earth, Rainbow Shower and Peace Om shanti with compositions by Chindamo and lyrics by de Jong. There are also reinventions of some gorgeous standards including Summertime, Somewhere from Westside Story and La Vie en Rose and glorious classical reinventions of some of the greatest symphonies and concertos. The recording features the work of Beethoven, Mozart, Faure, Elgar and Dvorák though not always in the way you may expect.
The songs range from Mozart's glorious Clarinet Concerto Adagio to Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto renamed Bring the Light, Elgar's majestic Nimrod Variations retitled Light Eternal, Faure's haunting Pavane as Angel Song and Dvorak's New World Symphony as the moving spiritual Going Home.
Tania will be donating 10 percent of the album sales to Creativity Australia's With One Voice program.
