Michael & Doris Stillwater take us on a journey to the origins and sources of music and song...in us and the entire universe. The film exudes a wonderful calm, helping us slow down into the witness place amidst our hectic world. The preciousness and uniqueness of individual people portrayed in various places on our planet, and their thoughts about the great vocal sound, bring our souls into resonance. The meditative landscape scenery and flow of the music helps us dive deep- also the healing touch of the Great Song and the wisdom of our souls... the film opens us to the magic of music."

I think it's a magnificent film - thank you very much! Tonight I'm going to a rehearsal with my choir and I will tell them all about In Search of the Great Song."

"Michael Stillwater lässt uns durch seine einfühlsame und fließend ruhige Kameraführung einzigartige Momentaufnahmen erleben. Wie aus den Augen eines neugierigen Kindes sehen wir Bilder, die das Herz zum Überlaufen bringen, Unsichtbares auf berührende Weise sichtbar machen. Wir hören Statements aus aller Welt, die versuchen, das, was an sich unerklärlich ist und unsere Lebendigkeit ausmacht zu beschreiben. Unbeschreiblich kostbar und ein filmerisches Kleinod mit großem Ausdruck."

Katharina Bossinger- Sängerin, Komponistin, Gesangslehrerin und Leiterin der Akademie für Singen und Gesundheit
