In Search of The Great Song, a Song Without Borders documentary series by Michael Stillwater, explores and celebrates the song within us, connecting us and surrounding us. Filmed in America, Europe, and Australia, it features artists, educators, scientists, spiritual teachers and 'ordinary people' giving expression to their unique perspective on this universal concept.
In this episode, 'Hymn to The Great Song', Brother David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk known worldwide for his contribution to interfaith dialogue and advocacy for the power of gratitude, speaks of song born in silence, St. Francis, and the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.
"There is really only one song, and it's the Great Song, the cosmic song, the song that all things, animals, plants and humans sing in their deepest heart. And every song that a human sings with his or her voice is only an expression of that one Great Song that is there from the beginning and will be there after the end."

Even though the world changes like cloud formations,
all that is fulfilled returns home to the One,
to the changeless One.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
