A double album by Piotr Rubik, containing a recording of an exceptional concert that took place in September 2015. 18 joyful and reflective pieces about love, written for choir, orchestra and soloists, with whom the famous oratorios "Tu Es Petrus" and "September Psalter" were previously performed.
“I think they are very hit songs. I think that those who miss the old days of "Tu Es Petrus" and "September Psalter" will appreciate this kind of return to the roots, my traditional sound "- says Piotr Rubik.
If aliens started watching our terrestrial TV, listening to the radio, reading the press or browsing the Internet, they would have to conclude that they have landed on some crazy planet. Has happiness, beauty, goodwill, friendship and the deep humanism that distinguishes humans from animals disappeared from people's lives? Being a human is a great distinction against the backdrop of the cosmos, it is a great knowledge from which we have learned to draw. As a gift, we humans, a gift reserved for the Absolute - we can create life. A girl and a boy, thanks to love, give birth to a new man, a new existence. There is no greater miracle in the universe. The composer Piotr Rubik and the poet Zbigniew Książek decided to remind us all that there is also beauty in the world around us, there is righteousness there is love.
"Songs of Happiness" is a tribute to sensitivity, the ability to feel and what is most important - love. As St. Paweł - "If I spoke in the tongues of people and angels (...) and I would not have love - I would be nothing."
