Recordings were made of Syrian and Iraqi refugees, and their Lebanese fellow believers, in churches and mosques in Beirut and the Bekaa valley. Here Christian and Muslim singers perform in choirs, at times delicately accompanied by oud, organ, flute or violin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe result is an evocative audio document of a CD showing the broad range of religious songs from a region ravaged by conflicts. Hillestad presents music from the earliest centuries of Christianity and Islam up to the present. The aim is to help preserve a beautiful part of our world heritage, but also to sound a warning about what is at stake when the wars in Syria and Iraq and the generally increasing conflict level in the region tear away at the finely meshed fabric of peaceful coexistence across religions and sects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOf the more than 20 religious traditions in the region constituting the historic Syria, eight of the most musically prominent have been included on the album.
