Bolivian Music 25/10/09

Deep in the tropics of Bolivia, a revival of centuries-old Jesuit music is leading to a spiritual re-awakening and creating the next generation of the country's classical musicians.

Europeans and the local Indians have restored the original churches and reconstructed thousands of pages of original musical scores from the 17th century.

Heart and Soul goes to Bolivia to talk to the young musicians who say the music makes them feel closer to God, and to Father Piotr Nawrot, a Polish priest and musicologist, who painstakingly restored 27 volumes of music - a treasure trove that he describes as sacred music.
