Arndt Büssing - En Sheva

About Me

Most of our German language songs are simply reflecting prayers. Each individual has his/her own way to resonate to the One Presence.

Since several years Claudia Büssing (vocals, guitar) and Arndt Büssing (guitars, vocals, lyrics and music) are playing with friends for children, in services and at church congresses (both, catholic and protestant).

One may find several of our songs in song books and on different CDs, such as the blessing poem "Ein Segen" with the music of composer Reinhard Horn, the childrens song "Ganz behutsam fängt es an" with the lyrics of the recently deceased German writer Rolf Krenzer, the song "Manchmal" with the lyrics of our old friend and priest Wilhelm Bruners, published at a vinly longplayer for the 1985s church congress in Düsseldorf, or the song "In Deinem Licht" with the lyrics of Hans-Jürgen Netz, which was published in the official song books of the 2006s church congress.

In 2001, I recognized a strange knocking at my door: Some notes which wanted to be sung, some words which forged ahead. And thus, a 1,5 h "pop-oratory" appeared. You may find the songs at the 2003..s CD "Zurück in Deine Hände" which can be purchased by us.

In 2008 I was invited to write some music to quotes and prayers of the German nun Mother Theresia Albers (1872-1949). They are published in a small booklet which aims to promote and support the devotion to Mother Theresia Albers by the dissemination of her work (with mentally handicappted girls), and her spirituality. – A great honor!

En Sheva - The name of the band: The "place of the seven springs", known in Arabic as Tabgha and in Hebrew as En Sheva, is the traditional site of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Mark 8,1-9). The access to the site is on the right of the road to Capernaum, which turns right off the road running north from Tiberias.
