In the world of instrumental music, few compositions carry the profound resonance of Salicath’s “Angel Raphael (The Angel of Healing).” This new release from the award-winning composer and pianist is as much a spiritual experience as it is a musical one, inviting listeners to explore themes of comfort, peace, and reflection. Recorded on her 80-year-old Steinway grand piano, the track exudes a rich, calming quality that feels both timeless and otherworldly. With each note, Salicath captures the essence of Archangel Raphael, known in spiritual circles as the angel of healing and protection, creating a piece that speaks to the soul.
Accompanying her latest single, the artwork for “Angel Raphael” showcases another dimension of Salicath’s talent. As a visual artist, she sculpted an image of the archangel, which now adorns the single’s cover, adding a tangible representation of her connection between visual and auditory arts. This melding of forms creates a holistic experience that goes beyond listening—viewers and listeners alike are invited into Salicath’s world, where music and art converge to heal and inspire.
As an artist, Salicath has built a reputation for merging music and spirituality, drawing from her own life experiences and profound visions. Her compositions have garnered her significant recognition, including nominations for the WAM Award 2024 for her album ‘Angel Hanael’s Song‘ and an Intercontinental Music Award for Christmas Angel. With each release, Salicath’s influence grows, touching over a million listeners worldwide who seek solace in her spiritually resonant music. Her journey as an artist took an extraordinary turn following a near-death experience, which awakened her musical gifts and added a layer of depth and emotion to her work that captivates audiences.
The origin of “Angel Raphael” adds an intriguing layer to the work. Salicath composed the track after receiving it in a dream, a vision that she then brought to life through her piano, infusing the music with an ethereal quality. Released on August 20, 2024, the track offers a soundscape that transcends typical instrumental compositions, evoking a deeply meditative atmosphere that soothes listeners dealing with emotional or physical struggles. It’s a piece that not only provides comfort but also encourages a sense of inner calm, aligning perfectly with Salicath’s artistic mission to bring healing through her music.
Recently, Salicath’s work received two nominations from the World Entertainment Awards, with Angel Hanael’s Dream being recognized in the “Best Piano Solo” category. Her multifaceted artistry and dedication to creating deeply moving compositions have established her as a visionary in contemporary instrumental music. “Angel Raphael” is another addition to this legacy, a reminder of music’s power to uplift and heal. Through this composition, Salicath invites us all to pause, find stillness, and reconnect with the deeper elements of ourselves and the world around us.
