Religious Music

[MarkD]

Do you know this version?

No but is it the same song? Not my cupps tea.

 

[Alligatorob]

No but is it the same song?

Same tune, different words.

 

[Gary O']

These kids do the song no harm

 

[Gary O']

This guy has become a favorite of mine

When December rolls around, expect to hear Handel's Messiah emanating from all quarters: elevators, malls and if you're fortunate, live in concert.

This brings us to the business of standing during that famous chorus, a tradition said to have begun in 1743, when King George II rose from his seat, enthralled by the beauty of the music. Not wanting to offend the king, the audience also stood, or so the story goes.

 

[MarkD]

I used to have an instrumental version of this Jewish song that I liked a lot. Looking for that I came across this which I like even more. They remind me of the Bare Naked Ladies.

This is the one Bare Naked Ladies did that I was thinking was similar.

 

[Gary O']

This song, for me, is quite hauntingly beautiful
It draws me
Makes me think of our mountain place

 

[Alligatorob]

Since we have been talking about Mormons on other threads this one comes to mind. Kind of the Mormon National Anthem...

 

[RadishRose]

I remember singing this in Latin, as a child.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the most famous choir in the nation.

Aramaic was the language Jesus spoke.

I did this with high school glee club! We loved it.

Playing this again
Can't seem to play it enough

Funny how those with less than optimal circumstances can bring you up

 

[Farrah Nuff]

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I love the sound of a mass choir and this in particular since I was young.

What a beautiful and touching moment. His singing brought tears to my eyes! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Gary O']

His singing brought tears to my eyes!

Does me too

In this selfishly bitter world
with everything coming unfurled

We get this lesson in tenderness
and a testament to usefulness

What a delicate little soul
one day
.....to be made whole

Thank you for your lovely poem.

 

[Gary O']

Thank you for your lovely poem.

Heh, as you know, words sometimes come together

It's a tad haphazard (came a bit too quick)


I'm fixing and completing it right now
getting lengthy

Seems a couple religion threads of late has propelled me to concentrate on what is good in this life
