30 day song challenge: Day 24

I think there might be a lot of hymns I would like to have played at my funeral. But for our purposes today, I'm going to narrow it down to one. It's one that expresses my testimony of my Savior and can vaguely express all that the Lord has done for me in my life.

"I Know That My Redeemer Lives" is a hymn that I've heard since I was a very small child. The more I grow, the more I appreciate and understand that hymn.

30 day song challenge: Day 19

My favorite album, Consider the Lilies, is done by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Here is one of my favorite songs from that album:

30 day song challenge: Day 15

Whoo! Halfway done with my song challenge.

This is another tough writing prompt. I don't know if I've ever come across a song that I feel describes me. There are songs that describes aspects of me or feelings I'm having. But not a song that I identify with in that way.

But this is a song that describes what I like to think that I will be some day. It is a special favorite of mine. I hope you find it beautiful and inspiring too.

30 day song challenge: Day 11

I guess you could say that my favorite band is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I listen to them more than anyone else. I think that I always have.

I remember as a young child listening to records of them singing the Handel's Messiah and favorites from Broadway. I went to sleep with them almost every night. When I was a teenager, I'd turn them on while I cleaned the house or did other work. I've used them to wake me up, to perk me up and to soothe me. They're fantastic!

Here is one of my favorites that they do. It is also one of my favorite songs from a musical (one of many).

30 day song challenge: Day 10

I have to say, there aren't a lot of songs that make me fall asleep. Most music keeps me awake because, for some reason, I have to listen to it. I can't study or read very well with music either, unless it is math and I'm listening to a rhythmical piece of classical music (weirdly enough). So this is a tough one.

I decided to choose one that relaxes me instead, which is also hard to find. I get excited and exhilarated over Mormon Tabernacle Choir and classical pieces that others find boring or soothing. Even Enya is exciting.

 But this one is very peaceful, and I love it. "Abide With Me" is one of my many favorite hymns. I hope you enjoy it, too.

30 day song challenge: Day 8

Here is a song that is very special to me. The words really uplifted me and helped me during a difficult time once, and I have never forgot them since.

30 day song challenge: Day 1

I found this really cool challenge on the blog, The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls. I love music, and this is a fun excuse to share some on my blog. So here goes ...

My favorite song ... hmm. That's a toughie. My favorite hymn? My favorite song from a musical? My favorite classical piece or country or bluegrass song? I'm going to only pick a couple of my all-time favorites ...

Fantastic music!

I listened to this today and loved it! It's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with Lindsey Stirling and Nathan Pacheco. I've seen Stirling before, but this is the first time I've heard Pacheco. He's really amazing, too. Stirling's song, "Elements," is incredible! I included it at the bottom in case people didn't have time to listen to the full hour concert.

Lindsey Stirlings Elements ... Gorgeous!
