I enjoyed that Chris Isaak song from earlier. Sounds great! Here is Bells of Gethsemene from Bruce Cockburn's new album this year, all instrumental:

Thanks for all the replies. Here is another one in the classical genre, though very different from Tchaikovsky. Arvo Part's "Cantus in Memorium Benjamin Britten".

This is a thread to share and discuss music with bells in it, different genres. My first music video of this type is by Virginia Astley, who has become a personal favourite of mine. This is a 1986 rendition of her enchanting song "A Summer Long Since Passed" from her Hope in a Darkened Heart...

One of my favourite Christian bands from the 80's is The 4th Movement, who put out two great albums in the early 80's. Some exceptional music from these guys. Not that I actually heard their stuff at the time. It wasn't until many years later (through the internet) that I heard them with my own...

Listening to the album "Fortunate Fall" by Audrey Assad on Spotify. Some great pop music.

Sounds great. Never heard this rendition before,until you shared it.

A Good list. Though I'm not sure if I'm still into any Michael Omartion songs. (Listened to him in the past, but not that much). As for CCM radio, like you I tend to find it trite and boring. Yet there is some of the "good stuff" at times. Years ago I was in the car with my dad, travelling...

When you use the term "P&W" are you referring to Praise and Worship music? If that's what you mean, to be a inappropriate content star and sing worship songs is pretty contradictory. Even with your top on. The whole inappropriate contento, topless worship thing would be a mockery of Christ. The bible tells us to present...

There was a song that came to my mind. Black Soul Choir by 16 Horsepower. I was thinking of posting the video, but someone beat me to it. Great song. Sounds great on the stereo with some good volume. First time hearing that John Michael Talbot piece. I like it. Quality material.

There is a very long list of current classical composers, many of whom I'm not familiar with. Arvo Part is one of my favourite current composers, though his music often bares strong similarity to medieval art music. I come from a very strong rock and popular background, and was a mere classical...

Yes your the one I was referencing, though not the first time I've heard that view. Don't think your elitist. Not sure, but think I may have talked to you before on another forum. What about the Sergey Prokofiev piece I shared? To me the piece stands alone, with or without the film and is...

Yes great song. That was by The Shuffle Demons, but you may know that already.

Can film music be classical? Recently on this forum, the point was made that film music is it's own genre. The belief that film music can't be classical. It's not the first time I've come across this perspective or some variation of it. How many classical fans on this forum agree with...

I started listening to rap in 1983. During the 80's it was a very important part of my music diet, with the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, Run D.M.C, Boogie Down Productions and others. But gradually rap began to go in new directions, often not to my liking. Over time rap became a much smaller...

I didn't listen to much of my Christmas music this year. One Christmas tune I have enjoyed, is a new one by HB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G60Prnr3x9I

Another favourite Christian song, a rendition of Psalm 131 by Waterdeep. Not sure if this was ever a hit on Christian radio, but it's a hit in my musical universe: Psalm 131 - YouTube

A favourite of mine from Misty Edwards: Misty Edwards - Behind the song - "You Set Your Love on Me" - 12 of 14 - YouTube

A cappella psalm singing has been sung in some very different styles of music, and was brought to North America in differing forms. Sacred Harp is specifically descended from a type of rural church singing from England called West Gallery, though it did absorb other influences (such as...

Yes Jimmy Abbeg played for Vector, and Charlie Peacock also worked with them on their first album (something you probably already know). I don't get to see a lot of concerts, but I imagine Taylor's band would put on a really good show.
