I confess that my listening hasn't been as broad as I would like this past month, but here are a few highlights. Some are new to me and others aren't; hope you enjoy.
"Call of Stonehenge" by the Ethno Music Orchestra
"A Single Act of Disobedience" from One Night With the King
"Jesus Loves Me" as performed by David Klinkenberg
"For the First Time in Forever" from the movie Frozen(admittedly I've been listening to the whole soundtrack a lot but decided to include this one. The duet between Elsa and Anna is especially well done).
I am excited to get back to writing after taking a break for the holidays while my family came to visit Indonesia. I will hopefully get back to post song analyses by next week, but in the meantime here is a glimpse of some songs I've been enjoying lately. Note that this is from the previous month, thus the Christmas songs.
"Defying Gravity" from the Broadway Wicked
"For Good" from the Broadway Wicked
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" as performed by the Annie Moses Band
"Carol of the Bells" as performed by Pentatonix
"Countless Wonders" by Chris Tomlin
"Upon This Rock" as performed by Kristin Chenowith
This is the first in a new series of posts I hope to add to the blog. Once I month I would like to share an assortment of songs that I have been listening to (beyond the ones that I am studying for the blog). These are all songs that I hope would be considered as beneficial to listen to and safe from a Christian point of view!
Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major" (here's just the first movement)
Bach's "Chaconne in D minor" from Partita for Violin No. 2
"Second Chance" by Rend Collective Experiment
"Build Your Kingdom Here" by Rend Collective Experiment
"Great is Your Glory" by Vicky Beeching
"Become One of the People" by James Horner (from the movie: "Avatar." Note that I have some major issues with the film from a Christian viewpoint; however, I glean this song - and other songs composed for the movie - as great works worth holding onto)
"Grace" by Jimmy Be Free
"Thank You God for Saving Me" by Chris Tomlin, featuring Phil Wickham
