I hear Astoria, Queens is happening now. Rent's cheaper, too.

Some music by St. Hildegard of Bingen.

A few free music CDs you can download here:
http://open.commonly.cc/unlocked
Download all 3 CDs by "Halcyonic Falcon X"
Don't scroll down to anything else; I can tell you right now it's all either poorly done game graphics, or a CD cover (representing very crappy music -- I already sampled it) that makes Sailor Moon look modest. Just trust me.
The music by Halcyonic Falcon X is absolutely incredible though. There are probably 2 or 3 tracks out of the 20 that you might want to delete or set aside; the rest are amazing.
I guess it depends on what kind of music you like. But, objectively speaking, it's very melodious and good music.

You got that one right! Since I moved in, Astoria is THE place to be happening! Rent is less than Manhattan, but has gone up since it's now "happening!"

That's right. You shouldn't listen to the devil's music!
But really I like all kinds of music.
I know someone who actually said this, and was quite serious:
I like BOTH kinds of music: Country AND Western!!

In honor of All Saints Day, The Litany of the Saints (http://www.christusrex.org/www2/cantgreg/cantus/litania.mp3) Gregorian Chant.
-
"Hail Holy Queen"
Because of:
Triumph, all ye cherubim
Sing with us, ye seraphim,
Heaven and earth resound the hymn:
Salve, salve, salve Regina!
Just love that part. It seems pretty good for today.
But I've got a good copy of Litany of the Saints (no new saints) I'll listen to tomorrow (All Souls) and the rest of the Octave. I hope I don't have it backwards. I probably do, don't I?

In honor of All Saints Day, The Litany of the Saints (http://www.christusrex.org/www2/cantgreg/cantus/litania.mp3) Gregorian Chant.
My favorite. Thank you for the link.
At this moment I am listening to Vince Finelli via my laptop. He has a show M-F called "USA Prepares", which usually consists of very thoughtful commentary, a wide ranging assortment of guests, and non hysterical discussions about the very dire circuмstances of the day, and what measures one can take to protect self and family. It's typically an empowering (vs fear mongering) show, despite the serious topics.
Today, he is interviewing a John Ragan re: spy/black ops, digital footprints, black boxes in cars, and his new book "Financial State of the Union".
I'm now switching to Stubborn's link!
Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu in C Sharp Minor, Op. 66.
Again and again and again. I can't get enough.
I'm like that with Beetoven's 9th for some reason.

Try explaining to young people today that just 50 years ago, all the
Catholic parishes in the world sang the Litany of Saints just like this
on All Saints' Day, in Latin. This is still within living memory. But
how long will that be the case? What we are seeing is the deliberate
extinguishing of the flame; the flame of the Faith is being treated as
if it were a fire to be put out by the Fire Department.

That is really good.
Have you ever heard the American (NPR) version? Their rendition of The Hobbit is fine, but their LOTR is just unbearable.
-
Yes Sigismund. I have the Mind's Eye production of the Hobbit, and it is very good. I wish the BBC would re-do The Hobbit. The 60s version out there is a bit woeful in spots.
The unabridged readings of the Hobbit and LOTR are excellent. As is Martin Shaw's reading of The Silmarillion.
I try to listen to all the audio I have of Tolkien's works, on a regular basis. I think I have all the audio (of every version) of his works, as I have been able to research.
Children of Hurin read by Christopher Lee is another gem. Same for the dramatized versions of Tales from the Perilous Realm.
For any Narnia fans here, Focus on the Family did an excellent dramatized version of all the Chronicles of Narnia.

Raise your mind, Bitdude! Satanic music can't help but destroy your soul. How would it be if you die suddenly while listening to this?
I'm currently not listening to music. I am babysitting for my eight year old nephew and his two friends, so I hear the sounds of mock-combat from the backyard. They're infiltrating an enemy outpost and blasting away at the invisible foe.

Dunno. I highly doubt me listening to black metal/raw bm will get me to hell.

My wife is singing in a chorus, for Handel's Messiah.
The problem with that is, she has been playing it every waking moment, and going over her part. The Messiah is long enough without having certain parts repeated several times.
What I mean to say is, I am, and have been, listening to Handel's Messiah. And I probably will be in the future as well.
...And He shall glorify-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y, and He shall glorify-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y, etc., etc.

Thank you, Stella, for a great video. BBC, A.D. 2011.
Four things come to mind seeing and hearing this:
1) How could it be that this great composer, arguably the greatest of all the Renaissance Composers, is not referred to as "venerable?" According to this BBC presentation his life was one of holiness, deep devotion, and dedication to the practice of the Faith, to which he always applied his talents in the art and practice of choral music to the best of his great ability. Where, then is the cause for his beatification, after 400 years?
2) The great mystic and foundress of the Discalced Carmelites, St. Theresa of Avila, was not only his contemporary with whom he shared the very village of his birth (Avila, Spain), but her friendship was perhaps the key inspiration for the tremendous mystical depth of his compositions, and even today we can hear in his works the voice of her ecstasies. This BBC production refers to her as his "mentor," yet he was the priest, and she was the nun! I am left wondering if the mentorship was not reciprocal! Who is to say for sure that it was not hearing the heavenly harmonies of this music that was the impetus behind the mystical ecstasies of St. Theresa of Avila?!
3) The lifelong patron of Tomas Luis de Victoria, King Philipp II of Spain, was the same person after whom the Philippines are named. It was his patronage that funded de Victoria's education and development, and without which the world might well have been deprived of the effects of his genius.
4) While musicologists marvel at the "singular" technical prowess of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to the point where Mozart is enshrined in his own special room of commemoration, the skill and incomparable achievement in harmony and unprecedented overall artistic effect of de Victoria's compositions seems to overshadow even Mozart's, in the area of choral music, which is all de Victoria really excelled in (perhaps with the exception of some minor works of voice accompanied by lute). But de Victoria did not compose for orchestra or string instruments. Nonetheless, Mozart's choral works, as impressive as they are, do not really come close to the ominous mystical power of de Victoria's. Both are fine examples of great choral music, and one can tell immediately the difference in style given any pair of examples thereof.

I heard an Irish folk song recently that was utterly captivating.
The song was about an Irishman in Australia who was homesick, and while he had some family ties or business dealings that demanded his continued presence "down under," he was doing a lot of thinking about how he could somehow bring his fond memories of the Emerald Isle overseas to his new homeland (since he couldn't leave, himself). It's kind of sad, really, but when you think about how much he loved his native country, it becomes a thing of haunting beauty.
This is a song you can sing every week and get real happy.
It goes like this: :guitar:
I was dreaming of old Ireland, of Kilarney's lakes and fells
I was dreaming of the shamrock and the dear old Shannon bells
When my memory suggested in a vision bright and clear
All the strange things that would happen if we had old Ireland here.
If the Blarney Stone stood out on Sydney Harbor
And Dublin town to Melbourne came to stay
If the Shannon River joined the Brisbane waters
And Killarney's lakes flowed into Botany Bay
If the Shannon bells rang out in old Freemantle
And County Cork in Adelaide did appear
Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home
If we only had old Ireland over here.
There are lots of lovely fairies dancing on the village green
There are lots of lovely colleens, the finest ever seen
Where the boys are all called Paddy and the girls called Molly dear
Sure we'd wrap the green flag 'round them if we had old Ireland here.
If the Blarney Stone stood out on Sydney Harbor...
And Dublin town to Melbourne came to stay
If the Shannon River joined the Brisbane waters
And Killarney's lakes flowed into Botany Bay
If the Shannon bells rang out in old Freemantle
And County Cork in Adelaide did appear
Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home
If we only had old Ireland over here.
Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home
If we only had old Ireland over here (quietly...)
Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home (big finish...)
If we only had old Ireland over here!
