Just thought i'd start a thread for all to share decent music (please don't post any blasphemous/obscene content if it can be helped. Thanks!)

I think it to be une exellante idee Monsieur Earl! Personally I have been attempting to learn french, so I have been listening to some of their folk songs and this is my favorite so far:

You can pretty much tell what has happened just by watching. I am sympathetic as I also keep water fowls.



Also, I think someone around here was looking for the Anima Christi some time back, but in Spanish. It is beautiful. Here it is anyhow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN0QUHwnvMs


I love Schubert's Ave Maria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bosouX_d8Y
It's in German I was surprised when I first herd it to find that it is not the one I herd in church. There was/is a young lady who sang it after Mass once in a while. On one occasion it sounded so good to my ears I almost cried.

I listen to most styles... being a music major that focuses on choral music, I listen to a lot of choral music...

This one is called "The Homecoming"... song starts at 5:33. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qxn9CrJ6aw)

"Richte Mich, Gott" -Felix Mendelssohn. The "Introibo ad Altare Dei" of the Mass, but in German. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjkzIDEMQT0)

This might be the most beautiful arrangement of Silent Night you'll ever hear. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mbWgb7V1cI)

And of course, you have your Palestrina, Mozart, Lauridsen or Beethoven, but that's for another day.

I can really listen to anything so long as their aren't lyrics that make me cringe. So I like a few (very few) 80's and 70's rock songs but mostly classical. I'm a fan of the big ones like Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi and a lesser known artist named Romberg and these are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. But some of my favorite music are things like movie scores. This piece below isn't a movie score but it gives insight into the style I'm talking about.

I've also encountered a few great pieces in video games (Yes I'm a "gamer"). The piece below belongs to a franchise called Halo and the piece itself has a rather amusing backstory. The guy who wrote it actually did so on the way to the meeting where he was supposed to present his masterpiece. Well to say the least it was quite the hit. Writer's name is Martin O'donnel. He wrote several more pieces like this that vary in status but this was his greatest hit by far. So not bad for a last minute, winged production, eh?

That last piece there will probably be more popular among the younger folks but it isn't obscene, so please listen to it and share your thoughts.



I also enjoy Gregorian Chants and chants in general. The way a good men's choir can set a solemn tone never ceases to amaze me.

Epic / March / European Folk music. These are a couple of good examples of the type of music I enjoy:

I love this music too!  Music by Jew artists makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.  But that's not because I'm a Jew (I'm not!).

In reference to NotaJew (an oxymoron if there ever was one) and JezusdeKoning Jєωιѕн composers are the most inferior composers in the Germanic territories thanks to the values of their race having no idealism whatsoever. Obviously such greats as Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, etc. are ideal German composers.

There are very few of them, if any. The only one that even had Jєωιѕн heritage was baptized in his youth. Most famous composers were Christian.

That'd be Mendelssohn, I guess? He was a Protestant.

Mahler (Austrian) became a Catholic, but mainly to get a job.

Oh you sly thing, jou!  Can you teach me your double-speak so I can fool the dumb goyim too?

P.S. I'm not a Jew, this is just an inside joke between me and Jezus-noKeD-ing, we totally aren't Jews or anything.
