Christian music, new and classic
 

We have been discussing church music in another thread and I am kinda wondering what there is out there that is really good music with a christian theme. I'll post what I find. Doesn't have to be suitable for playing in a church, just christian themed.

Maria Callas - Ave Maria

Maybe my number one favorite both of religious music and of opera.

Maria Callas ? Thank you :icon_cool: - You know most younger people here would have no idea who she was.


Most ANYthing by Chris Tomlin - Never heard of him? These people have. :tongue:

Wynonna Judd, I Can Only Imagine

This is another of my favorite classics, which presses the buttons both for christian and opera - and christmas.

Bing Crosby and his version of 'O holy Night' which I am forced to post as it is in English,

but the best version ever is in Swedish and sung by Jussi Björling, the best tenor of his time. I play this one many times every christmas.

Note: I say christmas, but this song has nothing to do with Santas and shopping frenzys.

Samuel Barber's 'Agnus Dei'

Samuel Barber and I go way back, to 1970. :)
People may not think of instrumental sacred music much - but here is 3 hours
of uplifting music, mostly piano with a background. It might be titled 'Yeshua'.
