What are you listening to right now?

I have always felt that if the biblical story of creation would have had a soundtrack, this would have been it. The solemn gravity of The Great One as he slowly, over the course of several days, painted his great masterpiece until the time at which he was pleased and then, rested. This piece from the great Rachmaninoff describes it perfectly.


Christian Rach, eh?
 
Stephen Schwartz doesn't do it for you, eh? :)

This lady, Betty Messiego was in her late 70's or early 80's here. I think she has a wonderful voice but I was ALSO taken with the guitarist. He could really play!!


 
For those among us who are getting away from a cult I dedicate this song...
 

Christmas Bells​


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1807 – 1882

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."
