Music - gets me every time.

Month of Gratitude Day 5 and 6.  

 

Sometimes music is such a thrill to me that I cannot explain the profound effect it has on me.  

Think -Here is Hope - from Rob Gardner's Lamb of God available at Spire Music

I am in awe of those who write it, perform it and arrange it and can hear nuance in the harmony, the color, the mood.  I am so Grateful for this dimension of life.   
I can't sit in an auditorium and listen to the overture of a great musical or even a mediocre musical that I have grown to love and not weep in anticipation of the enjoyment to follow.
Think  The Music Man - it never gets old for me.

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." Victor Hugo

I will not belabor the fact that I love good music and even average music sometimes just for being clever or having incredible harmony.  

But to avoid a spoiler alert her is a big hint:  You might want to watch The Sing Off tomorrow night  or tonight if you are reading this on Monday morning for Vocal Point's 2nd number the Country One - oh yeah it's good. I will be watching it with my foot in the air but my heart will be back at Sony Studios and the taping, which I enjoyed with three of the Moffat offspring. Just saying...

But for your enjoyment a couple of my personal favs.

Men of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

And I may or may not have found myself weeping at this wonderful program this morning.

Salute to the Armed Services 

C.S Lewis wrote, “Isn’t it funny the way some combinations of words can give you—almost apart from their meaning—a thrill like music?” He must've felt the toward words as I do about Music.
