I Like Gospel and Classical Music.

When I feel like listening to music, I prefer to listen to either Gospel or Classical. Let me start with Gospel Music. I like to hear Gospel Music with an uplifting message. One of my favorite songs is entitled–So you want to go back to Egypt? The vocals on this song is by Brother Keith Green. It is a mixture of funny humor along with a strong message.

Egypt represents the world, sin and the former life. In this song, Keith Green talks about the Jews who got delivered from slavery. God had a plan to get them into the land of Milk and Honey. Unfortunately, they complained and, hard to believe, missed their former life in Egypt. Keith Green takes all these circumstances and mixes it up with some funny situations that would be applicable to us. You can hear his song on the link provided below.

As for Classical Music, I like to hear some songs that are calm but then come alive such as the Overture of 1812. Written by Tchaikovsky, it start with a mellow sound and then builds up. My favorite part is when you hear the cannons fire away adding to the excitement. Another of my favorites is Haydn and Mendelssohn.

Their music is unique and uplifting. Haydn’s song Surprise is lively and interesting. My favorite part is when the music lowers and then builds up suddenly. As far as Mendelssohn is concerned, his music does the same building up a crescendo from time to time. His music features the violin in many of his songs.

Classical music has had an influence in our everyday lives. You can hear parts of it in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Also, in the popular serials of the 40’s, especially with Flash Gordon. (*) Another final note to this is to keep your eyes on AI and the effects that they are having on the music industry.

If you are a Beatles fan, you can get the latest AI sounds on their music. I ran across a Instagram page that has the latest Beatles AI music. Can you imagine what AI can do with Gospel and Classical? It would be interesting to see. I have enclosed a few links below in case you want to listen to my kind of music. Have a blessed weekend and feel free to share your thoughts.
