I like to listen to Voice Mail – Hims II on the way to church. |
I have an eclectic Sunday playlist: Dirty Dozen Brass Band (New Orleans street funeral music, nearly all hymns) Not exactly quiet background music, but it sure does the trick. |
actually, i do! a couple, in fact. for whatever reason, i prefer to only listen to motab before attending church. once we’re home, there’s another playlist, but we always start out the day with whatever motab happens to be singing. |
I had one, but it appears to have vanished along the way (many of my playlists mysteriously became empty or end up with the same single unrelated track during an iTunes upgrade some months back). It was MoTabs plus a few selected LDS artists (e.g, Lex de Azevdeo instrumental arrangements). On the other hand, I really don’t use my iPod much on Sundays; just hooked up to the car stereo during my trips back and forth to the chapel (about 3 miles each way). ..bruce.. |
I really like the Very Best of Naxos Early Music on Sundays. And back when I lived in Virginia, we’d listen to Stained Glass Bluegrass on our way to Church. Until it was replaced by Morning Edition. But I found the old-timey gospel music both inspiring and a wonderful way to get ready for my worship. |
I’m still in the process of putting together a Sunday playlist. I’ve got a few songs only. “My Saviour, My God” by Aaron Shust. |
Peace like a river by MTC |
so “Bring The Noise” by Anthrax and Public Enemy would be right out, then? |
Yes, we do. Excerpts from choir performances on general conference CDs, various stuff. I particularly like ONE VOICE by the Saints Unified choir. Their version of I AM A CHILD OF GOD is amazing. |
#8 I used to maintain a list of “quiet” Sabbath music. Over time, other people in my life–including the friends who helped convert me to the Gospel, along with my wife–managed to wreck my standards and now the car soundtrack is the same crap as it is during the rest of the week. :( |
I definitely have a Sunday playlist, but until now I didn’t realize that it doesn’t have any MoTab. I don’t have many other Mormon artists either, come to think of it. I guess I’m just not that big of a fan. My Sunday playlist has a range of classical, some opera, some new age, and some miscellaneous choral stuff, with the general intent to be pleasant but not too distracting. |
Handel’s Messiah – sometimes the whole thing. |
David Johansen – A Poor Wayfaring man of Grief |
David Johansen – Come, Come Ye Saints |
I play lots of Bach. And I have a new favorite Christian singer: Sufjan Stevens. I really, really like his stuff. I find it calming and provocative. Not all of his songs are specifically religious, but I like “Abraham” and “For the Widows in Paradise.” And in the non-religious category, I like his “The Dress Looks Nice on You.” All fit in nicely with the Sabbath. And I confess that there is an arrangement (not by Stevens) of “Our God is an Awesome God” that I really like. |
Because I’m fairly superficial, I mostly listen to music in my car. So on Sundays, I have to arrive early for meetings and drive to church alone, and I will usually listen to 18th century sacred music that is sung in Latin. When I drive home, I usually have at least one of my kids in the car, and they object, so we listen to something like Clayton Pixton’s Hymns Anew. My favorite on that album is its rendition of “Nearer My God to Thee.” Or we’ll listen to the soundtracks of The Single’s Ward or The R.M., which have some pretty clever arrangements of hymns and primary songs. Otherwise, I just listen to the Beatles. |
good job and nice blog, great information but i can’t to subscride :( where i can to do? |
I never really thought of having a Sunday play list when im in the car i just have about 6 cd’s in my cd auto changer and it plays randomly. But it’s a great idea so will start putting a play list together just for sunday’s |
