Inspiring Music
I'm always on the look out for good inspirational music. It's hard to find truly moving music because often it's cheesy or overly sappy. Rob Gardner is fabulous! (Little side note- I served with his sister as missionaries in Spain 10 years ago and just barely put the connection together) He has two oratorio type programs: Joseph Smith the Prophet & Lamb of God.
The first video is "The Three Witnesses" from Joseph Smith the Prophet:
The second video is a recording session of "Gethsemane" from Lamb of God:
You know you're doing pretty well for yourself when the London Symphony Orchestra is recording your music. Listen to that cello!!! It's absolutely gorgeous!
He's also composed 2 secular musicals. Probably one of my favorite songs is "A Paratrooper's Prayer" from The Price of Freedom (set in WWII):
My favorite part is that most of his music is downloadable in sheet music form. He has a number of hymn arrangements (Joel was thrilled there was music for Tenors). It's on his website Spire Music.
Have you heard "Saints and Pioneers?" It's awesome!
