Cello Love

Have you heard of The Piano Guys?  I have recently fallen in love with their music.  Jon Schmidt was a pretty popular piano soloist about 10 years ago.   I remember during my student teaching all the kids in choir just loving him and wanting to learn how to play the piano because of him.  Well, he teamed up with an amazing cellist and I can't get enough of their music. 

I also happen to love Alex Boye (former British boy band singer- tee hee), so this song made my day:

Have I mentioned that cello is one of my absolute favorite instruments?  I'm wondering how much bribing I'm going to have to do to get one of my kids to play it?  Ya- listen to this:

This one is for my husband- it's from our favorite musical of all time - Les Miserables  (just beautiful)

This is for the Star Wars junkie or those of you that love a good, nerdy parody.  All I'm going to say is that Darth Vader with an accordion is just awesome!

I could seriously post all 30 of their videos, but the last one I'll show you is a 9 cello version of the hymn Nearer My God to Thee.  This is one of my favorite hymns and is on the short list of songs I would like to arrange for a cappella voices.  I love the harmonies he uses.
