worship music.

[postman]

i love modern worship music and yesterday while trying to find the match between Billy Joel's song and a worship song i found a lovely singer Lauren Diagle in some songs she sounds like Adele she is wonderful.

Some worship music can be very good but I do find the devil has the best tunes.

I inadvertently picked up a CD by a Christian metal band the other day, who are called Symphony in Peril. Not had a chance to listen to it yet, but reading the lyrics they're not overly "Praise be" so might be worth a listen.

P.O.D. are pretty good too.

I do occasionally listen to church hymns because they remind me of my Gran. Harry Secombe's version of Abide with me is one of my favourites

Now theres a band I haven't thought of in a long time, might have to have a nostaglia trip for some P.O.D. this afternoon.

Hidergard of Bingen did some pretty good religious music. Apart from her day job as a senior abbess & area manager of a string of convents, she was also a noted herbalist and supposedly invented beer as we now know it by adding hops to the recipe. Now better known for her side hustle of writing music for her nuns to sing. Still being played nearly 1000 years later.

One Group I like who do a mixture of Country songs and worship songs, is Southern Raised.

I have sympathy for him....

I love sacred music - the old fashioned kind rather than most modern 'jeezus' music...though I make an exception for Gospel music which is fabulous. Hymns, psalms, plainsong, oratorios, Organ music etc.

I'd struggle to categorise Gospel music as "modern". (unless you are a geologist ... ;-) )

I'd say "early music" is pre 1600 though some would allow the 17th century too. My example upthread was 11th century

Modern music starts maybe with the Rite of Spring from 1913 or perhaps Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire from a year earlier

I'm going through a really rough time ATM and found this to be a real comfort.

If your not a believer then fair enough, scroll on...

Never quite understood what that means. Presumably an american insult of some kind.

I should perhaps say my "modern music"
post was slightly tongue in cheek albeit looks serious in retrospect
