I mentioned Hiromi Uehara in an earlier post. She is amazing, and she plays the piano. Hiromi talks about the power of instrumental music to move people, saying, "I believe that people's real voices are expressed in their emotions. It's not something that you really say. It's more something that you have in your heart. Maybe it's something you haven't said yet. Maybe you're never going to say it. But it's your true voice. Instrumental music is very similar. We don't have any words or any lyrics to go with it. It's the true voice that we don't really put into words, but we feel it when it's real."

"I know the Color Of Love,
(And It lives in side of you)
I know the color of truth,
(Its in the image of you)
If it comes for the heart, then you know that its true,
It will color your soul, like a rainbow
(Like a rainbow)
And the color of love, is in you"

Here's one from me. The genre is trance. The singer featured here is Azam Ali and the lyrics are in Persian. I will recommend everyone to check Azam Ali's music. I'm not sure what I can call her genre or style of music but the instruments and the way of singing she utilizes is Sufi-like!

There is some awkward man love going on the video when taken out of context. They had just won a major competition and this was the finale for their commemorative DVD.

Great Piece. Flowerdale by Phillip Sparke. Cornet is a terrific instrument.

Hello friends, music is medicine for the soul

I like many types of music but for relaxation one can't go past Tony O'Connor



I also like the song, Leave a little room for God.

"We shall overcome some day"
One of the artists I've appreciated over the years has been Joan Baez..or as we used to call her "Joanie"..Her music has a lot of social commentary that is still worth listening to!

Joan Baez sings "We Shall Overcome" (with some lyrics in Farsi) for the Iranian people:

I like this. It reminds me of the theme song from the movie Gladiator.

some uplifting / moving / energising music!
Cavatina - (instrumental) moves me most times I hear it


Luke Slott - really reccomend his albums
Luke Slott


Pie Jesu - very moving!


Needs no introduction... Amazing Grace. As someone that found the Bahá'í Faith at 30 years old this song has particular relevence! - it is also the only 'song' with lyrics I have on my classical playlist on my phone that happened to be playing a couple of nights ago when I receited these words... Choose life. Choose faith. and it came on instantly as I said "It is God." - coincidence? perhaps... I tend to write all these kind of things off as coincidences... but, moved me greatly at the time - and inspired me to get onto my knees and recite two prayers of gratitude!


This one reminds me of the beauty in nature and the ever flowing tapestry of life! Divenire - Ludovico Einaudi


and this one is very different genre.. but i've included it because it inspires me with energy! (never played the game in the video though!)
