WHAT WE'RE LISTENING TO. . .

Here's the question:
"When you want to relax, what is the music that you turn to over and over again?"
 

Mostly Enya, Bach, Native American Flute, Vienna Waltzes, George Winston, and my newest favorite, "The Power of Love" by Vandana Bali (my little sister :) This CD has a real soothing effect, it's vintage jazz/blues in style but it's her voice that touches you. People comment that their children are lulled by her voice (especially her first CD: 'With You'). …Kavita Bali, California USA

Enya… Theresa Kinzly, Georgia USA; Carol Meredith, Maryland USA

Yo-Yo Ma and Bobby McFerrin’s version of Bach’s “Air on G” from their CD “Hush”… Kathie Zettervall, Virginia USA

George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”… Linda Schmidt, Texas USA

Chris Rice—just like his lyrics! Meg Sondey, Ohio USA

I like classical music, John Denver, Enya, and the old standbys—the Mamas and the Pappas… Sharon Fairborn, California USA

The ballet “Swan Lake”… Helene Scheff, Rhode Island USA

TrancePlanet, Volume 4… Lisa Byron, Ohio USA

Mozart Horn Concertos… Elaine Crozier, New Zealand

Joni Mitchell and Diana Krall are two that I listen to a lot, Holst the Planets is frequently heard… this is hard as I have music going nearly all the time…
Meredith Adami, Washington USA

“Simple Gifts” CD - a guitar solo featuring hymns and works by Bach, Haydn, and Mozart with Christopher Parkening as the soloist… Mary Strack, California USA

I’m listening to it right now! Windam Hills 25 Years of Guitar… Molly Emmons, California USA

Cat Stevens’ “Tea For the Tillerman”… Alora Sinclair, Ontario Canada

Kenny G, instrumental pieces… Tina Pulice, California USA

Irish or Scottish folk music; Battlefield Band is one of my favorites. I also have a CD called “Celtic Folk Music” that I play over and over… Nan Vollette, Virginia USA

My CD of old Scottish ballads… Margaret Kenda, Massachusetts USA

Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald… Nina Robertson, Scotland

Jones… Nancy Franklin, Texas USA

Stan Rogers, “Home in Halifax”… Colleen Kennedy, Saskatchewan, Canada

Bonnie Raitt!... Kathy Kerr, Virginia USA

Gregorian Chant—soul-lifting music which is timeless, soothing and appeals to my sense of beauty. There is a special quality about male voices singing plainchant…
Anne Devereux, New Zealand

"Fantasys" by Danny Wright. It is just piano and makes great background music. I also lean toward music that addresses my spiritual needs. One CD in particular that I play frequently is “You Are Mine” by David Haas… Marie Nielsen , New Jersey USA

"Peaceful,” a CD by Andre Reis, a young man from Brazil who played the piano in our church when he was a university student… Pam Oselka, Michigan USA

Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte, Miles Davis… Donna Ron, Israel

I listen to Andrea Bocelli whenever I want/need to relax... I’d most recommend “Sogno” and “Romanza.” Enjoy!... Stephanie Weishaar, Maryland USA

Chopin, Chopin, Chopin! Janet Jendron, South Carolina USA
