Orchestra of Angels<\/em><\/h3>\n

I’m not a musical person. I was started on the classical guitar quite early and became decently proficient at it by the time I was in Jr. High, but I just didn’t have the fire to practice for hours like many in the music world have. I enjoy a good tune, but I can\u2019t tell the difference between, say, Mozart and something a graduate student would write (I actually wonder if musicologists couldn’t without pre-existing knowledge of Mozart\u2019s musical corpus and it’s emperors with no clothes all the way down, but I digress).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there is some music whose greatness is self-evident, and you don\u2019t need musical training to recognize and appreciate how spiritually moving it is. Below is my own list, along with examples of moving renditions<\/span><\/p>\n

Come Thou Font<\/b><\/h2>\n

The classic rendition of this we always listened to growing up, which is still my favorite, is the version in the BYU Choir\u2019s Thanksgiving of American Folk Hymns<\/em> way back when. This was in the hymn book, but was taken out, and I hope the\u00a0<\/span>new one will have it in again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
