Post 'em if you've got 'em: Inspirational Music

[CBHagman]

Lately what spiritual comfort I've found has come in music. The following song, "The Canticle of the Turning," is a particular favorite. Yes, the melody ought to be familiar; it's "The Star of the County Down." Vaughan Williams used it as well.

1. Here's something that creates inspirational music

This is the organ at St. Raphael's in Dubuque. With a skilled musician at the console this creates very inspirational music.

2. Hard to go past the divine Mozart,

and the beauty of his "Ave Verum Corpus":

For those of you, like me, not too smart at latin translation and unfamiliar with it:

The bread of angels becomes the bread of man;
This bread of heaven does away with symbols.
What a marvel! The poor, the servant and the humble
May feed on their Lord.

4. One time, at Mass, while everyone

was going to communion, a gifted member of the parish got up and sang Ava Maria with the pianist accompanying. It was so beautiful and simple, you could've heard a pin drop--I marveled at how all were seemingly spellbound. Brought tears to my eyes and, judging by all the eye-dabbing going on around me, I wasn't alone.
