Playlists for Worship Services and Choir Hours
1st United Methodist Church of Grants, New Mexico

Back to Main Page.
   
    Every Wednesday night at 7:00, I host a Zoom Choir Hour where I play YouTube videos of some amazing choir performances. During the intermission, we chat about humorous or positive experiences we've had. Jokes are also fair game. The idea is to have some laughter therapy to add to the music therapy.
     Email me if you'd like to receive invitation emails to these Zoom meetings. You don't need to be a member of our church! Below are links to YouTube videos from Choir Hours and Zoom worship services.
     Zoom audio isn't very high quality, but YouTube audio is. Treat yourself and click some of the links below.
     For an even bigger treat, wear earphones or use a speaker plugged into your computer or cell phone earphone jack. Click here (then scroll down) for information about an unbelievable $26 speaker that's the size of a soft drink can, and that fills an entire room with high quality sound. (A computer chip inside the speaker makes such a miracle possible.) Some phones don't have an earphone jack, but this speaker can connect using a wireless Bluetooth connection. As far as I know, all smartphones can do Bluetooth.

Click here to bring up YouTube playlists compiled be me and others. They're in the section titled (appropriately enough) YouTube Playlists. These playlists play one piece right after the other (without you clicking anything). Some give you hours of music or videos without you needing to leave your easy chair. One of the playlists has a huge number of non-music videos that will warm your heart &/or make you laugh.

    • Intermission:
      •    I'd like to give a thank you to the pandemic. Even though it's been a trial for everyone, for me there has also been a silver lining. It started with Jennifer wanting  us to use Zoom. Then, I had to find music videos for our Zoom services. And, this resulted in my discovery that YouTube had zillions of choir videos.
           I had worn out my CD collection and had stopped dedicated listening. The pandemic created a need for frequent morale-boosting, and my newly found choral music reservoir got me back to dedicated, at-home, listening.
           Music designed for car-listening keeps our spirits up, is good for getting words across, and can communicate many emotions. However, its noisy environment keeps it from communicating the full range of emotions that quiet-listening of harmony-rich music can.
           Anyway, I'm glad the pandemic got me back to sit-down music listening.
           Although, you can't find the whole zillion YouTube videos on my website, there's something like a tenth-of-a-zillion ones there.

            • You know how popular music performers often do a lot of gymnastics as they sing, well this performance is the exact opposite. I selected this piece because it reminded me that we've been through this divided-country stuff before, and we didn't end up becoming a racist confederacy. I think this hymn helped Union soldiers win. The words were written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861. The piece is, of course, The Battle Hymn of the Republic. It's performed by the United States Army Field Band, and it includes the picolo part.
          • Intermission: William Tell overature, Finale. San Francisco Symphony. The next piece would be a one to play when an army is charging toward the enemy {1/17/24,8/14}F[4 s c]; The rooster and hen thought the cat was dead and were very sad! [4.5]

                I've been feeling a bit gloomy lately. Fall and winter are COVID times, there is such foolishness going on in government, and we don't seem to have learned anything from World War II. I know I shouldn't borrow trouble by worrying about the future, but I found myself doing so.

                When looking for videos to play, I came across Elaine Haggenberg's O Come, Emmanuel. I only remembered that it was a powerful piece, and I decided to play it to refresh my memory. I had forgotten how gloomy it was, but it perfectly expresses the deep yearnings we all feel during these times of trial. The strong emotions evoked by the piece were cathartic for me. So--I'm going to play this gloomy-but-beautiful piece for you--but I'll follow it with one of the most upbeat pieces I know. Hopefully, you'll get as much of a lift from these two pieces as I did.
