Celebrating Easter -- Two "Treasure-Houses" of On-Line Music
G'Day All -- Although I'm not often accused of being excessively religious, for many years I've been fascinated by an old time way of church singing that's called either "shape-note," or "sacred harp." Recently, I was searching the 'Net to see if any audio tracks of this kind of music might be available on-line, and stumbled onto site that contains a "treasure-house" of traditional hymns and gospel songs of many different types. Seems like it would make a nice "Audio Easter Basket" for almost anyone who enjoys such things, regardless of what your specific religious beliefs may be: http://www.pilgrimproduction.org/catagories.html For folks who prefer religious music of a more "classical" nature, here's another treasure-house, graciously provided by the Church of Saint Agnes, in Saint Paul, Minnesota: http://www.stagnes.net/music-recordings.html Try surfing through the these sites, and see if you don't find some tracks that you enjoy. Best wishes for a happy Easter time. I hope the Easter Bunny brings you lots of chocolate eggs !!
