SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
nkit, Austrian Peter, and Steve C.

Every Sunday morning we present selections for our TBP family to enjoy.

We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.

Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may stray a little, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.

We offer tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light-hearted and fun aimed at a younger audience. Those pieces will be so designated, and might be a good way to introduce kids to a world of music that they might not have been exposed to or think of as old and ‘stuffy’.

A full symphony will run as long as it will. We don’t want to cut a symphony short. However, we also include some shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes in length. You can sample each and hopefully find one or more that pleases you.

We hope that you enjoy our Sunday selections.

The most beautiful version of Hallelujah you ever heard.

A pianist and violinist, each equally adept in the classical and popular styles, combine their musicianship, versatility, passion, and talents at on-the-spot improvisations.

Awesome God

Today, I would like to introduce you to an excellent violinist Named Taryn Harbridge.

Rather than writing about her, I am going to cut and paste from her website and let this lovely lady introduce herself:

“Hello there! My name is Taryn Harbridge and I am a sinner saved by grace. One of my favorite things to do (in all the world) is create music videos that glorify God and point others directly to Him.

My purpose in life is to worship God all the days of my life and to share the amazing good news with the world. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity I have to share Jesus with the lost through music and video.

I am greatly inspired by nature and reminded of God’s incredible greatness through things like sunrises, ocean waves, and budding leaves. I love walking/hiking in the woods and God’s creation is one thing that I always try to capture in my videos.

I grew up in a folk music culture in rural Pennsylvania, so my earliest influences were of bluegrass and country music. I discovered film music when Lord of the Rings first hit the screen, and then a passion for Celtic music emerged when my mom played Enya and other artists for me as a child. When I compose music I usually end up pulling from each of these influences and incorporate them into my music somehow.

My ultimate desire as a musician (and person) is to share the amazing good news of Jesus Christ with the world. Please feel free to come along with me on this journey of worship.”

I’ll start with her piece titled “Awesome God.”

‘Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus”

We’ll follow that with ” ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus.”

Psalm 91

Next up is “Psalm 91 (On Eagles Wings)”

In Christ Alone

Next is “In Christ Alone”

You Raise Me Up

Next comes her version of “You Raise Me Up”

The Parting Glass

Finally, I’ll part with you all with Taryn playing “The Parting Glass.”

I hope that you all have enjoyed the music of this lovely lass as I have, and continue to.

Have a great Sunday.

Taryn is both talented and pretty.

I hope you like this.

Brahms: Symphony No. 3

Johannes Brahms was a German composer and pianist of the Romantic period, but he was more a disciple of the Classical tradition.

He wrote in many genres, including symphonies, concerti, chamber music, piano works, and choral compositions, many of which reveal the influence of folk music.

Some of his best-known works include Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Wiegenlied, Op. 49, No. 4, and Hungarian Dances.
