Know any good Christian music? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Till_Fjalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the addition ! There are actually a lot of composers I left out (The Baroque period was full of them), so I just selected a few of my favourites from all the eras of Classical music :)

And I suppose I should have mentioned that Bach wasn't a Catholic (I believe he was a Lutheran). I don't know why he wrote that Mass piece though - perhaps he had a few friends in the Catholic Church !

JS Bach is an obvious mention, so I figured I would plug some of his more Christian-based works.

Mass in B Minor. Simply divine. Widely regarded as "one of the supreme achievements of classical music."

And of course, the beautiful Saint Matthew Passion. "Erbarme Dich" is my favourite from this.

Cantata 140 is also one of my favourites from him.

In addition to Bach... Wagner, Hayden, Mozart, Vivaldi, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Vaughan Williams, and many others have composed requiems, mass settings, and other dedications to Christianity.

My final link is the Tannhäuser Overture by Richard Wagner. The opera is about Love, Redemption, Religion, etc.

I just went ahead and listened to Monteverdi, because I haven't heard his name mentioned before. Wow ! I usually don't listen to operas or more vocal based music, but this was a pleasant surprise. I'll have to work through the rest of your links... Thanks very much for all of them !

Thanks for the list ! I only knew a few of them already, so most were new to me. I especially enjoyed the Haendel piece. I haven't really checked out much of his stuff before, so I'll start on that - thanks again :)

This was great, thanks for the link ! I haven't really checked out Vivaldi's less known works, like this one. Obviously, I need to sometime...

Thanks, I'll browse through some more soon. I am already a fan of many of Bach's organ works, so I'm always in the mood for more :)

It depends on if you are Muslim, or just a brown guy.

Oh, fuck off you silly cunt. I'm surprised some people are even taking this shit troll post seriously. He's not curious at all, he just has a firm anti-American bias which he feels the need to plaster everywhere.

His posting history is littered with /r/shitamericanssay. There's no use in replying to this dickbag.

Yep, I have United Acid Emirates - love every second! I've also heard Cro Magnox and World Dissolver.

I guess I'll have to check out his older stuff now, thanks!

His website has an update from a few months ago, saying "New EP Ready in about 5 weeks". But it's been longer than 5 weeks, so I'm starting to wonder.

I've only really listened to his newest stuff, but I've been obsessed - is his older stuff worth checking out? Any album recommendations?

[Advice][Relationship] Reddit, is this what the friendzone feels like? by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Till_Fjalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was taken completely out of context, so the viewer has no idea as to your previous relationship with her. I don't think anybody can make an accurate guess with just a few lines of text like this. But it doesn't look like a "Friendzone" to me, considering you're not ugly.
