I remember watching videos by this group during the pandemic. The music was very comforting. Thanks for posting the videos! :)

I've been listening to VOCES8 since early last winter. These three videos are some of my favorites.

My sister discovered this one, I think Ashtown fans especially will enjoy it. {ym}:grin:

I've just been listening (repeatedly!) to this piano solo by English composer Howard Goodall, called "Shackleton's Cross". It was inspired by a painting of the memorial cross to the Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton on South Georgia Island and is such a simple, beautiful, evocative tune:

I just want to mention a piece of music that gets me every time, which also incidentally reminds me of Narnia! Specifically, I wish they would use it in the film of the Magician's Nephew if that ever happens, because a section of it is gorgeous for the transition between London and the Wood.

It's Alma Deutscher's Siren Sounds Waltz. Classical music, at Carnegie Hall. She was fourteen at the time. It does not sound like the music of a fourteen year old. She does do quite a bit of talking at the start, explaining it, skip through a bit to the music if you want.

I also like Amira Willighagen's 'Follow Your Heart' for Narnia - I picture it as a discussion between Susan and the ideas of Narnia, as she's falling away a bit. It just seems to fit. Amira was thirteen at the album's release (there are other excellent songs on there too).

Back with more music because why not!

Some of my favourite songs right now are the ones which sound and feel like their own little movie.

"If less is more, this is the most I've ever been". Powerful stuff.

Back with more music.

For any Switchfoot fans on this site - Jon Foreman (their lead singer) does some solo stuff as well. He recently came out with a new album called 'Departures'.

I've included a somewhat Narnian-sounding song off there!

Might not be everyone's style, but this guy has my heartbeat figured out. Just wanted to share! Kind of folky/cinematic.

I heard this beautiful piece of music on the car radio earlier and had to look it up when I got home — it's A Chloris by Reynaldo Hahn, originally a romantic song, but this was an instrumental version with Sol Gabetta on cello. I've just found the exact same recording on her YouTube channel, so thought others might like to listen as well!
