A beautiful Christmas Gift to us. André Rieu - Home for Christmas

Just in time for sitting in that cozy chair with my old favorite blanket...

Dona Anderson

I hope you love Andrés concerts too.

This is a special time of year when we're indoors, seeing the snow fall, watching those old Christmas movies or listening to your favorite songs again and getting together with family.  

The concert above is awesome so Enjoy and share with your family and friends as well.  We all need some good entertainment to help us relax and feel like normal life has returned again.

It just might be one that becomes your every year treat. 

PS. I got to go to the movie theater several months ago for a new concert the orchestra performed that absolutely filled me with joy. The audience in the movie didn't want it to end and neither did us watching.

Honestly I don't think the musicians wanted to leave either but they must have been exhausted.

I'm hoping Santa brings me the DVD for Christmas. 

André Rieu Happy Together.

Summer of Music

Week 6

Ok,  yes I was up cheering her on ...

Glad I didn't break anything.

Have a listen!

I'm lucky I have my office/computer room to myself upstairs that 

allows me to get my crazy dance on every once in a while.

I think I was boxing or something like that, anyway glad no one 

could see other than my support team who were asleep.

 

Were You up cheering too?

Here they are. 

I hope your favorite is on this list.

André Rieu - My Heart Will Go On

Spectacular performance.  

Yes, me again - I was on the hunt for things

to share with You and I found this!

I've always been a Huge fan and got to attend a live performance years

ago when his orchestra came to Vancouver. 

Amazing night! 

It's wonderful that they continue to surprise us with these beautiful mix of music and art.

I still have another concert on my bucket list. 

The video is peaceful yet energizing.

From the beginning it is all beautiful.

I got shivers for a moment and went back to the titanic movie.

The smooth beautiful performance of the skaters was very peaceful, loved it.

I loved the mix of background scenes moving from the skaters to the orchestra, to the buildings in the back which kind of had the sense of grounding.

All this and the words from the song in my head that the 

Heart Will Go On.

 

PS I'm sure this will give us some peace ... We may need a few repeats.

Please take care of yourselves so

we can meet again.

The Sound of Silence 

The Sound of Silence | Simon & Garfunkel (Harp Cover)

  

Dona Anderson

Thank You beautiful young lady.

When I first heard this version of the song I completely softened and after the last couple of years I guess it was needed.

It was Simple, Beautiful and quickly moved deep into my heart. 

I felt like I had angels from above beside me, and reminded me of the angels I had and have here on earth that I'm very thankful for.

PS. I went searching in my book Moving Forward from the Heart to find a few words to finish off this post. I didn't have to go far to find this ending to the meditation, Lullaby of Peace.

Listen to these beautiful notes softly

playing your lullaby, your smooth

soft sweet notes of peace ...

The Great Bell Chant (The End Of Suffering)

Dona Anderson

Hello, Hi and great to have you visit here today.  

Thank You for letting me come into your inbox, your day and space. 

My 5th Summer of Music starts next week and I wanted it to be a bit different this year.  

so - this year we're travelling to far off places.

We're visiting parts of our wonderful World, our Earth to see some of the many many Gifts She gives us.

For over a year we all have been affected by much stress, sorrow, hardships and many words have become new to us and many changes made.

It was I guess our turn to learn some of what our parents, grandparents, and those before them felt and experienced.

Our inter-generational memory has been updated.

Over the Summer You will find these words in the titles.

Amazing Beautiful Breathtaking Secret

But first I want to share this video to
help us relax and breathe.

The Great Bell Chant (the End of Suffering)

Summer of Music starts next week.

You will get to see a few of the Gifts from where we all call Home.

The Mountains and Rivers

Sky and Stars

Flowers and Birds

Animals and Fish

Forests and Fields 

This World is where all of us live as

well as our Dreams.

I hope over the Summer we will connect more to all our Earth has to offer us - her people, places, nature and more.

How many words would it take to describe it all?

Here are just a few ...

 Amazing  Beautiful  Breathtaking   

Eye Opening  Loving  Graceful  Nourishing

Share some of yours in the comments below.

PS. the 2 pictures I added to this post are from

my part of the World.

It all starts next week,

Hi, how are you today.

Here's what my Oops was about.

I almost forgot to post the top 3 from 2020

Summer of Music before the 2021 selections

start in a couple of weeks.

So a quick swap and here they are and for the first time we had a tie for 3rd place spot. (at least it was at the time of my writing this)

here goes ...

Link here to one in 3rd  and here's the other one

Happy to see both of these on the list. Love this one, check out #2

I knew this next one would be in first place.

The Winner  is! It really connected to 2020. 

All are wonderful.

there's always Music somewhere

I'm slowly learning to play the Cello. 

How am I doing?

It depends on the day and I'll need many more years. 

And, it doesn't help when I don't practice. 

After the songs You May 

Need a few minutes to relax, you can with this post.

Josh Groban - Bridge Over Troubled Water (Live from Madison Square Garden)

Why Wait
do it now.

Dona Anderson

I found this video a while back and when I saw this day without a post yet, I did the deed and made it for today.

I don't know how many times I find something wonderful like this and it sits around for a while - so I said to myself, I think someone needs it now.

Josh Groban is wonderful and this is an amazing group of musicians.

Enjoy!

Fills the Heart.

A beautiful song to start off this second month ...

It's always wonderful to enjoy and feel the energy of a live concert and to watch the audience respond as the musicians and singers lead us through the songs that build up into those ending moments.

We seem to cheer each other on as we merge together into the love for the songs as the words and music come together to entertain us during those special few hours.

There's many offerings of this inspirational song but since I had the opportunity to attend a Celtic Woman concert years ago I wanted  to share this with you.

I hope you enjoy this weeks selection and
 continue to be part of our 2020 Summer of Music
 for a few more weeks through August.

Now that I'm learning to play the Cello I'm finding lots of incredible videos for me to love and some to share.

No don't worry - I won't share too many or you'll think I'm obsessed.

I'll let you know.
