Sound of Music


Ilike to have some soft music playing while I work. It soothes my mind and calms my emotions. Jeffrey Michael is one pianist that I will never get tired of. My most favourite piece of his is Sundial Dreams and After the Storm.

Right now, in anticipation of Christmas, I listen to his Winter Spirits while I work. My favourite of this CD? God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is the one.
It's much too early but I can't help saying...Merry Christmas!

I like soft music too but I don't listen to music when I work. At home, the kids play pop music all day long. hiaz

jam said...

No, it not too early. You can hear christmas song in all the shopping complexes now.

I can't do work or study while listening to music. I can't even sleep while listening to music (even instrumental). I'm a silent type of girl (read: need lots of concentration) hi hi hi...but while cleaning the house or cook, I like listening to music.

Hyvää joulua then...like the Finns say "Merry Xmas" he he he...

surjit said...

Soft music surely soothes our mind.I like to listen.
God bless.

I'm just like Amel... I'm a silent gal... I cant study if I've got music at the background. However, I love to listen to music while doing housework or when I'm alone shopping or doing grocery.

Did I tell you that I played the piano? However, don't ask me to play now. I wasted all my daddy's money... haiz....

I would like to listen to the CD that you recommend here. By looking at the cover of the CD. I think I will love the songs. I'm so into this kind of Winter Spirits. I love it... I think Amel will know why I like Winter, she always makes me envy with her Winter photos..... hehehehe ;p

Hi Ting,

I can't take pop music. They give me headaches. Maybe it's a sign that I am no longer young. :-)

WaterLearner said...

Jam,

I have not been shopping these days. Shopping complexes are already playing them? Haha.. No worries, I am going shopping with mummy tomorrow!!

WaterLearner said...

Amel,

So you are the quiet type huh? Thanks for your wishes in Finnish .. Here's to you ..

Sheng Dan Kuai Le (Chinese)
Feliz Navidad (Spanish)
Frohes Weilnacht (German)

Blessings!

WaterLearner said...

Hi Surjit,

Thanks for your comments. It's good to see you. BTW, there is some delay in my promise to you. I might only be able to do it on Sunday for you. Staying over at my mum's places till Saturday. Sorry!

WaterLearner said...

Hi Amei79,

Thanks for the visit! I can't agree more with you. Music has exactly the same effect on me. At times when I really need concentration to analyze some reports though ... The best and only music is ... Silence.

Blessings!

WaterLearner said...
