Nearly 2 years ago my mother died after a very long fight against cancer. Well, she was an amazing person. She even chose the songs to be played in church during her funeral and told the priest what he had to talk about. Anyway, I often think about how my funeral might look like. I like the idea of choosing the songs for it. My mother was more into the bible than I am, that's why I don't like to hear psalms and typical church songs during my funeral. Since this is the IONA mailing list, I'd like to ask you which songs of IONA might be fitting for that situation? Which songs and why? Sorry for my 'weird' thoughts, but that's just me .. Andre P.S.: Have a look at my page to see my Top 5 (no, Top 10) artists. - ------------------------------------------------------- Andre Wilms Experiments Division Programming Group European Synchrotron Radiation Facility Boite Postale 220 38043 Grenoble Cedex France Direct Line: +33 (0)4 76 88 22 69 Fax: +33 (0)4 76 88 25 42 Email: wilms@esrf.fr URL: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/6441/ - ------------------------------------------------------- ______________ To unsubscribe send an e-mail command to musictus@musictus.com In the body of the message type ONLY the following: unsubscribe iona or visit http://www.gospel.it/iona/mailingl.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 16:26:15 +0000 From: Clive Hayball Subject: Re: iona Heaven's Bright Sun . _ _ _ |(_)| )(_| mailto:musictus@musictus.com Discussion List http://www.gospel.it/iona/ _______________ Roger.W.Jones wrote: > When I saw Troy play those Uilleann Pipes this year at Va.

I have recently seen Uilleann Pipes played live at a Capercaillie concert, but I have to agree that Troy is my favourite player - he seems to be able to express very deep images and emotions through his playing, almost a direct connection between soul and machine ! - -- ****************************************************************** * Clive Hayball Next Generation Products, * * Nortel plc (Harlow Labs.), * * London Road, * * Harlow, U.K. * * Tel.

I think we can lose sight of the fact that music in its self is neutral. We can however rearrange the same notes to produce somrthing that is uplifting or depressing. I have had several discussions with fellow christians who shy away from certain types of music because the person that wrote it was not a believer, but the music is great for such things as meditation. Music is music, its what we use it for that counts.

Which songs and why? It may be a weird topic to many, Andre, but I actually have thought about this. I often feel I'd want "Today" as a song at my funeral. I don't want a dirge, and "Today" is a very celebrative song. But also I can read the most lyrics as if they're saying I've passed on to a better life, except for the one line "underneath the sun." As I recall, Joanne Hogg had a near tragic experience before recording "Today." I recall reading something to that effect on the other list. Does anyone remember the story? You may also want to consider the song "Beyond These Shores."

The sound of the Uilleann is a lower sounding tone, therefore not so high pitched and shrill. I also have been listening to HBS more then the studio recordings. I can't put my finger on why I like it more, but I do. I think it's the fact that they change things alittle on some of the songs. I really like the ending of "When I Survey." It is so awesome.

It has been my special hymn ever since I sang it in the Church of All Nations at Gethsemane (my favourite place in the whole world) on my first trip to the Holy Land. I was so thrilled when Terl included it on his 'Psalm' album, sung by Joanne. It is wonderful!
