“Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul” - Plato

So I really SHOULD be doing homework. But I just have to talk about one of my secret obsessions... classical music. When homework is out of hand or I feel there is a lot of work to be done, classical music always soothes my turbulent soul. When I don't know what to do or how I am going to get through something, some how listening to classical music always gets me through.


So since I play the cello, I am sure you know what type of classical music is my favorite... YES! You got it- those that exemplify the amazing-ness of the cello. So one of my favorite modern cellists is Steven Sharp Nelson. His albums "Tender Mercies" and "Sacred Cello" are indescribable. So he also does a lot of duets with the great Jon Schmidt, and I LOVE them. So I am including them. The first one is probably the most peaceful, the others are just FUN. Please listen and enjoy. You may not like classical music but listen to each for like a minute and you may fall in love with this cellist like I have. Enjoy:

Ya for cello parts! They are such a great pair. Music has always had such a great impact on my mood, so if you ever need to just feel at peace I highly recommend classical music. And for those of you that just LOVE the glorious sound of the cello listen to Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major. This song is SO fun to play and just sounds great. Well I realize you may not all be die hard classical fans, but hey, I tried.
