I have always loved music. When I am down, it can lift me up and take me to places I’ve never seen.
Loreena McKennett
Ms. McKennett is an amazing artist. She researches her music and incorporates the traditions and sounds of the area. When I listen to this song, I feel the desert sand, winds, and is the smell of incense in the air. I encourage you to listen to her albums.
Enya

Most people have heard of Enya. She is an enigma that lives in a castle in Ireland. This is one of my favorite songs she has released. You feel like you are floating.

Dan Gibson took nature sounds that he recorded and blended them with music. It is relaxing.
“Forest Cello” is one of my favorite albums from him. It relaxes me and I hear the wind and water in these songs. Here is a song from that album.
Richard Wagner

What an amazing composer! Here is “Ride of the Valkyries” live. This song will give you a boost! You can conquer traffic while listening to this one!
Edvard Grieg

I learned while writing this post, that one of the songs by Edvard Grieg was in a play called “Peer Gynt”. You can read about the play here.

This is “In the Hall of the Mountain” King by Edvard Grieg.
I could go on and on about music and the songs that I like. I encourage you to find some songs that give you a boost when you are feeling down. I’ll admit that most of my classical music knowledge began with this guy.
