My Air Playlist

Merry meet! Willow here again!

I am a musician. To me music isn’t just a job or a hobby, or even a ion of mine, music is a part of my identity. As such, I decided to compile a playlist for you representing some of my favorite songs from some of my favorite artists across many genres. So please sit back, close your eyes, and feel the wind caress your face as I take you on an #TeamTrials

NIMROD from ENIGMA VARIATIONS

Edward Elgar

This is by far my favorite orchestral piece ever written. When i listen to this piece it takes me to a place that no other orchestral piece takes me. It was later arranged for 8 piece choir named “Lux Aeterna”.

LET the BRIGHT SERAPHIM from SAMSON

George Frideric Handel

Samson was originally written to be performed as an oratorio, in a concert setting, but it many times it has been staged as an opera. I love this aria and I learned to sing it in my younger years when I was performing in operas.

FLY AWAY LULLABY from FAIRY LULLABIES

Gary Stadler

I love this song because it has an ethereal, otherworldly sound to it. This is a great song to meditate to!

EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT from TO THE MOON

Laura Shigihara

There are so many video game soundtracks that have stunning music (looking at you Elder Scrolls). I chose this song because it is one of those songs that helps me when I’m feeling blue.

DEFYING GRAVITY from WICKED

Stephen Schwartz

What can I say about this song. First of all, it comes from an amazing, modern musical. I included this song because when I am knocked down, when I feel beaten, when I feel hopeless, I play this tune. This song has helped me through so many difficult times in my life.

THE RAVEN

Ømnia

I absolutely ADORE Ømnia!! They blow me away with their musical abilities and the number of instruments they can play!

ANGEL

Aerosmith

I absolutely had to put an Aerosmith song in here. Aerosmith is always a good idea!

ANGEL of the MORNING

JuiceNewton

This song brings back a lot of nostalgia from when I was a little girl. It was one of my favorites growing up. Of course now, we can’t forget Shaggy’s cover of this song’s chorus. That’s also a great song to listen to!

WILD ANGELS

Martina McBride

This is another song that brings me nostalgia. I performed this song when I was in my high school show choir. I love singing this because it shows off my lower range.

WALKING in the AIR

Celtic Woman

I think my favorite genre is CELTIC music. There is nothing that makes my heart happier. I saw Celtic Woman in concert a few years ago and their performance was on point! It was spectacular!

Of course these are just a few songs of the MANY songs I enjoy listening to. I hope while listening to this playlist your surroundings were transformed into a place in your dreams, a place of peace and happiness. Happy listening!!
