Bread of Angels
I thought I had shared this awhile back, but I can’t find it searching through old posts. This is a piece I heard on one of the music stations I listen to while writing. It’s by Stanton Lanier, and it’s called Bread of Angels. This guy used to be a chemist, and then a financial planner. I think his courage to pursue this artistic calling can be an inspiration to all of us who spend our days trapped in jobs that make us (occasionally) want to eat a bullet. Anyway, enjoy the music.
From the YouTube description:
“Bread of Angels” from Stanton Lanier’s 7th album “A Thousand Years” is his heart felt expression of our dependence for daily provision, which is like manna from heaven. Inspired by Psalm 78:24-25, this uplifting melody was recorded with the ethereal vocals of Noah Wilding.

Hi Lora,
I’m so glad you liked it. I love this piece, it can cheer me up after a bad day. It’s just one of those melodies that stays with me, lingering in my subconscious after I hear it.
Just lovely. Perfect for this peaceful night over here.
Thank you for sharing, DD
Sometimes we just need something soothing to decompress from the travails of the day
I’m happy you enjoyed it.
This is beautiful and perfect for quiet at the end of the end.
I love this piece so much. There’s just something about it that really moves me. I’m glad you liked it
How beautiful…just what the doctor ordered.
I hope it helps. Music can be such a balm for my soul.
Speaking of modern classical, can I drop a plug for my beloved nephew? He’s v. good, even if you’re not his auntie:

Very interesting stuff. Christmas Eve must be very dramatic at his house
I could use that to write some post-apoc stuff! ahaha. He’s very talented, indeed.
I think Christmas Eve is based on a painting – I’ve been over their house for the holidays and it’s your basic American baked ham, gifts under the tree affair
Ah, gotcha. It’s funny where inspiration comes from. I got an idea for a story looking at a painting by Pissaro at the Portland Art Museum.
