Music for an Easter Weekend
Two meditative pieces which go well with the contemplative nature of Easter weekend, though neither of them has precisely to do with Easter itself.
Classical violinist Nicola Benedetti plays The Lark Ascending, which she has recorded on her album Fantasie.
Julie Fowlis sings the lament/song in praise of Calum, called Do Chalum. She has recorded this on her album Gach Sgeul / Every Story.

I like Nicola Benedetti as talent violinist, its nice to hear how she play it, especially in her georgeous albums. Thanks for your share post mrs Kerry.
This music was exactly what I needed this morning. Thanks for sharing.
I love them both, but Julie literally brought me to tears. What a beautiful voice, wonderful song. You're right, perfect for Easter weekend.
I love both of these selections. Thanks so much for the suggestions.
Very pretty, very contemplative and relaxing. Mindful.
