What Music do you listen to?
For me, it depends on what I am doing but it basically comes down to two genres of music; Classical and Country. Yes, sometimes I do listen to other genres, but that is very few and very far between.
Yes, I know it sounds like a weird mix, but it is what I like. I never got into the “rock” genre other the “southern rock” which can, in some cases, get close to country.
As I said before, it depends on what I am doing. 95% of the time, however, it is classical music. The only real time I listen to country is when I am driving for an extended period of time and do not want to fall asleep. Classical music tends to relax me.
When I am relaxing, I listen exclusively to classical music with preference for the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods. There are some from the Romantic Period composers (i.e Wagner, Dvorak, Bruch, and Tchaikovsky) but they are few and far between.
There is one time where I will listen to a specific genre and that is when I am praying. At that time, I like listening to Baroque music. It is both relaxing and, unlike Renaissance Music which does has many sacred works, is mostly instrumental music and very little vocal in composition. When I pray, vocals in music distracts me from my prayers. When is strictly instrumental music, I can concentrate.
As for the other genres of music, I do not listen to them since much of it these days gravitates towards the immoral and obscene.
