For classic, just classic, not the music of today.
This is pure gospel, music sacred choral meant to be sung in church services.
not only Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and company man lives as music is concerned .....
Some time ago I told how, during our visits to Scotland, we know this kind of music while attending church services with his organist, the choir and parishioners joining the edges. And, of course, how we arrived ...
One of the hymns that we first heard there is this that I bring you today. The lyrics and music are so expressive, so direct noble and as simple as coming immediately.
"Put Your Shoulder To The Wheel" is a song that is based a little on the harsh experiences of the first American adventurers traveling across this vast country in search of a better life.
At the time of the conquest of America by the pioneers, especially during the nineteenth century, wagon trains very long (sometimes over 500), livestock and people traveled from east to west the country for weeks, bringing all possessions and their families looking for a place to settle down and get ahead.
The journey was long and hard not only to endure the skirmishes with Indians and dangerous animals, and all kinds of inclement weather ... and they had to deal with thieves and criminals lurking these rows of passengers with their carts filled with all kinds of things that took advantage to steal, rape women, abducting children etc. These people were organized and grouped in rows of cars to help and protect, even found some people if they found the right place.
In short, we know from history and film and tv.
When -thing quite commonly seen because of the mud the huge wheels of the carts were jammed and the horses could not get them out of berengenal, people joined to help those who needed it, and hands and shoulders pushed with all his might to release the cart from the mud and to follow the path.
The phrase "put your shoulder to the wheel", that is, as you know, "pitch in", "get down to work" ...
Over time it has become a cliche that English has come to mean just that, making a great effort large to move forward, however.
The author of both the lyrics and the music of this anthem, William Lamartine Thompson.
Born in a small town in Ohio, USA, in 1847, studied music in Boston during his childhood and adolescence, and even got to travel to Germany to complete his musical education. They
him being a good person, very quiet and very good neighbor. I used to always walk with a pencil and paper in hand, as pointed out everything I saw or heard that he liked, from an inspirational phrase, to the tune of a nursery rhyme. Devoted himself to writing music, mainly religious, married and had a son. In your local church services was active as organist and composer of hymns, being a well-known in life. It seems that during a trip to England sick, and now back in his country, died a few weeks in 1909.
Little more is known about him ...
The song today is religious themes, but the letter well be applied to any area of \u200b\u200blife, not just have to be religious to find a lot of sense.
This is the letter in English, you can follow while the choir sings.
"The World Has Need of Willing men who wear the worker´s seal
Come, help the good work move along, put your shoulder to the wheel
Put your shoulder to the wheel, push along
Do your duty with a heart full of song
We all have work, let no one shirk, put your shoulder to the wheel.
The Church has need of helping hands, and hearts that know and feel
The work to do is here for you, put your shoulder to the wheel
Put your shoulder to the wheel, push along
Do your duty with a heart full of song
We all have work, let no one shirk, put your shoulder to the wheel.
Then work and watch and fight and pray, with all your might and zeal
Push every worthy work along, put your shoulder to the wheel
Put your shoulder to the wheel, push Along
Do your duty with a heart full of song
We Have all work, let no one shirk, put your shoulder to the wheel ".
And this is the translation:
" The world needs men volunteers who have come forward to working
, let's get honest work to prosper, to work
pitch in, let us not push
fulfill our obligation to our jobs
joy that nobody circumvented, lend a shoulder.
The Church needs helping hands and hearts that know and feel
work waiting for you, please get to work
lend a shoulder let us not push .......( chorus as above)
So work, watch, fight and pray with all your strength and enthusiasm
drives everything worthwhile effort, please get to work
props the shoulder, not push stop ....( chorus) "
The chorus makes this version is the impressive Mormon Tabernacle Choir, for me one of the best.
has a bunch of records that you can find, yes almost everything is religious music.
course I think that one need not be LDS to enjoy this music, right?
If you like to hear more, I can recommend themselves, the songs "You'll Never Walk Alone, "" Let There Be Peace on Earth "," Where Can I Turn for Peace ".... have many more, but they indicated to me that you love me.
