Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostFocusing on the negative, which is my wont, I agree strongly with the above, esp. the endless I Believe in Christ, which has eight verses that McConkie deviously turned into four by simply bridging pairs of verses together. When it's used as the horribly misnamed "rest hymn" between speakers, I being contemplating my exit from the Church, or at least the meeting, while singing about my faith."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostA special musical number featuring piano, violin, solo, duet, quartet, choir, etc is great. Rest hymns are an abomination and should be abolished.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman

Originally posted by Copelius View PostI've always thought the ideal sacrament meeting music schedule is choir one week, a special number another, and an intermediate hymn the other. Five week months could have another musical number or a special choir such as youth, women or men. Wards may be hard pressed to get more than a monthly musical number besides the choir so the intermediate hymn is a nice once a month feature, so long as the music moves along well enough to keep peoples interest and attention. Note the examples used for intermediate hymns in conference.

Could we just compromise and make it an hour long meeting instead of 1:10?"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

My faves:
Primary - My Heavenly Father Loves Me (The essence of life)
Smack - Come Thou Oh See See (it was a lot funnier 15 years ago)
Sacrament - In Humility Our Savior (I hummed it to myself almost every Sunday while deployed to Bosnia before taking the sacrament)
On acoustical guitar - Redeemer of Israel (Jared Coleman could do a mean rendition of this before he quit West Point to go to the BYU and onto NYU law)
Christmas - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (Uplifting and optimistic)
Historical/Cultural - Come Come Ye Saints (I'm Mormon and I'm Proud!)
By MoTab - Come Thou Fount
David Archuleta - Be Still My SoulDo Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!
-General George S. Patton
I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

And depending on the soloist,
"Amazing Grace."
and not exactly a hymn but a quite moving "hymn-like" song, "Hallelujah":

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
