Question: Joy Inducing Playlist

heavenstobetsy — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:00:29 -0800

What songs sound like joy to you?

I've been given a challenge. Make a mix cd including music spanning the decades which "sound like joy".

The examples given are modern but older songs are great, too. For example, The Shins - Simple Song, Guillemots - Trains to Brazil, Imagine Dragons - It's Time.

So, what songs sound like joy and just make you happy?

Stompy Jones, by Duke Ellington with Johnny Hodges and Sweets Edison. It begins exquisitely tasty, with solos on alto sax, trumpet and guitar, then Duke solos beginning with restraint but ending with ferocious pounding, and then it ends with everyone riffing behind Sweets on trumpet for an ecstatic finish.

A bunch of my suggestions have already been covered. I'd also add:
The Village People's "Go West" (also covered by Pet Shop Boys)
Indigo Girls' "Hammer and a Nail" is great "get up and do something" song.
"No Time at All" from "Pippin"

Does classical count? Holst's "Jupiter: Bringer of Jollity" is one of the most joyous pieces of music I've heard.

I've described Sigur Ross's "Hoppipolla" as a "musical blessing" for its habit of lending a beautiful, inspirational feel to already well-done videos. See, e.g., Planet Earth. Gets me every time.

Also: "Baba Yetu," the celebrated main theme for Civilization IV. A Swahili choral version of The Lord's Prayer, it won the first Grammy for a video game tune. See this rendition by a Tanzanian children's choir to see the joy in action.

The most purely joyful for me would be Dmitri Shostakovich, Prelude and Fugue N° 7 in A Major -- especially the fugue, which begins around 1:08 in this recording by Keith Jarrett. Ashkenazy's interpretation is also beautiful.

Certain songs make me feel joyful, but I suspect it has more to do with personal associations than with the actual sound of the thing:
Laura Nyro: Save the Country
