REFORMATION BIBLES AND POLITICS OF THE DAY
Politics of the day affect how Reformation Bibles turned out. There are reasons why the 1611 AKJB is the crowning jewel of Reformation Bibles. The background music is Vivaldi's concerti "Spring." It's not period specific, but topically it symbolizes renewal.

i did struggle to hear this one, because of the music playing behind it, but subtitles weren't clear either. it's slightly better with headphones. --- re: where to find some music. I think hymns and songs have to be listened to very carefully and meditated upon, vetted. Otherwise, things can be said in them that become doctrine or opinions to us. like the rapture, or every person on the planet being God's children or something (!?!??!). i thought of this from philipians "8 Finally, brethren, whatsoeuer things are true, whatsoeuer things are honest, whatsoeuer things are iust, whatsoeuer things are pure, whatsoeuer things are louely, whatsoeuer things are of good report: if there bee any vertue, and if there bee any praise, thinke on these things:9 Those things which ye haue both learned and receiued, and heard, and seene in mee, doe: and the God of peace shall be with you. " also the psalms are great to sing or think about, and have you tried singing inside yourself to God? also singing verses in the bible as you read them, praying about them maybe well, i never really got into christian music (i was kinda grossed-out), but i did find this radio. https://www.oldchristianradio.com/ slow/calm music mostly, vocal and instrumental. not affiliated in any way. solos, duets, some groups. very beautiful harp music also. they also have a phone app. they sell music also, CDS and stuff in the USA. they write: "...The musical emphasis on this station is of a Godly spiritual nature. Music that appeals mainly to "the flesh" is NOT played here), This station's music format is: Sacred/Traditional Christian with NO outside programming. " i did have a fast-classical music playlist, which was very upbeat and powerful, but upon listening to it again after a few years, i can no longer reccommend it as-is, it just doesn't sound right anymore - the jarring tension, pomp and potential fiendish darkness became evident to me. it makes me sad thinking about it now. as for the history or personality of the authors/composers, i dont know anything about them.
I am struggling with music also. It used to be my life. Of course being from the rock/punk/jam band scene, I gave that all up. Seeking out something acceptable to get the acoustic guitar back out and sing with the kids. Thinking back, there is some older Gospel music that I might revisit to see if it fits the bill. If not I will change the lyrics to match God's word!
I was convicted to quit listening to any so called Christian music a few years ago.
To start with, I would listen to anything by Bach. He was a God-fearing man, and wrote more high quality music than any other composer. I avoid so-called Christian music, as it tends to be what I call generic-god music.
