Top Ten Musical selections to read by AND Top Ten songs that should be books

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

February 16: This week is all about music and books.

Well, since we’ve been given some latitude on this week’s topic, I will offer two separate lists:

First, Ten music selections I like to read to, inspired by Emma’s Bookery take on the musical Top Ten Tuesday. 

Mostly instrumentals, as songs with lyrics distract when I’m reading.

Hawaiian slack key guitar 

Gettysburg Soundtrack

Dave Grusin – The Orchestral Album

 










Chariots of Fire Soundtrack

Little Women Soundtrack
 

The Godfather Soundtrack

 










Aaron Copeland
 

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Soundtrack

Allegria – Cirque de Soleil

And second songs that should be books:
