You'd Be So Easy To Love! (101 Strings Orchestra) HD Romantic & Beautiful Easy Listening Music!

Professor Howdy, the devoted archivist of musical beauty and serenity, has once again gifted his vast audience a breathtaking collection of melody and imagery — a romantic short album overflowing with charm, nostalgia, and grace. His newest YouTube upload, “You’d Be So Easy to Love! (101 Strings Orchestra) HD Romantic & Beautiful Easy Listening Music!”, is a radiant bouquet of three exquisite selections: “You’d Be So Easy to Love” by the 101 Strings Orchestra, “You Were Meant for Me” by the Romantic Strings Orchestra (Reader’s Digest), and “Sleepers Awake” (Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme) by Johann Sebastian Bach, magnificently conducted by Eugene Ormandy. Each piece flows seamlessly into the next, enveloped by Professor Howdy’s signature panoramic HD nature scenes that glisten with color and tranquility. 🌹 1. “You’d Be So Easy to Love” – 101 Strings Orchestra Originally written by the brilliant Cole Porter in 1934, “You’d Be So Easy to Love” was first intended for the Broadway musical Anything Goes, though it was later used in the 1936 film Born to Dance. Its lyrics express a tender yearning — the wistful dream of a love that seems both irresistible and just out of reach. The 101 Strings Orchestra, founded in 1957 under the creative direction of David L. Miller, transforms Porter’s song into a lush orchestral reverie. Their velvety violins, gentle harp tones, and warm brass harmonies elevate the melody into something ethereal — romantic, refined, and effortlessly beautiful. This arrangement, brimming with tenderness and poise, glows like candlelight on a quiet evening — the very essence of easy listening elegance. 💞 2. “You Were Meant for Me” – Romantic Strings (Reader’s Digest) Composed by Nacio Herb Brown with lyrics by Arthur Freed in 1929, “You Were Meant for Me” was immortalized by Gene Kelly in the classic 1952 film Singin’ in the Rain. Its message is pure and timeless: two souls destined for one another, bound by fate and affection. The Romantic Strings Orchestra, created by Reader’s Digest during the golden age of orchestral popular music in the 1960s, brings this love song to life with sweeping violins and tender cellos that seem to sigh with emotion. Their interpretation shimmers with grace and devotion, embodying the bliss of true love serenely realized. It is music that doesn’t merely accompany romance — it creates it. 🌅 3. “Sleepers Awake (Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme)” – Johann Sebastian Bach / Eugene Ormandy To close this elegant trio, Professor Howdy includes a piece of divine splendor: “Sleepers Awake”, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1731 as part of his Cantata No. 140. The piece, both reverent and radiant, calls believers to spiritual readiness — to awaken from earthly slumber and embrace the coming of the Bridegroom, Christ. In the hands of the legendary Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, this sacred masterpiece glows with celestial majesty. The strings soar heavenward, the harmonies resound with quiet reverence, and the listener is gently transported to realms of peace and contemplation. This performance is not only a work of art but an act of worship — a fitting and noble finale to an album of love and longing. 🌿 Professor Howdy’s Inspiring Vision Professor Howdy, known to thousands of faithful followers, has lovingly crafted over 4,000 high-definition music videos that celebrate the golden age of easy listening — featuring orchestras such as Percy Faith, Mantovani, Ray Conniff, and the 101 Strings. His videos pair these nostalgic recordings with awe-inspiring scenes of nature: glowing sunsets, cascading waterfalls, blooming gardens, and tranquil beaches — each chosen to mirror the mood of the music. More than an archivist, he is a missionary of beauty and hope, using art to uplift hearts and remind viewers of the simple, eternal truths of faith, love, and joy. His YouTube channel has reached over 31 million views, quietly nurturing what he calls “The Charlie Kirk Great Awakening” — a revival of moral clarity and divine inspiration through music and imagery. ✨ A Call to Share the Beauty This new video is a perfect example of Professor Howdy’s heart for harmony — blending romance, faith, and timeless artistry in a way few can. Viewers are warmly encouraged to “like” the video, leave a heartfelt comment sharing which of the three songs touched them most, and share this album with friends, family, teachers, neighbors, and fellow students. Every click, comment, and share helps YouTube’s algorithms recognize and promote this radiant work, ensuring that more hearts around the world can be lifted by its message of love and beauty. In the end, “You’d Be So Easy to Love” is not merely a collection of songs — it’s a journey through love’s many dimensions: romantic, human, and divine. Professor Howdy once again invites us to pause, listen, and be moved by the music of the heart — a reminder that beauty, when shared, becomes eternal.

It was with great anticipation that I began viewing the videos by Professor Howdy on YouTube and his two Blogs!

The Professor is simply amazing at retelling an
old story in a contemporary manner with exquisite
Classical Music accompanied with H.D. Photographs & sprinkled with alluring, charming, classy and bewitching Video Clips! Rather than containing simply one music selection, the Professor includes up to four popular music sensations on each 15 minute video!

The High Definition photographs were beautiful
beyond words and supplemented with those was
the most heavenly music one will ever hear! With a creative genius' ability to carry us around the globe and to fall unrestrainedly in love with every beautiful creature shown, the Professor lifts & relaxes not only our spirits but our emotions as well.

One may ask why so many beautiful women
are incapsulated into each video but these
are about love & the celebration of pure
romance which saves coitus until after
the marriage vows - Something Hollywood
and most media despise! But for the fortunate
few, a lifetime of love with one partner
may be actualized for a lifetime! Then
& only then does a Honeymoon become
intriguing, truly electrifying, sensational,
riveting & spellbinding!

Each viewer may substitute his or herself
into these video stories and become part
of the rapturous novels. The male viewer
becomes the romancer of the beauty within
the ratiocination story while the female viewer
becomes the romanced interminably!

Now with some 500+ videos available, one can
enter the world of musical enchantment similar
to Narnia or Middle Earth with spell bounding
emotional attachment to each world musically
presented. Of special note while viewing each
musical video, it is often nearly impossible at times
to determine whether a photograph or video is
being used during a particular segment.

Each pulchritudinous video tells it own allegorical fifteen minute novel with statuesque and emblematic awareness! Remember that his Music Videos are defined as theater of the mind!

Part of the Genius also in these opulent & ostentatious videos are not only in the Transitions that change beautifully in slow motion but the charmingly, daintily, delicately & delightful photographs & videos that ameliorate the musical narrative!

Only one with low intelligence quotient or attention deficit will not be relaxed, cheered & entertained by these astounding video novelettes. Medical studies have shown that these videos even lower one's blood pressure when needed.

This magic world may be entered through the
portholes of the Wardrobe, Narnia, YouTube,
FaceBook or the Professor's Blogs! Enjoy the
musical adventure (and be sure to click the
proper buttons below the screen to view with
your computer's full screen). Oh, and his Videos
when viewed on Apple's new iPad are simply
astounding!

Moonlight Sonata! (Beethoven) HD Classical Music Nature Video Album!

Professor Howdy’s newest upload, “Moonlight Sonata! (Beethoven)”, is a breathtaking synthesis of divine music and ethereal beauty — a creation that seems to hover gracefully between heaven and earth.

In this exquisitely produced HD video, the timeless strains of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata unfold against a tapestry of serene natural scenes — moonlit waters shimmering like liquid silver, tranquil forests bathed in soft mist, and majestic mountain vistas touched by dawn’s first golden light. The effect is utterly mesmerizing, enveloping the listener in an atmosphere of stillness, wonder, and profound emotional reflection.

Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, composed in 1801, remains one of the most beloved and hauntingly beautiful pieces in all of classical music. Dedicated to his young pupil, Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, the sonata’s gentle, wistful melody carries an almost spiritual melancholy — as though Beethoven poured his soul, his longing, and his unspoken love into every resonant note. Though he was already losing his hearing, Beethoven’s genius shines luminously in this masterpiece, where each chord seems to whisper of eternity and the deep mysteries of the human heart.

Professor Howdy, a tireless curator of beauty and peace, continues his noble mission to preserve and share the world’s most cherished music with extraordinary care and devotion. Over the years, he has lovingly created more than four thousand HD music videos — each one a labor of love — uniting great orchestras, choirs, and classical masters with magnificent scenes from nature. His YouTube channel has become a global sanctuary of serenity and inspiration, viewed in every nation on Earth — even in the frozen reaches of Antarctica — a testament to the universal power of beauty and harmony.

The Moonlight Sonata video exemplifies Professor Howdy’s rare gift for pairing sight and sound in perfect unity. The music drifts tenderly through the landscapes like a sigh from the stars, making it ideal for moments of reflection or romance. His videos are perfectly suited for a romantic candlelight dinner, a tranquil reception office, or as a gentle sleep aid for children and adults alike. Many admirers have noted that listening to such refined classical compositions can heighten concentration, calm the emotions, and, as research suggests, even enhance both children’s and adults’ IQ — awakening parts of the mind that respond to order, pattern, and beauty.

Through his inspired artistry, Professor Howdy has become not only a guardian of musical heritage but a gentle guide toward peace and mindfulness in a hurried world. His Moonlight Sonata presentation is more than a performance — it is an experience of celestial grace, where the soul pauses, the heart listens, and time itself seems to stand still beneath the tranquil glow of Beethoven’s eternal moonlight.

Fascination! (The Percy Faith Orchestra!) HD Easy Listening Music Nature Video Album!

Professor Howdy’s newest YouTube masterpiece, “Fascination! (The Percy Faith Orchestra!)”, radiates an aura of timeless beauty and romantic splendor. Set against breathtaking high-definition scenes of nature’s most exquisite wonders, this video envelops the listener in a warm and luxurious atmosphere of serenity and joy. Every frame shimmers with color and calm—verdant meadows, rippling waters, and glowing sunsets—each perfectly synchronized to Percy Faith’s graceful and tender orchestral arrangement.

The song “Fascination” itself, immortalized through decades of love stories and wedding waltzes, is a melody of pure enchantment. Percy Faith, the master of lush orchestral textures, transforms this beloved tune into a silken dreamscape of sweeping strings and softly lilting rhythms.

His orchestra performs with exquisite precision and heartfelt emotion, blending nostalgia and tenderness in every resonant note.

Professor Howdy’s visual artistry heightens the experience profoundly. His careful pairing of Faith’s music with majestic natural imagery creates a nearly spiritual harmony between sight and sound. Each scene flows gently into the next—majestic mountains, shimmering lakes, blossoming fields—all mirroring the music’s romantic rise and fall. The effect is both hypnotic and uplifting, a reminder of the world’s enduring beauty and of the power of music to soothe and inspire.

Through this splendid presentation, Professor Howdy continues his legacy as a curator of peace, romance, and artistry. His devotion to preserving the golden age of easy listening and presenting it anew in dazzling HD is nothing short of remarkable. “Fascination” is more than a song—it is an experience of elegance, nostalgia, and transcendent beauty, lovingly shared by one of YouTube’s most devoted guardians of classic musical grace.
