Pharoah Sanders - Let Us Go into the House of the Lord

from the 1970 album deaf dumb blind

[@stephennajemy3321]

I first heard this beautiful piece just before making my coming of age cross country trip in1973 at the age of 23. We listened to many of Pharaoh Sanders’ songs along the way. One of our main destinations was San Francisco, when it was more vibrant and welcoming than it is today. While there I checked a newspaper to see what musicians were appearing locally. To my delight and amazement Pharaoh Sanders was playing in Berkeley. We went to see him and listen to his performance and even got to talk to him. A magical time!

[@scottphillips8117]

That is a most excellent adventure, Sir

[@pearlbarkley1019]

Stephen.... Yes those were MAGICAL TIMES!!! Thank Goddess God for recording science!!!! Around the time you speak I saw Pharoah in NYC... I was mesmerized then and have been to NOW!!!

[@tonyallen6510]

This give me chills it so moving and peaceful and beautiful 😊🎷👍

serendipity

[@douggbloch]

I so agree

[@a_perfect_human_being]

This must be what passing away sounds like. It’s your opening ceremony! The cheering bells awarding love in smiling billows! The acceptance of what is after, whether it’s nothing, or a pull into our oneness. This is a heart piece.

[@stephennajemy3321]

Well said

[@SeanToner-he4gt]

Crazy you say that because I pictured the same thing

[@lonerspop]

I have zero doubt if there is a heaven, we will hear this right before getting there. To me it’s the greatest piece of music ever imagined by mankind

[@rudolphsherkliff8726]

Rest In Peace Master Pharoah Sanders, You have fulfilled Your Musical Journey,You have Now Entered “The House Of the Lord” 🙏🏾🎷🎶🎼🎵

[@ravishah3269]

I’ve been listening to Pharoah Sanders for 50 years and this is my favorite song by him! It is so moving, so spiritual and brings me to tears each time I listen to it!

[@brucefournier2391]

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” Psalm 122:1

[@HowardBankheadjazzgolf]

God is in this music, this is what our youth need...their parents as well!

[@nathanielbooth259]

As time passes this remarkable man and his music are more meaningful than when I was younger. Today at 75 years young, I still feel the same as this music lets me reflect on my life and times. I trust that you are well and keep moving forward as others will follow.

[@cameronpfister1960]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard.

[@charlesmartin5360]

Me too

[@billymccoy9008]

If I was locked up and could have only one song piped in 24 hours a day, this surely would be the jam. It touches every fabric of my soul. Hardly a week goes by that I don't listen to this. I have the album but no current system to play it on. Thank you KZbin

[@raymondstokes3082]

Ditto!!!!

[@billymccoy9008]

Three of my most dearly beloved jazz musicians have preceded me. For the life I have still been gifted with, I would not dare attempt to prioritize the impact that Joe Zawinul, McCoy Tyner, and Pharoah Sanders have had on my life. Countless hours of joy and spiritual blessings have they given me. I will surely miss them all. Ditto that for George Duke as well.

pharaoh sanders is so smooth been listening since I was 12 now I'm 55 and fly great musician 💕

[@patsibanyoni8272]

[@Betterthaneverr]

Legendary artists like Pharoah Sanders are inspirational and uplifting especially in today's turbulent times. I'm very thankful that I was exposed to this kind of music in my youth because music in itself is a window to the soul and depending on what you listen to it can have a powerful effect on your spiritual direction. great post.

[@edwilliams9914]

First time I heard this was while sitting on a coverd porch outside during an hours-long *hammering* Sunday afternoon summer rainstorm in western Illinois. And I knew that I was most definitley in His house. Forty-odd years ago, and this is the first time I'm hearing it since. Let me just say thanks, because nothing else will cover it.

[@Danvargas1]

WOW!!! I closed my eyes and I listened as hard as I could, it got to my core and broke me down to tears... mostly out of joy. This is a beautiful piece of music.

[@brendagraham5788]

My Swells My Soul I become a human deluge frm deep down within. It takes me to a Special Place In Spirit. I feel also the presence of my son, PBUH & we're in one another's company, in peace.👑

[@albertbrown359]

Pharoah truly revealed musically what was in his soul.Peace and tranquility.Reaching out to our Heavenly father in his own unique way.

[@spwathy9144]

Rest in peace, Pharaoh Sanders

This is simply incredible...one of my favorites 😊😊😊

[@mildredholiday4953]

Just amazing, makes me want to go on home to heaven!

[@CTRP888]

How can anyone not like this song. It is pure bliss. I am surprised that any would thumbs down to this. I realize that not everyone knows what good music is when they hear it lol.

[@Impex7]

This NEVER gets OLD! My SPIRIT is in TUNE with the UNIVERSE, whenever I LISTEN to this MUSIC............THE ALL, is ALL.

[@CaptHank]

Pharoah is at his best here. My first boat was named, "Pharoah's Journey". Another one of my favorites is "Red, Black and Green". He goes outside, comes back in, goes out again.

Truly, The Music of God....

[@spencerW5522]

Man, this cut to me is right up there with "Thembi" & Creator got a Master Plan. The Solo at 8:55 second of this cut is so powerful, is that a violin or a what? Been listening to Pharoah (whom I name my son after) since I was 16 years olds, I'm now 66 year, and still sonds good

[@possiblymaybe6711]

spencerW5522 the bass solo? It’s stunning absolutely nothing like it I’m crying typing this up as it plays it’s unbelievable I don’t know how the entire world isn’t stopping dead in it’s tracks to listen to this

[@hyacinthedelasinthomee9291]

The bass solo at that time stamp is Cecil McBee. It sounds like a violin because he's playing around with the harmonics of the strings to make sounds outside of their normal range. It's truly a beautiful thing.

[@andyscally]

Pharoah has long been one of my favourites. I play ‘The Creator …’ regularly. I discovered this following up Santana and McLoughlin’s version (also great) but, even for an atheist like me, this is soul-touching spiritual stuff. No musician can get deeper into your soul than Pharaoh.

[@tatu8663]

This is the song that introduced me to jazz.

[@EdwindePaula]

this is the most beautiful thing ever

[@MrLemmetellu]

With mouth agape, I feel something here..unlike any other music. No words are required to capture the spirituality that exudes from his music...or HIS music.

[@Berylfairfield]

[@nogimasa558]

Stands out foreva !!

[@perkyporkpie]

Pharoah is now beyond-thanks for everything you beautiful man.

[@ALEXANDERATTACK]

Must have listened to this 30 times today, it's so sweet mixed in clouds of emotions. Thank you, God for all you have done.

[@ALEXANDERATTACK]

God I wrote this 7 months ago when everything seemed so dark. I know there will be trails ahead but thank you so much Lord for getting me through. You are beautiful and I thank you for all you've done. Thank you for allowing these sweet melodies to enter my mind, I magnify you Lord. Bless Pharaoh Sanders for these talents.

[@ALEXANDERATTACK]

Things aren't necessarily going as expected or the direction I wanted but I still know the life I have is within the hands of the lord. Never give up. For the living God lives within me, I shall not give up or forsake his mercies or forget all he has brought me through.

[@minion8109]

@@ALEXANDERATTACK how are you doing now?

[@ALEXANDERATTACK]

@minion8109 I came back from church, and I feel better, and I thank the Lord God for all the bad and the good. So, with my life in his hands, seeing the work of God, I am very appreciative of his works. I love the Lord and always will. I hope you are well, and I ask God to bless you and your situation. Thank you for asking aboht me.

[@jayo6725]

I first listened to this track in 1970 while I was in college. It is as powerful and uplifting today as it was when I first heard it almost 50 years ago. This piece and The Creator has a Master Plan are two of Pharoahs best compositions of that era. Cecil Mcbee's upright bass solo will put you in a trance. Please be aware that this you tube posted version cuts the original album version short by about 3 minutes. The final 3 minutes brings the entire orchestra together in a powerful crezendo which rounds out this amazing example of jazz taken to a spiritual level. If you can get hold of the original album version, you will understood what I mean. No matter what religion you practice (or not), this work will take you to the House of the Lord!

[@woodyar92]

Owned this album, since undergrad at Ohio State, 1970. Meditative and refreshing. Glad I rediscovered it. I've been a fan of his for along time. Back in the Day, you could buy albums based on the performers with the lead and strike gold with the album living up to the same quality as this one. Those days are long lost.

Many Jazz muscians have recorded this song. It is really amazing to me. They all are excellent interpretations. I cannot say one is better than the other, however, because I like each one in its own way.

[@CaptHank]

Just listen to Cecil McBee on the upright bass, Lonnie Liston Smith on the piano. Doesn't get any better than this.

[@drkam6]

Agreed with osensei2987 about Santana Thanks are to be given not to Santana but to John McLaughlin, he is the one who actually built the arrangement for the LDS album. This originally version is absolutely beautiful. The cascading piano would be repeated by Santana in the "Welcome" piece of the album of the same name.

[@brianpatterson7332]

McLaughlin has also been known to perform Light At The Edge Of The World with his 4th Dimension band. Here's a beautiful version (Etienne M'Bappe produces a wonderfully lyrical bass solo.). kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3i5k2t5f6aFZ9k

[@shirleymental4189]

Damn comment is too old for me to reply to but +osensei2987 you got it spot on Brother. Maclaughlin is an ever changing genius, Santana has been knocking out the same tired licks for 40 years.

[@Zepster77]

+Johnny Solipsis You may be right... but he is he, and him is him. He does what he does, and the others do what they do.... so your comment comes off as wishing rather that we can ALL play like McLaughlin??? Millions of guitarists in this world, but when Carlos plays I know it is HIM. the same cannot be said for *millions* of others. And let me try not to judge it further than that, ya know brotha??

[@Berylfairfield]

que bonito lo que has dicho. A mi me hace sentir algo distinto pero tambien muy profundo en la memoria.

[@rapier5]

McBee's bass is the base for me here too. It should be recognized he overdubs in many sections as two are often heard. The mystery for me has always been that especially in the solo he is shockingly flat, yet it is fine. I mean I know zero, less than zero, about making music but i know flat.

[@fictitiousfictitious8964]

Holy music

[@maryexstroughtonaire4244]

[@VantisDoroHall]

I believe this is an Edwin Hawkins composition. It is on the album "Oh, Happy Day". Before that, the album was titled "Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord".

[@EdwindePaula]

I am listening to this and I am desperately shutting my eyes and blocking any sort of light with my hands on my face because all I wish is to perceive the sound and nothing else, but the blackness of my eyelids shut still feel like disrespectful towards the sound. pharoah is a man above all.

This is not the same as Edwin Hawkins song. These arre two different musical compositions. Carlos Santana has a song with the same title (1973) with John Mclaughlin dueling guitars. Hawkins has a choir, Santana has giutars, and Sanders has a bunch of percussion instruments very different songs, all enjoyable.........
