Music

thank u Petty, looking forward to that ^^ u r the best

one of the most beautiful piece of music ever written (and hardly playable!) we're playing this suite at summer camp (i play 1.violin, not solo mind you! that's insane) 

Iliked that Norc, but it was a little too, pranicng, in places for my classical tastes- I like more crabbit in it.  

Something like this- (although its a bit prancing too but the crabbit makes up for it from about the 3 minute or so point)


It get a lot madder and more crabbit later on but the full piece is about an hour long- I recommend it though.

Basically classical music that sounds like nature looks, does it for me, especially if nature is throwing a Mrs Figg about the place at the time!



I can actually see the way the weather changes and the sea and sky react to it around the isles when I listen to this- its a spot on musical description!

weather throwing a Mrs Figg, poo what a load of hot air squirty botty.  

Im a Mozart girl & this is a piece I really like !

Although I dont like opera I do like a bit of orchestra choral. And when its Mozart, well you know your on to a winner.
Really enjoyed that.

Carmena Burana is a favourite of mine, although the bit everyone tends to know is just the opening, O Fortuna (and those of us of a certain generation always end up thinking of Old Spice aftershave!)- still great stuff, and who knew monks could be so crabbit!

Ive got a very powerful HiFi & that would certainly piss of the neighbours !   great piece of music tho !

Doesnt it have a volume control?!
Headphones are a good option for really crabbit and loud classical music I think.

that last one Petty with the landscape was wonderful! it felt like film music  (and i love that because it has so much mood in it)

one need a goooooood stereo to play classical. the car won't do. as it changes in volume all the time. 

take "mountain king" by Edvard Grieg for instance. it starts really low then you get a heart attack.

opera is nice.. but i can't listen to it for long

Im not a big classical fan.... I like some bits here and there. If anyone likes a bit of rock too you should try Metallica's live album S&M. Its all stuff from their back catalogue but performed with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

Most of it works!

I dont use headphones on my stereo, so tough !
And I do like a bit of Metal, & I like it when nice tunes are "rocked" up, I like the twist ! All depends what mood Im in, one of my uber favs is Pachelbels Canon in D major, stirs me up, but, I heard it done Metal stylee & it was very good ! So, Il youtube that Lance, "Metallica S/M"

There's pieces in Gladiator that are the same in "pirates/Carribbean". I thought I heard that piece before. Starts at 4.13.

Azriel - did you check out that album/video of Metallica?

Yes, Lance I did ! I actually thought it was good ! In fact, theres a lot of classical music that I really like the sound of once its been "rocked" up ! My son is well into "cradle of filth" & its rubbed off onto me ! The list of thrash,death,speed,metal music he's into is a mile long by now ! & of course I get to hear some of it. still like this tho !

omg, i am so sick of those (no they're cool but... )




this is my favourite:

That was lovely, Thankyou Norc ! Sungha Jung has feeling, talented boy! & that last vid was funny !!  

one of the more scarier ones

bumping for new page since these fantasia things need to be together.
everyone who's a fan of fairies will love this one.

I loved that film as a child, Bald Mountain is a creepy one but, its good !

I quite liked Sungha until he went electric. His skills dont transfer very well.
