I was thinking, we've got this song lyrics thread....
But what we are missing is a thread with music that doesnt have lyrics, be it classical or contemperary music.

I really like learning about the musical tastes of other people here, so I hope you'll share some stuff with me(excuse my english, I'm boozed).

I'll start off with Beethovens Moonlights Sonata, and Henri Mancini's Godfather theme.

Please share some music with me..... ....I like music, but my knowledge is ratger limited.

Pachelbel's Kanon has long been one of my favourites

Good Idea:

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain (been playing them both a lot lately)

What I've been working on on the piano:
Beethoven's "Tempest" Sonata
Chopin's Revolutionary Etude
Bach's Prelude & Fugue #12 in F Minor
Mendelsohn's Venetian Boat Songs

Tnx in advance, I'll search for trhem.....

Samuel Barbers "Adagio for Strings" A damn fine classic

Depeche Mode's "Agent Orange"



A song that really should have been a hit. I still get chills hearing the helicoptors in the song, imitating those that flew over Vietnam when Agent Orange was used.

A more modern instrumental one from me.

Call Of Ktulu by Metallica

Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis

I've always loved Edward Elgars 'Enigma Variations'

@Audace: The godfather is By Nino Rota (Based on his Fortunella score), not by Mancina

I know everything about movie scores, so I could name 1001 titles from them, if that's what you want.

But I'll start with George Gershwin's Raphsody in Blue- I can't get enough of it.

Booker T & the MGs

Green Onions

SRV..."Riviera Paradise" ...great tune by a guitar master.

Tnx Morlock....

La Gazza Ladra......Rossini(if I'm not mistaken again)

You have some very nice tastes. I did find one string piece called "Tzigane" that i enjoyed very much. Among my favorites are Charles Ives "Symphony #2", which i played during my school marching season, Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an exhibition", and another one i think is called "Chant of the Celestial Lake", but im not sure. Thats just to name a few.

LOL, thats actually from my dads musical collection. He is a big fan of the classical genre and as a result I've heard/tolerated plenty of that genre. If I have to recommend something else it would have to be Mozarts unfinished symphony, I've forgotten the name of it for now, but its breathtakingly haunting.

Indeed the Unfinished Symphony is very haunting, My schools wind symphony is playing it.

"A terrible sob rose in my throat, a terrible cry that I myself could
not bear to hear. My breath would stop if I didn't release it, and this body, damned or sacred, mortal or immortal, pure or corrupt, would surely burst.

But a music comforted me. A music slowly articulated itself, clean
and fine, and wholly unlike the great seamless and magnificent chorus which I had only just heard.

Out of the silence there leapt these perfectly formed and discrete
notes, this multitude of cascading sounds that seemed to speak with crispness and directness, as if in beautiful defiance of the inundation of sound which I had so loved.

Oh, to think that ten fingers alone could draw these sounds from a wooden instrument in which the hammers, with a dogged rigid motion, would strike upon a bronze harp of tautly stretched strings.

I knew it, I knew this song, I knew the piano Sonata, and had loved it in passing, and now its fury paralyzed me.

Appassionata.

Up and down the notes rang in gorgeous throbbing arpeggios, thundering downward to rumble in a staccato drumming, only to rise and race again.

On and on went the sprightly melody, eloquent, celebratory and utterly human, demanding to be felt as well as heard, demanding to be followed in every intricate twist and turn.

Appassionata.

In the furious torrent of notes, I heard the resounding echo of the
wood of the piano; I heard the vibration of its giant taut bronze harp.

I heard the sizzling throb of its multitudinous strings. Oh, yes, on,
and on, and on, and on, and on, louder, harder, ever pure and ever perfect, ringing out and wrung back as if a note could be a whip.

How can human hands make this enchantment, how can they pound out of these ivory keys this deluge, this thrashing, thundering beauty?"

from Anne Rice, The Vampire Armand.

God I love the Appassionata....

Basin Street Blues....Louis Armstrong

Just keeping this thread alive....just another sad case of vanity.

Tuxedo Junctiom, Glen Miller(I think)
