Classical music

[Mr Randy Rhoads]

I'm really starting to get into classical music. Since I am new here, let me give you a short rundown of a few things:

->Music is my life
->I get the shivers from listening to vocal harmony
->Harmony in general is the most amazing and mysterious concept in existance

With that said, let me direct your attention to a couple of musical pieces that I'm sure you've heard, but have never really realized what they are:

->"Moonlight Sonata" by Mozart
->"Canon in D" or "Pachelbel's Canon" (Bach?)

When I listen to Canon in D, my day brightens up. The song is just...so damned happy. The manipulation of the musical language in that song is just so outrageously awe-inspiring. I suggest that everyone give both of these pieces a listen. If you are a sucker for music as I am, you won't regret it.



Man, I must really look like an idiot at red lights in my Wrangler with the top down, doors off, and Bach blasting from my soundbar :cool:

Haha

Well, I know Moonlight Sonata (just as any other living human should), and I'm almost positive I know Canon in D... There are a lot of really cool classical pieces out there, the most recent on I found is The Great Gate of Kiev, but any other information I would know I am forgetting right now :o

If I remember I'll let you in on it, but it is simply amazing

I like listening to classical music when I go to bed, it soothes me. Any of time of the day though, I'd rather not because then it makes me want to sleep.

Canon in D is by Pachelbel.

Lazy people shortened it to Pachelbel's Canon. It's one of my favorite classical songs as well. I also like "Claire de Lune" by Debussy and anything Mozart.

Yep.

Someone already corrected you on the canon, but i would also like to point out that the Moonlight sonata is by Beethoven, not Mozart.

Franz Liszt's un sospiro is one of the most hauntingly beautiful lieder i've ever heard. highly recommended.

Pachelbel's Canon will never be the same. :)

A comedian rants about how much it sucks to play Pachelbel's Canon in D on a cello. Recorded live at Penn State, this piece by comedian/musician Rob Paravonian has been a favorite on the Dr. Demento Show.

I like baroque and chamber music in general. I have some great Yo-yo Ma CDs.

As for composers, I like Bach Cantatas, and some of Tchaikovsky's compositions like Swan Lake and the Piano concerto # 1 in B flat minor.
