Music
Any of you guys (or gals!) listen to classical music? I'm just starting to get into it. I don't understand it much, yet, but I'm just now starting to read up on it. AM I THE ONLY ONE?!?!?!?

Re: Music
Have you listened to Handel's Messiah yet? It is by far my favorite piece of classical music. Second would be Sheherazad (Rimsky Korsikov).Jac3510 wrote:Any of you guys (or gals!) listen to classical music? I'm just starting to get into it.

Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

I love classical music...don't know any of it by name or artist/composer...except the obivious ones, Handel's, Messiah, Beat-the-oven's 5th...yada, yada.
My cousin has one of those thingys that connects to a piano and makes it a Player Piano. She has all sorts of CDs with classical music on them...I could easily sit and relax to classical piano ALL DAY LONG!

ha As much as we debate elsewhere, you got my support here. Started listening to classical music in middle school and still my favorite genre.
Baroque's my fav, with Handel (Messiah, Water music, fireworks) , Vivaldi (ANY of his concertos!), Bach (oratorios, Brandenburg concertos, violin concertos), Telemann (concertos) , Albinoni (same)...
Then Classical wqith Mozart (operas and and symphonies), Haydn (symphonies,concertos and his Creation, ah beautiful), and Beethoven (5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th symphonies are fav)...
Brahms, Liszt, Saint-Saen (Bacchanal, Organ concerto)
Wonderful!!

Only parts. I'd like to sit down and listen to the entire thing in one sitting. Absolutely beautiful. And I've never heard of Korsikov.Byblos wrote:Have you listened to Handel's Messiah yet? It is by far my favorite piece of classical music. Second would be Sheherazad (Rimsky Korsikov).

You raise a good point. I need to figure out which period I like first, I think. "Classical," I've found, is a very broad term! Right now I know I like the cliche stuff, like Bav mentioned. Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata are beautiful. Mozart's "Requiem" is nice, too. I'm also a big, big fan of the violin . . . 'specially violin solos. I'd love to hear a great volionist concerto.zoe wrote:ha As much as we debate elsewhere, you got my support here. Started listening to classical music in middle school and still my favorite genre.

I like Motzart and Brahms. Brahms makes me feel like I am in an old horror movie.

Re: Music
Handels's "Messiah" is inspirational...and not just for Christmas. It reflects the entire life of Christ. Pure scripture set to music. I remember going to hear it at the West Point Cadet Chapel in New York when I first became a Christian.
I have always enjoyed Vivaldi's "Four Seasons".

Re: Music
Well, I should've posted my music link here. Switchfoot: Learning to Breathe. But this is a different one, from youtube (the quality could be better):
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=27VjJZl_BdE
Here's a very different song (than above), very beautiful. All you Canadians know Bruce Cockburn; this is an older one from Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws. It actually helped me come to Christ.

Re: Music
I feel I must agree there, but I could definitely go for some classical from time to time. I really like Bach and am a pretty big fan of Holst's Planets Suite.Jac3510 wrote: Classic rock is all that is awesome in this wordl.
