Classical music

We listen to classical music probably as much as metal. My husband's favorites include Pagannini and Beethoven. I like Mozart's string quartet pieces better than some of his piano pieces.

Anybody else into classical, either traditional or contemporary, or maybe both?

I'm partial to Holst's 'Planets' suite as well as the operas of 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' by Wagner. I also dig more avant-garde from John Cage, Henry Cowell, etc.

The guy that does the music for M Night Shyamalans movies is great too.

I especially like his chorus them for The Village.

Soundtracks are another good topic.

My favorites:

Hellraiser 2
Dune
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
Blade Runner
Star Trek 6
2001
Terminator 2

Conan the Barbarian is the best.
Dune plus 2
Clay ( recent scottish made movie about a golem that some kids bring too life out of clay)

that's all I can think of at the moment.

David Arkenstone is one of the new composers I like, too. He writes epics and story music - grand, majestic pieces that make for intense listening.

I love classical music

Arvo PÄrt is awesome. (choir)
I really enjoy Renaissance (Dufay, Lassus, Ockeghem, DePrez)
and just overall clasical from Orff to ... Satie

Orff, Grieg and Handel is nice.
I also like some of the older music that the monks where singing.
i dont know what that style is. monkmusic. medievelmusic or something.

i really like ludovico einaudi... and yann tiersen!! (goodbye lenin soundtrack, amélie soundtrack...)

Gregorian Chants?

Yes Gregorian stuff!! :)

14th century French Chamber musik is awesome as well.

St. Colombe and Marin Maraias especially.

I have discovered one of the most beautiful classical pieces ever.

it's 16th century Renaissance,
by THomas Tallin, called the 40 part motet,
there are 8 groups of 5 voices singing, and it sounds like a friggin choir of angels.

sick and beautiful

i wonder if they have it on you tube??

not sure.
it's on a cd we have I found it

I don´t listen to classical music very often, but I definitely like music made by J.S. Bach!

Sweet man. Ich mag Bach auch.

und ein Herzlicher Empfang.

Vielen Dank :)

I listened to those composers... and they are really great.

they are.

I always wanted to just record some of my instrumental work as well... I need to work on doing that one of these days.

if possible do that on a real piano, or on a grand piano, it just sounds so much nicer :) i'd be interested in that stuff though.

I have an electric yamaha with real piano keys that are weighted and studio quality piano sound.. luckily.

It's just a matter of getting past my motivation problems. haha.

It's usually easier for me when I'm either in a studio, away from home, or with a band..practicing.. In my house, I often get distracted thinking of all my problems and/or issues. Plus, by myself, I often loss motivation. Lately, anyways.

ok, nice. if you ever record stuff, i want to hear it :)
