What are you listening to: Classical only

[The Parkus Empire]

We begin

Lieutenant Kijé

[Conserative Morality]

Danse Macabre

[Hathradic States]

First off, are we counting Wagner in this? Or is that more opera?

[The Parkus Empire]

Danse Macabre

One of my favorite pieces.

Carmina Burana

[The Parkus Empire]

First off, are we counting Wagner in this? Or is that more opera?

We're talking Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionist, Modern, Primitivist, and every other form of art music, which opera definitely falls under.

Speaking of opera

News aria, from Nixon in China

In that case:

Die Walkuere- Act I

[The Parkus Empire]

In that case:

Die Walkuere- Act I

Masterpiece, of course

Beethoven's Piano concerto No. 1, III Rondo. Allegro scherzando

Yes it's a movement out of context! Tough shit.

A masterpiece which isn't even halfway done yet.

[The Parkus Empire]

A masterpiece which isn't even halfway done yet.

Yeah, when I'm doing that much of an opera, I tend to watch it (long drives aside). On DVD or online unless it's being played at the LA Opera, which isn't likely and isn't cheap.

Non piu andrai

Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso,
notte e giorno d'intorno girando;
delle belle turbando il riposo
Narcisetto, Adoncino d'amor.

Non più avrai questi bei pennacchini,
quel cappello leggero e galante,
quella chioma, quell'aria brillante,
quel vermiglio donnesco color.

Tra guerrieri, poffar Bacco!
Gran mustacchi, stretto sacco.
Schioppo in spalla, sciabla al fianco,
collo dritto, muso franco,
un gran casco, o un gran turbante,
molto onor, poco contante!

Ed invece del fandango,
una marcia per il fango.
Per montagne, per valloni,
con le nevi e i sollioni.
Al concerto di tromboni,
di bombarde, di cannoni,
che le palle in tutti i tuoni
all'orecchio fan fischiar.
Cherubino alla vittoria:
alla gloria militar!

You shall frolic no more, lustful butterfly,
Day and night flitting to and fro;
Disturbing ladies in their sleep
Little Narcissus, Adonis of love.

No longer will you have these beautiful feathers,
That light, romantic cap,
That hair, that glowing countenance,
That rosy, womanly complexion.

Among soldiers, by Jove!
A big moustache, a little kit.
With a rifle on your shoulder, and a sabre on your flank,
Standing up straight, hard faced,
A big helmet, or a big turban,
Plenty of honour, little pay!

And instead of dancing the fandango,
A march through the mud.
Through mountains, through valleys,
With snow and with the sun beating down.
To the beat of the bugle,
Of bombs, of cannons,
Whose thunderous report
Makes your ears ring.
Cherubino, to victory:
To glory in battle!

[Aldheim]

Sibelius' Andante Festivo

[The Parkus Empire]

Spem in alium

Great when stoned.

I have never heard this piece before. It's incredible. Thank you.

Sibelius' Andante Festivo

Magnificent. It's been a while, I think.

Dance of the Knights

[The Parkus Empire]

The Golden Age, polka

[Shaggai]

Every form of art music? Would Two Steps from Hell count?

[Lewina]

Tchaikovsky- Marche Slave

[Lancaster of Wessex]

Not listening to anything specifically at the moment, however anything Baroque with a harpsichord has my vote...I am particularly fond of court music composers around the time of Versailles and "le Roi du Soleil."

I will however, provide this YouTube link (non-Versailles connected)...it is a joy to listen to and behold.

Tchaikovsky- Marche Slave

Outside of his ballets, that's my favorite piece of his.

Wunderbar! I have not had the pleasure of ever having enjoyed this previously. Quite a fine work.
