Festive Overture (Shostakovitch) -- The Triangle Youth Brass Ensemble

Not the best recording ever, but I was the second chair baritone player on it, and it's a very good one when once considers that the brass band's members ranged from eighth graders to twelfth graders.

This piece has been stuck in my head for the past week...

Say what you want about the guy, but his music is damn good.

Lifeforce - Vinnie Moore

There are those who would call this kind of music non-classical. I must disagree.
it is my firm belief that I should never have to justify my beliefs.

I believe that's originally from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (which is, IMO, one of the pinnacles of music).

I'm curious as to who arranged it for strings.

Yeah I don't know who arranged it. I heard it this way on Classical Minnesota Public Radio and I really liked it this way. What was it originally arranged for?

And I'm listening to Erik Satie '88- Initiés 99'

Some sort of album containing some of Saties best works for piano.

It would've been originally written for one of the early baroque keyboard instruments; virginal or harpsichord most likely, although it could be played on a pipe organ. I think that it would probably sound good using a Principal 8' and then a 16' in the pedal. ;)

I could definitely hear it being played on a pipe organ. Harpsichord, not so much.

Et cetera, I am listening to Elgar- Pomp and Circumstance Military March No.1

This is where we get the stereotypical graduation march from I believe. From 1:58 - 3:42.
