Classical Music?
 

okay so im taking Music107 in college, which is teh study of classical music and alot of it has hit me as, just really beautiful music. I know not alot of people can admit they listen to it, but honestly, anyone here actually enjoy it? I dunno before I took the class I liked it but I;d never know the title or anything, but I think this class has really helped me look more at genres that are more uncommon or whatever you wanna call it. But yeah anyone just sometimes feel in a mood where theyd rather just relax, put some good old Mozart or Beethtoven haha or whatever? i mean I wouldnt be blasting it in my car or nothing haha.

Or am I alone? :paperbag

Yes, I enjoy it :D I like classical guitar and a little bit of piano. *pats* Don't worry you're not alone. ^^

Yeah, I took a Humanities in Art class and we spent a few weeks on classical music... it was so amazing. I don't understand how one person can write music for every instrument and make it all come together.

Ooh. I love classical music. It really helps me with my painting. I hope Ayumi's new Classical album will be good...

I like classical music! and darn proud of it too^^ I especially enjoy the piano and the string instruments. I forgot what the musical term is for it tho, haha, or if there is even one.

...I am so confused right now O.O

Although I'm not a big fan of classical music, I can definitely appreciate it, and I do like some. My favorites are Debussey and Mussorgsky, brilliant stuff. The Chinese movie 'Together' sparked my interest again as well; it's got a great, classical soundtrack, that I recommend highly (along with the movie).

Classical music are one of my favorites types of music!! :) I listen mostly to piano music cause I play the piano. Prokofiev, Debussy, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff are all my fave composers :P But I'm not really into Bach or Mozart stuff.

I love classical music, I'm still new at liking it, my favourites so far are Tchaikovsky, Bach and Vivaldi. I have two sets of several classical music CDs, I really must listen to more of them.

*shivers*

hey, I don't deny it's good. It's just definately not my taste. However, Chinese "classical" music is a different story. Too long a story. Suffice it to say, I like that.

Classical music is wonderful i love it!!! sunc a wonderful music.... i play the piano also... so is really cool to play that kind of music!

Moonlight sonata! i can't get enough of it!!!!!!!!

There's this beautiful song, Con te partiro by Andrea Bocelli. I guess you'd call it Opera... but classical and opera go hand in hand :) And this song is absolutely gorgeous! Myself, I'm a bit of a Wagner fan.

i love classical music. favorites include canon in d, air on the g string, and jesu joy of man's desiring. i like more but those are my favorites. i'm a fan of bach xD

^Ahhhh Jesu joy of man's desiring!!! That song killed my fingers on the clarinet. Ouch!

What about Pachabel's Canon? That's a good one, and since I didnt have it at my grad it wasn't ruined for me hehe

Yes, i like classical aswell. Don't know titles or anything but i'll definately listen if i like it.

Also, this may be cheating, but i treat most of the music from the final fantasy game series (and chrono series) as classical... i highly doubt i'm mistaken either :D

i looooove canon :love they played it at my uncle and aunt's wedding and i loved it ever since..hehe it's also one of the main songs for "my sassy girl" :yes
i also love all the songs we sang in choir like ave verum and a dozen different versions of alleluia :P

love classical music :) although it is true that i don't usually tell ppl that ... it's sad...
seriously, classical music is the most sublime form of music. the music we listen to nowadays is all derived from classical music in some ways. unfortunately, there's basically no one now who can compose music like Chopin, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Liszt, etc.

A lot of videogame music can be considered as orchestral (although often synthetized) - surely it's not classical, but definitely similar, stylistically.

And I agree, I wuuuv videogame soundtracks as well. In fact, I'm gonna listen to the Chrono Cross soundtrack in a couple of minutes. Hella good.

i prefer to play both on piano lol. but yeah i had to play it on clarinet one year to so i know how u feel lol!

ahh Pachelbel has to be one of my fav songs *hears it now* thats kinda what sparked me to make this thread haha.

Some video games have teh best orchestral songs ever, or well just soundtracks. I like the shenmue soundtracks since it combines classic asian instruments as well, so many good ones.

I think those gregorian Chant songs are cool, *thinks Zelda* oh yeah

NGE has lots of classical music! like the song in the end of NGE is like the most wonderful song ever!

they played air on the g string and jesu. seems the director loves bach :D

not a big fan myself, there be the odd tune i thinks pretty cool but have no idea what the titles are...
was well into vaness mae a few years ago, still really like some of her stuff, but only cos she incorporated classical music with a beat to it

i listen to classical music once in a while, trying to appreciate it for personal development..but still, i like modern music more

*trying to learn violin*

My girlfriend's cousin has been playing it since she was 3 or 4! o_o;

vanessa mae rocks! she definately gave me a new appreciation for the violin!

Not to mention shes pretty hot! :lech

I love Vanessa Mae!! :yatta Her music's awesome :) I think I tried sending you a song before O_o

i LOVE classical music!!!especially the sound of violins and orchestras. <333

Barber's Adagio For Strings :yes

I don't mind classical music now, when I was younger I hated it. Now I like to listen to it at night... either that or Trance... lol :P

Classical music is awesome! Go Swan Lake, Nutcracker, The Magic Flute!

But the Romantic classical music is usually the best one. I don't like the Broque movement all that much.

We just started learning about teh classical period, i wasnt a big fan of Baroque eiher. Its too similiar to each other. Classical period more variety started. Only Baroque I really like is Probablyy Bach's Organ Fugue "Little Fugue" theres others but that one stood out.

Yvette: most likely lol

Catzi, you have good taste. I'm not a baroque fan, but I'll listen to pretty much anything else. Handel and Hayden are great. I love music with a strong bass section. I play tuba so it works.
Anybody listen to bond? (I have all the cd's..)

Ive heard ofg Bond, Ive listened to one of thir Cd's im not sure which (theyre pretty hot too btw :p) Any good suggetsions for mt to DL?

I'm in orchestra, and we're playing some interesing music for example, we're playing St. Paul's Suite (have anyone heard of it?) I love brandenburg No. 3 movements 1 and 2. but i enjoy 2 the most to listen and to play :yes I like classical music.. it "relaxes" the mind....



ps. don't forget vanessa mae.. i love the way she plays seasons i like "winter" the most :D

Hope you like them!

I love almost any song with a violin...

Orchestra/classical type music adds so much to songs...:)

I recommend Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake Suite" and Gustav Holst's "The Planets".

littlefairyfromnam, thank you very much! Bond is pretty good.

MariachiGurl2005, Vanessa Mae has great music!

Mmmm...plantets... yum... Swan lake. I have my radio on the all-classical station at college and it's amazing. Except for when the signal gets crossed with the Christian rock station. *shudder*

Erm, if Ayu's Acoustic versions of her songs count, then I :love Classical!!!

But seriously,

I listen to Tchaikovsky, Beethoven sometimes, and others, when I'm really bored.

It's not really classical, but I love how the violin sounds mixed with piano and guitar in aiko's Hanakaze & Sankoku Eki...I really need to buy the Sankoku Eki single just for the instrumental track...

*Also needs to pick up his violin that's collecting dust in the corner in the case*

Classical is great. My favorite is Franz Schubert. I also like Yo-Yo Ma. And if Apocalyptica counts, then I guess they would be one of my favorites. They are string quartet that plays metal songs on cellos. They sound almost like chamber music.

I broke out my clarinet yesterday because my friend just bought a flute and suggested we should play together some time. It was awesome, I can still make ambulance noises.
