June 5, 200916 yr I'm always stricken by "Gabriel's Oboe" from the movie The Mission by Ennio Morricone.
June 5, 200916 yr I don't know why but for the last past couple of weeks, I've really been feeling Rachmaninoff 2nd piano concert movement 2.
June 12, 200916 yr Varese - Ameriques. Makes Rite of Spring sound like a kitten purring in comparison.
June 12, 200916 yr Currently, the Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky is okay. I particularly liked the "Gnoumus" movement for its unusual theme and stuff. The whole suite was pretty cool overall.
June 13, 200916 yr Currently, the Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky is okay. I particularly liked the "Gnoumus" movement for its unusual theme and stuff. The whole suite was pretty cool overall. I love Mussorgsky. I kind of like his position as an "imperfect" composer, who was corrected by more idiomatic composers like R-K. Medeski Martin and Wood's Radiolarians CDs have been pretty good...
June 13, 200916 yr Medeski Martin and Wood's Radiolarians CDs have been pretty good... yes.. they ARE good :)
June 13, 200916 yr Piece for Cello or Viola and Piano by Ernest Chausson Very good late chamber work by an excellent, often ignored French late Romantic (although it doesn't always *feel* romantic).
June 29, 200916 yr Rued Langgaard's fifth symphony. This symphony has two versions and my favourite piece of music is second version. This one-movement (approx. 20 mins.) symphony's name is "Nature of the Steppe".
June 29, 200916 yr the hamster dance Its a hard one to get out of your head once its in there. And you cant help but dance to it. Hilarious.
June 29, 200916 yr Currently my favorite thing to listen to is the traffic passing by my house about 100 yards away, which is randomly interrupted and overpowered by the trains that pass right behind my house.
June 30, 200916 yr John Adams' Chamber Symphony, namely movement 3: Roadrunner. This piece was inspired by both Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony no. 1 and the musical scores from old-school TV cartoons. Adams was studying Schoenberg's score in one room, his 6 year-old was watching cartoons in the other room and the two came together to inspire this amazing piece. check the great video of Ensemble Intercontemporain play all 3 movements on YouTube. I listen to Roadrunner almost EVERYDAY. It has inspired many elements of my music, mainly my new chamber piece, Myriad. There's minimalism, there's atonality, tonality, and some GREAT orchestration to boot!
June 30, 200916 yr Rachmaninoff's Piano Trio No. 1 Liszt's Dante Symphony Stravinsky's Violin Concerto
July 1, 200916 yr Verdi's Requiem. It's absolutely stunning. I've been switching between that and Orff's Carmina Burana, which is equally as stunning.
July 10, 200916 yr Either Alkan's - Le Festin d'Esope or Lyapunov - Variations and Fugue on a Russian Theme
