This is a genre of music about which i know very little.

Ive got a lot of tunes floating about in my head that i want to download and enjoy during my "relaxing time" but i have know idea about symphonies, composers, and all other aspects of the classical music scene.

Can you give me some names of the more well known tunes that I may be thinking of to get me on my way, because i really dont know what i'm looking for but there are several well known tunes that i want to get hold of, i just dont know what there called.

Also if you can recommend any of the more obscure tunes, or your personal favorites that would be very much appreciated :)up

Vivaldi "The Four Seasons"

the AOR of classical music

 Sprach Zarathustra - Strauss
( 2001: A Space Odyssey music )

 William Tell Overture - Rossini
( The Lone Ranger music )

Beethoven's first movement, you'll recognise it straight away

Fanfare for the Common Man - Copeland
(modern classical, very recognisable too)

Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries

Carl Orff- Oh Fortuna

J.S. Bach - Matthaus Passion

They're my three faves

My favorite is Vanessa Mae, not only is she beautiful, she is very talented.

The Planets and Bond are good as well.  Classic FM TV is the best music channel

Saints row xbox360 game has almost 100 classic songs on the radio playlist, its been awsome :)

I have lots of john williams music om ny mp3 player and a lot of Hans Zimmer too, not classic as such more just instrumental.

Tighty why the Copeland version of Fanfare and not the Emerson Lake and Palmer version?

strings of life - derrick may

came out around 1889

Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor ('Moonlight'), Op. 27-2- Adagio sostenuto

Planets suite by holst

For me it's got to be -

Holst - The Planets Suite (Especially Mars)

Also The Blue Danube (docking sequence from 2001 a space odessey)

Anybody know the title of the music from The Omen?

The music for the Omen was by Jerry Goldsmith, if I remember correctly.

 His music is fantastic, he has done so many soundtracks over the years

ideal for a "relaxing time" is "The Flower Duet" by Delibes (the BA ad music)

It's not classical music if the guy finished writing it this afternoon.

All this 20th century pisch  :D

I was going to say that too.

Also one of my personal favourites is Canon in D by Pachabel

If you want a good mix of 'popular' classical tunes, you could do worse than get a copy of 'the best classical music album in the world ever' - lots of familiar tunes.

 Prokofiev’s  dance of the knights

Try Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copeland, great to play in the morning, relaxing & uplifting.

OK, it's more modern pisch but Gorecki, 'Symphony of Sorrowful Songs' ....................... or Korn 'Here to Stay' . take yr pick pop pickers, not 'arf !

I dont think there are any blodeites around from the 19th century!!!

bugger, pay the field

don't know that one - who was the composer?

Shut it you, you've cost me a drink.

??? :dontask:

I really want to add to this thread so I can sound both intelligent and culteral.

However, I am unable to do so as I fail so emphatically on both accounts.

As a consequence, I am merely left to recommend the following songs, simply because they contain some innocuous reference to classic music.

Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - Oh What A Night
Electric Light Orchestra - 10,538 Overture
Falco - Rock Me Amadeus
Hugh Blumenfeld - Mozart's Money

:D

Massive Attack - unfinished sympathy

Any mocking of drum roll please.... Russ Abbot... will result in the accused seeing the back of my hand.

That's not a threat, it's a promise...

back of my hand - the jags

and if you're really rude you'll see the back of snoopy's back elbow

Barbers - adagio for strings (platoon, amongst several films it's been in)

Just me giggling away at this ? :D

Tikay???

The Damned - Smash it up

Karl Jenkins - Benedictus

Listen to it, it'll warm you up.

21st century classical ?

or satie's gymnopedies are all good. Here's no 1

Rimsky Korsakov's Sherherazade is another beautiful piece

http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/data/27/link/496/PSO093003-Rimsky-Korsakov-Scheherazade-I.mp3

Being a former military man it has to be 1812 overture by Tchaikovsky. Commemorating Napoleon's retreat from Russia.


BARA BARA BARA BA BA BA.

Anything by Shostakovich will do.

IX Symfonia Es-Dur, op. 70 can be a nice introduction to this inventive and complex composer.  

St Luke Passion by Penderecki is another good one.

 I love Chopin but it is important to get a recording by Hiroko Nakamura which is just breathtaking.

I think as with any music, it depends when do you listen and do you like easy listening 'popular' tunes or something more interesting in terms of structure.  Like are you fan of westlife or radiohead? the same principle applies to the classical music.  

Mark-Anthony Turnage is a modern composer whose was nominated for Mercury Prize few years ago for 'Your rockaby' which is a great record.




 

N.W.A- Straight Out of Compton

Try anything by Hans Zimmer. IMO his best work to date was the soundtrack to Gladiator.

Classical music? Don't make me laugh.....

Ha ha ha haaaaaa

Ha ha ha haaaaaa

me too, love that piece of music

I'm a simple man...Air on a G string.

any of beethovens violin concertos

Have you heard the version by Nina Gordon?

Nein

The Theiving Magpie by  Rossini, features heavily in the film A Clockwork Orange.

Just buy any baby's toy mobile with music and flashing lights - no idea what any of the songs are called but it does the trick and i end up humming them for hours.

and for once i agree with Nemesis - was a classic tune at the time and even now i still have the album on my monkey ipod
