I'm no classical music buff but I'd like to be educated....what's your favourite classical piece? xx

Most of it , but anything by Mozart goes down a treat :O))


*yikes - Billy Idol to W A Mozart lolol*

I know what you mean Maddie. I like what I like but I don't know most of the time what exactly that is.

I have an opera album too that I put on occassionally and warble along to when I'm on my own. I'd love to learn more about both classical and opera xx

Tchaikovski 1812 Overture.

I dont mind classical muffy althugh I dont know a lot about it - its nice to have on when in the bath and stuff. But Opera ........ I havent found a peice I like ....but I havent really looked either. Its never appealed to me.

I must drive my neighbours mad singing (?) along to this lol

I know what you mean McAnne.I kind of go from the sex pistols to Puccini lol But it's nice to like all different kinds of music I think x

I like Vaughan Williams but have to say if I need a good old cheery up that Holst (sp) Planets is marvellous !! Makes you all determined and bold!

Kaz x

Oh Ive got the planets too but I need to be in the mood for that. I like Mars ... I hope its the same and ive not made a wally of myself.

Concierto d'Aranjuez by Rodrigo is one of my favourites.

But there are many other pieces I love too.

Sue

I'm you tubing all these to have a listen.

Cazzles......I'm gonna save yours til tomorrow hon when I can really give it some time....... you may be getting pm's from me asking questions though lol xx

Kaz, Holst is fabulous, he wrote so many inspiring pieces,


my other favs are


Pergolesi,

Tallis,

Corelli,

Bruckner,

Gluck,

Brahms,

Beethoven

So many!!!!


Caz x

Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 (Bach)

Satie = symphonia (something French that I can't spell!)

Lots of other bits (listen to Classic FM at work with the headphones on as it cuts out a lot of the chatter. I write down my favourite bits and then listen again and then decide if I want to buy/download or whatever. Some totally brilliant stuff.)

PM away Muffs, I miss classical music, i listen to cds and classic fm but work and kids mean no time for real music making,


Its my passion!!!!



Caz xxx

Elgar, Pavane music for a dead princess....Barber's Adagio for Strings.....Stravinski's Rite of Spring and Debussy's L'apre midi d'un Faun which is a strange piece of music to me, but was choreographed by Nijinsky....I find the opening flute music haunting.....

Lots of great choices - will have to dig all my oldies out now!

Maddie - Mars was one of the one's I had in mind course you isny a wally!! Lol

Kaz :o))

I have a fair collection of classical although not really up on the names of any particular pieces of music :)

I do like Vivaldis Four Seasons, also Puccinni Humming Chorus, Pachabel and also a favourite of mine is Emperor by Beethoven which is a fantastic bit of music.

GOOD EVENING GUYS:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Just logged on for the night lol been out all day with Sis.

I have a very diverse range of music loves. It can be classical music to opera to rock. If I like a piece of music I like it no matter what genre it is. I like musicals as well my all time favourite is Sound of Music and you can always hear me (screaching) Mother Superior Climb Every Mountain in my kitchen! LOL.

I would love to have been an opera singer and believe that one of my rellies was or is an opera singer. I have yet to find that out.
