we're all rich, who here takes pleasure in classical music? [MP3]
 

check out this piece...


lament of the Holy Mother Church
by Dufay


:pimp

Classical smooth jazz and classical are my jam.

A truly amazing piece. I hadn't heard it and I thank you for posting it. Dufay apparently wrote Lamentatio sanctae matris ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae for the fall of Constantinople - get this - the year after it fell! 1454. I'm blown away. Beautiful countertenor soloist, amazing motets.

I love this

I'll raise you this

This is my 4th and final post in this thread, and final contibution.

When I am feeling dark and destructive I look back to my American ancestor settlers song of the late 1700's "Slaughter of the natives" which is a mix of classical progressive, and in this mix, dark metal. This is a "war song" we played together before clearing large patches of land of Indian natives, for our new world settlements in America.

Not me. I like some movie soundtracks but I just can't get into classical music at all. I've tried listening to CM stations while driving, putting some on while working etc, and it just does zilch for me.

Leoninus - Viderunt Omnes
 

JS Bach - Chaconne

I'll see it:

Hildegard von Bingen here? I never thought I'd see the day

Sorry but Vivaldi is not classical music but Baroque.

:thumbsup

Bach, Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major, I
 

Listening to classical music makes me feel like a cultured philistine . . .

I like Rachmaninoff

isn't it classical music from the Baroque period?

Hello Richard! Yes, it is
