Mozart's Requiem
Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue and Cuban Overture (esp.Movement 3)
Debussy's Reverie
Brandenburg Concerto by JS Bach -
Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", all three movements. The 1st Movement (the best-known of the three) is a quiet, brooding piece that inspire sad but reflective thought. The 2nd Movement is a bit more playful, makes me think of young lovers frolicking in the moonlight. The 3rd Movement thunders and bellows, all but announcing a great catastrophe blowing through before an abrupt and hard end.
-
"Flight of the Bumblebee"
It's an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Very Fast! -
I love ode to joy by Beethoven, I love the happiness and the way it just sticks to your mind or Moonlight sonata.
-
Marching band tunes...
For example, Northwestern always plays the "Star Wars" evil empire music when they're on defense. It cracks me up, while setting a tone.
In a sense, the battle for school funding is very much like an athletic game/match. The back and forth, small victories, grand losses... Playing familiar "rally" songs... more -
I love the simplistic beauty of Clair de Lune by Debussy.
-
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Allegro (Serenade No 13 For Strings In G Major) - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. As uplifting as it gets...
-
Vivaldi Four Seasons - four concertos, I like spring the best
-
Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major, BWV 1051
Composed intentionally without violins so Bach could get himself fired from his position composing for Prince Leopold. The Viola de Braccio was given the lead and was an instrument played by peasants and certainly a slap in the face to the aristocracy to be played in lead. -
Für Elise by Beethoven
-
Two pieces, both from THE PLANETS by Gustav Holst: "Mars, the Bringer of War," a very bombastic, oppresive yet fired-up piece, and "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity," which starts out small but halfway through sounds like you've just walked into pre-Revolutionary Versailles at a fancy dinner ball. Both have their appeals.
-
My favorite classical piece is Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto 2 that Eric Carmen ripped off for "All by Myself" which also happens to be the mental state of the music teacher who has lost his funding for his music program.
Here is some video of Eric Carmen "borrowing" from Rachmaninov- more -
Beethovens 9th Symphony "Ode to Joy"
or Carmina Burana -
It is less than three minutes long. It is nine minutes into Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. It is the same haunting music that was Chris Reeve's favorite in the movie "Somewhere in Time"
-
Dvorak's "New World Symphony." Very lush, full of longing and hope. (Or at least it seems that way to me!)
-
Toccata and Fugue in D minor...........................it's fractal, ever-inviting the teacher to be taught, in a taut two-way spiral of sagacity
-
Debussy's "Clair de Lune"
(And yes, the current state of music education in this country is sadly declining due to budget cuts and preferential treatment given to sports programs...thank you for this storyline, Bar Karma!) -
J.S. Bach Toccata & Fugue
-
I don't have a favorite classical piece, but this beautiful song may fit the bill:
