Classical music, anyone?

Postby Neoteny on Wed Dec 12, 2007 12:20 am

In my continued attempts to pretend I'm cultured, I'm asking for everyone's favorite orchestral compositions. I don't care if it's cliche' (Pachelbel's Canon anyone?), classical or contemporary, or obscure as all get out. I'm looking to expand my tastes so let 'er rip. I'll start off with "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, especially #5

I actually don't listen to classical often, but I've got some and listen to it occasionally. I found in college that classical helped me study, while contemporary music distracted me.

Also try Dvorak's 9th Symphony "The New World"

Anything composed by John Williams, if that counts.

If it counts, Patrick Doyle's St. Crispin's Day - The Battle Of Agincourt from the Henry V soundtrack.

Adagio in Strings (with the vocal version - think it's called Agnus Dei?).

Enigma variations - Elgar
Swan Lake - Tchaikovsky
Symphony 9 (New World ) - Dvorak
'Morning ' from Peer Gynt - Greig
Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues/ London Symphony Orchestra

There are many more - we hear snippets from TV commercials all the time but dont bother to find out what the music is or who wrote it.
