Share your favorite classical works and composers.

My very favorite peice is Mozart's Magic Flute overture. It never ceases to move me. Beautiful music has a unique way of touching the soul.

Pachelbel Canon in D has been one of my favorites since I first heard it as a teen. I spent some time looking for the best version and this is by far my favorite ever. It brings me so much joy to listen to this one. Has a faster tempo than most other versions.

Core 'ngrato
Riccardo Cordiferro

Catarì, Catarì,
pecchè me dici
sti parole amare;
pecchè me parle
e 'o core me turmiente, Catarì?
Nun te scurdà
ca t'aggio date 'o core,
Catarì, nun te scurdà!
Catarì, Catarì, che vene
a dicere stu parlà
ca me dà spaseme?
Tu nun'nce pienze a stu dulore mio,
tu nun'nce pienze,
tu nun te ne cure.
Core, core 'ngrato,
t'aie pigliato 'a vita mia,
tutt'è passato e
nun'nce pienze cchiù!
Catarì, Catarì
tu nun o saie ca 'nfino int' 'a na chiesa
io so' trasuto e aggio priato a Dio,
Catarì
e ll'aggio ditto pure a 'o cunfessore
I' sto' a suffrì pe chella lla'!
Sto a suffrì, sto a suffrì
nun se po credere
sto' a suffrì tutte li strazie
e 'o cunfessore ch'e' persona santa
m'ha ditto: figlio mio, lassala sta', lassala sta'!



Ungrateful heart
English Translation © Nicholas Cornforth (https://www.oxfordlieder.co.uk/poet/816)
 
Ungrateful heart
Catarina, Catarina,
why do say
such bitter words;
Why do you speak
and torment my heart, Catarina?
Do not forget
I gave you my heart,
Catarina do not forget!
Catarina, Catarina, what meaning
Do your words hold,
Words that leave me shuddering?
You do not think of the pain I feel,
You do not think,
You do not care.
Ungrateful, ungrateful heart
You have taken my life,
All has passed
And I am in your thoughts no more!
Catarina, Catarina
You do not know that I even went into a church
And prayed to God,
Catarina
I confessed to a priest
That I was suffering for you!
I was suffering, I was suffering
Suffering beyond words
I was suffering every punishment and pain
And the priest, a saintly man
Turned to me and said: my son, let her go, let her go!

Of course. You can plainly see it in the opera. However, the music stands on its own. Extremely beautiful and masterfully composed. I have never heard anything more harmonius and beautiful than Mozart.

I'm a big fan of anything Vivaldi and (Franz Joseph) Haydn.  I have always found Mozart to be a bit immature and flighty, and prefer the maturity and seriousness of Haydn.

Outside of these two, my two guilty pleasures are the Piano Concertos (2 & 3) by Rachmaninoff.  Oh, and Beethoven's Violin Concerto no. 1.

From the comments:
Quote
Something few English speakers realize is that when Pilate asked Jesus "What is truth?" in John 18:38, the phrase in latin is "Quid est veritas?" which is an anagram for "Est vir qui adest." Which translates to "The man in front of you."

Pilate answered his own question

Smetana - The Moldau

I heard this the other day on NPR.  Glorious.  They really need to stick to music.

Incidentally, "smetana" means "sour cream".  In Polish it's "śmietana".

I enjoy, in this order --

1) anything Vivaldi (it's all excellent)
2) anything Franz Joseph Haydn
3) my "sinful pleasure" -- Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos 2 & 3
4) Beethoven Violin Concerto

I'm less enamored of Mozart and much prefer Haydn.  Mozart to me seems very immature and flighty, whereas Haydn's music I find very mature and sophisticated.  Perhaps there's some bias due to 1) Haydn having been a devout Catholic and 2) over-hearing Mozart.  I find that Mozart has been so beaten to death that it almost seems to me as if it's all the same.

I much prefer Vivaldi to Bach.  I did get a bit of Vivaldi fatigue from over-listening, mostly to the 4 Seasons, but then I found the recording by the Jєω Gil Shaham and Orpheus, and it was a very interesting take on Vivaldi that I very much enjoyed

I also enjoyed the Jєω Joshua Bell's rendition of Beethoven Violin Concerto.

Perhaps this'll give ammunition to Sean's accusation that I'm a Jєω :laugh1:

On the other hand, I find Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern to be both INCREDIBLY OVERRATED ... probably just because they're Jєωs.

No doubt you have certain pieces of music that you really really really enjoy, thus creating a pool of favourites? 🙂
I have my favourite composers list but there are others and indeed many other works from medieval to Romantic that are enjoyed. Religious/liturgical music by its very essence is the highest.

Jews have always been in opera. The Met couldn't just say "no Jews allowed" because they would (literally) be sued into oblivion.

Some peices touch your soul more than others, right?I do. Any of Mozart's operas are very entertaining and the music outstanding. I have seen this opera live and I will never forget this aria. Very beautiful.
I can hardly pick a favourite for each composer :laugh1:

It's not a favorite but what's the background intro music here, if I may ask, if anybody knows? I think it belongs in some longer piece. I've tried to find what it's from but haven't.

Quote
For this performance, Jakob have said in an interview that he didn't know that there were cameras, originally it was a radio broadcast without visual support. He was to sing in the middle of summer in the region of Aix-en-Provence in France. That's why he sings in everyday clothes and that the pianist plays piano in flip flops.

Great video. Below is another nice Baroque organ in a Catholic church, this one in Dresden and built by Silbermann in 1755. Much of this organ's inner workings survived the Dresden firebombing in storage, and it was re-installed/rebuilt in the church afterwards.

The music is  the very well known Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor, but interesting to compare the organ and sound type. Very singing and voice-like. Allegedly Mozart played this organ and said "These instruments are magnificent beyond measure."

Verdi's Requiem is in my opinion the greatest Requiem even surpassing Mozart's. The version with Pavarotti as a soloist is the one to beat. It has been taken off of YouTube so many times unfortunately. I think there is still a live version on YouTube but with an annoying humming in the background.

Regarding my Saint Cecilia post, it’s interesting about Gounod: He found no pleasure in any music Rome had to offer him except for the singing of Palestrina by the Sistine Chapel Choir. He composed no less than sixteen masses.  For a while he considered entering the priesthood, but in the end he contended himself with the desire to compose sacred music. Of his Saint Cecilia Mass he was “above all concerned to render its spirit in a manner that did honor to the patron saint of music: ‘There is only one difficulty,’ he wrote.  ‘It is to match in music the demands of this incomparable and inexhaustible subject: the Mass!… In music!… by a paltry man!… My God, take pity on me!…’”

St. Giles, can you help me out with identifying the composer(s) of the soundtrack of the Nasa docuмentary Time of Apollo (1975), narrated by Burgess Meredith?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4iEE9KhdBc

Specifically the piano pieces at 1:45 to 3:10. And then 3:12 to 4:14.

I'd like to listen to these two piano Bach-like pieces in isolation from the docuмentary.
Title: Re: Classical Music
Post by: St Giles on August 10, 2024, 09:51:28 PM
I don't know, but they sound modern. The first has strings accompanying the piano with sort of a sound track theme so it seems to me, the second sounds like piano jazz with bass and soft percussion accompaniment like what was used for some Charlie Brown sound tracks.

I once asked this same question on some classical music forum and the only answers I got were similar to yours. These two pieces have a profound effect on me, so I'm surprised that they aren't the work of some notable composer.

How do you rate these two pieces? Mediocre?

I'd love to track down the original recordings, so that I could listen to them isolated from the docuмentary.

Mentioning Charlie Brown I think of the great Vince Guaraldi tune Linus and Lucy:

A Charlie Brown Christmas - the album, is a Christmas listening tradition with me. I am not an overt fan of jazz per se, but the animation coupled with the music, especially being a Yuletide theme, makes this a holy day(s) favourite.

The music for It's the Great Pumpkin resonates as well....when the 31 Oct was just one day and life had a greater sense of innocence and the truly demented and macabre was still in the future.

I liked that album when I was a kid, but I find the track Linus and Lucy is the only one I repeatedly listen to.

Quote
"Linus and Lucy" is a popular instrumental jazz standard written by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Guaraldi). It serves as the main theme tune for the many Peanuts animated specials (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanuts_animated_specials) and is named for the two fictional siblings, Linus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Van_Pelt) and Lucy Van Pelt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Van_Pelt). The jazz standard was originally released on Guaraldi's album Jazz Impressions of A Boy Named Charlie Brown (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_Impressions_of_A_Boy_Named_Charlie_Brown) in 1964, but it gained its greatest exposure as part of A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Charlie_Brown_Christmas_(soundtrack)) the following year.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_and_Lucy#cite_note-AMSong-2) It is one of the most recognizable pieces by Guaraldi and has gained status as the signature melody (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_signature_songs) of the Peanuts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanuts) franchise.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_and_Lucy#cite_note-3)

Am I allowed to not like classical music?  Does it disqualify me from being a tradcat?  

The only thing close I like is Palestrina, polyphony and sacred chant from Roman and Orthodox traditions. 
Otherwise, I like Irish music, old-timey Appalachian music, choral music, Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians, Sing Along with Mitch (Miller), around the campfire music from my childhood, old English ballads, swing music, popular music from the ‘30’s-‘50’s, Patsy Cline, the Lennon Sisters, Buddy Holly, (NO Elvis!), Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, Peter, Paul, and Mary, American folk music, some folk-rock or softer rock, Simon and Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Bash and Young, Cat Stevens before he went Muslim, mid-1960’s amateur garage rock of the more melodic type if feeling silly, some Motown, some 60’s-present rock/pop, a few alternative bands from the 90’s, 2000’s, REM, Gin Blossoms, assorted individual songs.  

ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY METAL, DEATH METAL, RAP, HIP-HOP, anything with obscenities, descriptions of sex acts, murdering cops or your grandmother, anything against the Catholic religion or Jesus, Mary, the Saints, that which is holy, nothing praising idols, etc.  A big NO to any music that is just raunchy. 

I’m not into jazz, opera, country and western, but these last three I don’t consider evil, they’re just not my taste.  

I admit to liking The Medical Missionary Sisters, early V2, but NOT for Mass!  I learned those songs at summer camp.

I enjoy all good classical music to be sure. The said piece of Rachmaninov is perfectly suited to this time of year, extending into November. It certainly tells an interesting story. It has been ages since I came across the Chausser Maudite piece. It also reminds me of the legend of the Chause Gallerie, of French Canadian folklore ( I dont think anyone actually came up for music for it though) :smirk:

A fun clairon (bugle) tune.

This choral piece was technically illegal until about five years ago! There's a story behind it.

Famed choral composer Eric Whitacre wrote a setting to music of Robert Frost's Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. It was as you see, rehearsed and recorded in Minnesota.

The problem is, he never secured the rights to the poem because Frost's estate let no one use the text. He has a librettist friend who wrote something to fit the meter of both the original Frost and the music that had been set to it. And the rest is history.

This is one of those that may take time to get used to. My first time hearing it I liked how it started, but then it sounded too dissonant and messy. This rendition is one of the clearest, and once you learn the melody and rhythm, it is much more enjoyable. Interestingly it can sound entirely joyful and dark/scary at the same time or depending on which way you interpret it.

Not a great recording, but a catchy tune

This one's unique and really good in my opinion. I think the composer was Catholic.

It has to be Beethoven's Ninth.  I believe that was Bp. Williamson's favorite.  He had the entire seminary listen to it and I thought that he was going to be caught up in the Rapture he was so excited.

It is a delight to listen to. To sing could be considered a penance unto itself. A vocalist or someone who could write for the voice he was not.
