I heard Barber's Adagio for Strings on ER tonight. My roommate was watching it and I was trying to place the music and then all of a sudden I recognized it.

oh cool, i just watched "all the presidents men" and it had(i think) a piece from vivaldi's the four seasons.
i deleted all my messages period.

Oh that's a terrible definition, but since Johann Strauss waltzes were popular music in theirday but are listed with classical music, I can't be more specific. In any case, popular genres aren't even considered cross-over classical unless they feature symphony orchestras or string quartets and the like.

I'll cheerfully check out Adiemus, but maybe we should have a different thread for New Age groups. By the way, check out Amethystium.

Call me thick but what's new age?
Sorry, i usually class classical music as anything played on Classic FM.

Elfhelm · 10-03-2003, 12:10 PM

hehehehe

Your definition is as good as any.

So, you're saying they play that band on classical FM? It must be a crossover.

Oh wait... Some classical FM stations play a show called "Music from the Heart of Space" which is entirely new age. New Age is classically influenced, but is new.

hectorberlioz · 10-03-2003, 12:18 PM

I dont think Adiemus is new age music. i've heard that before and its not new age.

hectorberlioz · 10-03-2003, 02:23 PM

A new cd just came out called "Salieri arias" sung by...some famous opera singer. Its purpose is to take salieri out from the shadow of mozart.
what does everyone think about this 'salieri killed mozart' thing?
i think it could have happened, but since we have no evidence of it, its unlikely overall. good story though.

Elfhelm · 10-03-2003, 02:38 PM

I think he was speaking metaphorically, as in Salieri "killed" my chance of being the court composer.

hectorberlioz · 10-03-2003, 02:42 PM

of course.
and i meant that in AMADEUS, salieri supposedly poisoned mozart. and i wanted to know what you guys think of that.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your right!
i get it now! salieri in the beginning of the movie says "truly have i killed you mozart!" he was talking about ruining mozart et cetera.... not an outright 'kill'.
thanks again elfhelm!

b.banner · 10-03-2003, 04:34 PM

mozart probally died of some sort of sickness .

hectorberlioz · 10-03-2003, 04:37 PM

yeah, he had some sickness early in life and it affected him later.
mozart died at age 36. schubert died at age 31

b.banner · 10-03-2003, 04:41 PM

how old was hector berlioz when he died ?

not sure of the exact dates, but he was born in 1803 and died in 1869, making him 66 or 65 (depending on what day he died)

you can find lots of info on him at www.hberlioz.com

Right now I'm listening to Carmina Burana by Karl Orff. Anyone know it? It's been a favorite of mine for many years...

Alqualaure · 10-05-2003, 01:09 PM

Didn't Schubert commit suicide???

Alqualaure · 10-05-2003, 01:14 PM

Oh, and I just have to mention - sorry if this is OT! - I think someone mentioned movie scores in this thread...

Last night I was listening to the soundtrack from "Gladiator" by Hans Zimmer. If you like the movie I daresay you'd love the soundtrack - very powerful. Anyone here familiar with it?

Sheeana · 10-05-2003, 02:51 PM

My favourite piece at the moment is Bolero by Ravel.

Elvedans · 10-05-2003, 03:45 PM

I'm not always keen on opera but i like the Pearl Fishers' duet. It's a nice piece.

Anglorfin · 10-05-2003, 06:49 PM

I'm not a fan of opera all that much but I do like classical compositions. It takes so much skill to put together things that big. Skill for the composer, the director, and the musicians playing the piece.

***Earniel*** · 10-06-2003, 07:28 AM

At the moment I'm very fond a piece that (I believe) is called Fantasia on British Sea Songs by sir Henry Wood.

I also have a liking for classical music with horns and drums. Does anyone know a few good pieces with both these instruments?

I just wish I knew more of classical music. I don't have a head for names of pieces and composers.

But then again, that goes for any kind of music.

whenever I have an urge to hear horns, I listen to Handel (Water Music, in particular IIRC)

The singer is Cecilia Bartoli. Heard a review of it on CBC awhile ago.

and yeah, the Salieri killed Mozart is unlikely, but it did make for an entertaining movie: Amadeus
