skybytch 273 #1 January 24, 2003 It's been years since piano lessons; it's time to broaden my musical horizons. What's your favorite classical music? Gimme specifics - composers, symphonies, movements, performers, performances. I just downloaded Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu... very nice.

For this new fusion of musical cultures de Courson and Youenn Le Berre bring together Irish musicians playing traditional instruments, and a baroque ensemble of strings and continuo named after Vivaldi’s pupils in Venice, Le Orfanelle della Pietà. Some of the finest musicians from each culture meet to play each other’s music, to improvise and exchange musical ideas and to find thrilling correspondences between the furious energy of Vivaldi’s Venice and the fiery romance of ancient Ireland.

Simon Ward, well known camera flier works for them. For me? The Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, not that keyboardy, but great choonz, and a superb background story, especially for one considering a life of celibacy and abstinence.(celebrity and absinthe?)If you don't recognise the name, you will almost certainly recognise the choon..."Lyrics and their origin The poems include the freshness of medieval love lyrics, exuberance of the drinking song, the zest of the sinner's 'confessions', the wild humour of the hymns to gambling and gluttony, the stoic litany to Lady Luck ('Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi') which Orff chose to open and close his score. Sex is also a dominant theme in many of the songs. Who were these richly gifted poets? They called themselves 'goliards' (defrocked monks and minstrels). Traditionally they have been identified as 'vagantes' (vagrant students, vagabond monks and minor clerics), said to have been 'better known for their rioting, gambling and intemperance than for their scholarship'. Yet whatever their social status, their artistic and technical skill seem to place them among the clerical and academic elite of the age." Toccata and Fugue in D minor by JS Bach also floats my boat. Sigh, too much music, too little time. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
