When I found out about Ode to Joy being the EU anthem, I thought, what would Beethoven say if he was alive today.....He'd say, "Let me out of this box, I'm suffocating!!"

Ha ha! It's a shame really, It's such a nice piece of music but it is sad what is must represent.
You Brits don't really like the EU now do you?
I am happy that Europe has such a great anthem (not many countries actually can say that they have such a great anthem....a shame that Schillers poem is not the lyrics of the anthem......great together...really....)

I love that piece of opera (O mia Babbino)! I'll have to give Arvo Part a try, I've never heard his music. Are you a fan of Handel?
I just happened to stumble across Arvo Part one night when I was listening to Classical FM...I couldn't sleep and put my radio on and they were playing Speigel Im Spiegel ... I was absolutely taken by it.. It actually made me a bit teary. 😮
Yes I do like Handel. 🙂
Although I wouldn't be able to name pieces of the top of my head... but I definitely know I do like some of his work.
I am terrible with names of stuff..... 😮
Anyone who's a fan of Handel should have their heads checked out. Handel plagarized the music of Bach. How unoriginal is that! Anyway, Handel's music is ultimately just an empty representation of Bach's idiom. Bach is the GOD of music...it's impossible to surpass him.
I also enjoy Beethoven, Mozart, Stockhausen, Mendelsohn and Thaikovski.

Meh,
How are you all?
Oooo We're going to the melbourne Symphony Orchestra on Sunday to hear Simon Tedeschi Play His main theme song Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin!!!)!!!!!! Looking forward to it 🙂
When my sister studied music in college, she played the cello with a small city orchestra; the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra. I always enjoyed going to her concerts. I've heard them play Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, Dvorak's New World Symphony, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto and works by Shostakovich among others. Part of her requirement for her degree was organizing and then putting on a performence. She played Bach's Cello Suite No.1. After she graduated, she spent a year teaching choir at the high school in the town where I live but she hated being a school teacher. Now she gives private lessons and she makes a living at it. She's even putting together a small orchestra comprised of her private students. The reason I mention all this is because my love and appreciation for classical music kind of developed through her.
