  1. Identifying Classical Music
    I know that this description is not going to be very good but here goes. I played this song in my school band a few years back, part of it sounds a lot like the main theme from the shining. Almost like the shining took it from this song. Sorry for the short explanation but that's all I got...

  4. Identifying Non-Classical music
    Hello, I'd like your help with Pamir songs please. I have chosen three Pamiri songs, but I do not know their meanings or words. I do not know for instances, if they are laments, epics, happy or sad songs etc. Could you please help me? The three songs can be heard on Youtube or on Amazon.com Here...
  5. Non-Classical Music
    Probably a well-discussed topic, but here's my take: I'm looking at Rock/Pop disks wherein almost every song is interesting enough to justify the long stay on the proverbial island. I propose limiting the collection to ten, so that there will be room on the raft for our classical and other such...
  6. Classical Music Discussion
    Good day to you all, Before I get into the main point, I'm a new user (about 2min before writing this thread). So if my post is in the wrong place, please excuse me. While I enjoy listening to classical music, I find it quite challenging to find the right type to my liking since I'm an...

    Keep Listening: It Works Years ago my older cousin Harold said that he preferred Shostakovich to the more "traditional" composers. At the time, my father and I thought that he was a heretic. I don't know if my cousin had a recording of Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth, for example; but if he did, I...

    A spin-off from a discussion elsewhere. A thread to share some of your favourite German pop/rock songs and bands. Bonus points for those singing in German. I'll start with my fave:
  10. Recorded Music and Publications
    I am not sure this will interest anyone here but I tried another web site that talks a lot of music and got no response. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Is there anyone here who collects old music publications? I have a song book that is just five years short of being 100 years old...
  11. Vocal Music
    The title pretty much says all ... what would be your top 15, 10 or top 5 albums of songs for voice and piano (OK, or solo voice only, or with lute, or some other instrument) by classical composers - being it lieder, melodies, chansons, canciones, ayres, songs etc.? I´m not thinking of more than...
  12. Non-Classical Music
    The Art Bears were a kind of avant-garde trio featuring Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause. I became particularly enamored with their 1979 release, Winter Songs. I later had an excellent Live in Prague album on vinyl. I can't find it on CD. Winter Songs is a collection of songs each...

    What are your favorite drinking songs? Big Bad Vodoo Daddy You and Me (And The Bottle Makes Three The Dubliners Whiskey In The Jar (I did a search and didn't see this this before, but hard to believe it's not there.)
  14. Keyboard Instruments
    Steinway announces its first player piano, somewhat updated. "When you buy a Spirio -- not you, necessarily; they run upwards of $110,000 -- it comes with an iPad loaded with a Spotify-like app. This app communicates with the piano via Bluetooth, prompting the piano to play any one of the 1,700...
  15. Composer Guestbooks
    Donaudy (1879- 1925) was the composer of 36 Arie di Stile Antiche, songs from which are still well known from recordings dating from around 1920 onwards, as well as from vocal recitals today. I thought it was worth starting a thread because the songs are so beautiful, even though the composer is...
  16. Vocal Music
    Hey guys, So I've been planning my senior recital (undergrad - baritone) and finding music has been a bit of a challenge. I've looked at hundreds of art songs (German, Italian, French, English), as well as many arias and now my voice teacher suggests looking at more contemporary stuff. Do you...
  17. Voice and Choir
    I am in my 20s. I have begun classical singing lessons few months ago but I stopped due to hectic schedule in school . The voice teacher said I am most probably a light/leggiero tenor but I doubt so because my high notes are not very easy and I thought I did a fairly credible job singing art...
  18. Solo & Chamber Music
    So I just recently ran into a type of song called a Vocalise. And I love it so much (the two I've listened to). However unfortunately due to how search engines the only vocalist I can find is the rachmaninoff one. Which is frustrating. I have also been looking for other very pretty pieces...

    Pick your five favorite, of my favorite Beatles and Rolling Stone songs. You don’t have to vote evenly, you can select all Beatles if you want. But only select up to five altogether. I’ll explain later. *16 minute medley of short songs of side 2: "You Never Give Me Your Money", “Sun King"...
