ORIGINAL: ChainedExistence Samuel Barber's Adigio for Strings-hauntingly beautiful, and maybe after hearing it that much, it wouldn't make me feel like crying every time.. quote:
though music, not "songs" perse-- Rhapodsy in Blue--Gerswhin American in Paris--Gershwin Awesome choices!!! My old music theory teacher played the Barber for us our very first day of classes...and he defined the piece as a large musical orgasm. OK, for a classical choice, it's Khatchaturian's "Spartacus" symphony. Especially the "Sparticus & Phrygea" movement. It's another tear jerker. As far as mixing up Ted & Todd....getting old sucks I must have sat here for 5 minutes while writing the post trying to remember which one it was that did "Bang on the Drum". I finally concluded that it absolutely was Ted, lol. Ah well, mea culpa, Todd! chymes
