Psalm45_9

What’s your favorite Classical Music Period and why? I like Baroque, I guess it must be the blends of all the sounds into one piece of music.
 
I too am a baroque fan. But I hesitate to call it my favorite, because I love the classical era, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydyn. I like it - as one person described Mozart as “The laughter of God”

Was Shubert classical era? He was great.

Sorry, the computer messed things up, it was supposed to be a poll, lol. I started another thread. Schubert was a composer during the Romantic Period along with Chopin.
 
Classical period with baroque second. However, I find as I get older, my appreciation grows for romantic and post romantic.

I tend to prefer concertos. It doesn’t seem to mater what instrument.

Seriously,
I have always wondered what famous baroque piece has the greatest number of melodies/themes running at the same time?
Anyone have a guess?

Why is Baroque music Baroque?

'Cause someone shot it with Pachelbel’s Canon!

Ba-dum BUM!

I like it all, starting with 8th-century chant, all the way to 1912. There’s not a lot (except for Brit composers like Vaughn-Williams and Holst) from the 20th century that I care for; I prefer harmony to dissonance. Actually, I think much of the best music of the 20th century was written for the stage and the movies. When I was studying music education, what I really wanted to was learn composition and write music for the movies. John Williams became who I wanted to be, and I think he probably did a better job if it than I would have.

So now, rather than composing, I just sort of sit around and de-compose.

I like many individual pieces of classical music, but I don’t know enough about the different styles to give an educated answer. Anyone have a brief synopsis of the history of western classical music?

One of my favorite early music albums is La Rondinella’s “Songs of the Sephardim.” Does that count as classical or is that considered folk?

I would like to expand my music collection but the choices are so vast it’s hard to know what to buy. What would you suggest if I wanted to spend just $20 a month?

I like choral music. I got to sing in the chorus of Rossini’s Stabat Mater in university. Of course, they didn’t tell us at all what the words meant (public university).

Yes! 😃 It’s the Scottish Motto of the Sacred Order of the Thistle. It is carved above the gates of Edinburgh Castle and is inscribed on the coins and badges of Scotland along with the Saltire (St. Andrew’s Cross), he is their patron Saint. The Legend of Thistle states that the Vikings tried to invade Scotland by night. The Norsemen walked barefoot across the countryside in order to surprise the sleeping Scotts, but then they walked straight into a patch of thistles. With the first cry of agony the Scotts awoke and slaughtered the Vikings. The Scotts thanked their patron St. Andrew, for interceding on their behalf, and the term “Nemo Me Impvne Lacessit” came into being as a memorial of that occasion.
