I love Tallis, thanks. That was my intro to Brit classical. Elgar, Tallis, Williams, Britten, Parry. I will post my favs when I get a min.

For something pleasant to talk about, I was curious if there are any classical music enjoyers here and if so, what song or songs do they usually have stuck in there head... or consider their favorite at the moment.???

Here is whats been going through my head since yesterday as I was floating on my back at Crestasee staring up at those magnificent mountains.

Good thread. Slightly off-topic: I'm going digital. Any suggestions on how to sort classical music in iTunes? By composer, performer (artist), or etc? If by composer it will mess up all the other non-classical music sorting.

Love Bottesini, so lyric

I sorted stuff manually, created groups. But I think you attach a style to all pieces, then sort by style? Say, classical, electro, indierock..

Today it is this for me

that was very very lovely, thanks

This is it

This thread has inspired me to check out some stuff by an old friend. So glad he plays cello and not sax.

Gong and tam-tam are actually two distinct instruments. The difference is that a gong is tuned to a certain note, while the tam-tam is not.

This stuff makes me almost a believer
