    NP: White Ghost Dancing (Ross Edwards)

    Includes Edwards' vibrant 'Concerto for Guitar and Strings' and the awesome, Arvo Part-like 'Veni Creator Spiritus', the latter being one of my favourite modern compositions.


    Franz_conrad, I've never heard of that work before. I'm having trouble finding it on the Internet and in the iTunes store. Would you mind telling me what it's from? Also, the 'Veni Creator Spiritus' - are you speaking of the choral theme from Mahler 8, or something else? Sorry, but my mind perked up when I read that, as I'm a pretty big Mahler fan, and, if there's another rendition of his music, I would love to hear it. Thanks. smile
  1. I don't think 'Veni Creator Spiritus' is a Mahler adaptation. The composer's discussion of it here makes it seem like an original work:

    The disc I was playing is this one:

    Edwards has a gorgeous gift for string orchestration.

    NP: Cello Concerto - Edward Elgar

    I first heard this in the film August Rush, supposedly played by the main character's mother, a concert cellist. Really beautiful piece of music, very passionate. Cello is one of my favorite instruments besides the horn. biggrin

    The worlds most overrated band.......according to some ill-informed people! tongue

    At the risk of having to field some abuse, in my youth, I always preferred The Monkees.

    Santana rocks! I have the legendary GREATEST HITS album myself, you know the one with a black person holding a white dove. Fantastic stuff there, but for some reason I associate much of this music, like "Black Magic Woman" with a horror sentiment as I played it continually while reading THE SHINING. Weird how the mind works. smile

    NP: "Innuendo" (Queen)
    I am extremely serious.

  2. NP: Creations (John Corigliano, I Fiamminghi - Flemish Radio Orchestra)

    A very satisfying oratorio, with Ian McKellan reading the first chapter of Genesis to Corigliano's intense orchestrtion. This CD also have the 'Elegy for Orchestra' and 'Voyage for Flute and String Orchestra' by the composer.

    Well, not until Wednesday really! biggrin

    Went down yesterday and set my tent up and had a chat with old friends who I rarely get to see except for the one week at Glastonbury once a year.


    NP : THE RITE OF SPRING - Igor Stravinsky



    Possibly The most influential orchestral work of the 29th century.

    NP: Requiem - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

    Is it just me, or does the beginning of the opening movement sound like something out of Pirates of the Caribbean? smile This is a really great piece, lots of good choral music. I'm listening to it from the beginning for the first time right now (though I bought it a month or two ago). Dies Irae[/i] is amazing! biggrin

    Requiem is possibly the finest musical work ever, along with Beethoven's 9th and 5th symphonies. Mind-blowing, unmatchable musicianship and mastery.

    NP: Beethoven's Last Night (A Last Illusion; it's the only track I currently own from this album sad) - Various

    Some really sweet electric guitar stuff! Awesome arrangement of well-known classical works. I don't usually go for remixes and arrangements of classical pieces, but this one just blows me away every time I hear it! The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is absolutely fantastic, and I really hope to get the rest of this album sometime.
