Confession: I am a certified music teacher who rarely feels compelled to tune into someone else performing. I admire how my son, daughter and husband do so on a regular basis each in their own unique way. I have designed this Blog to spur me towards listening to a variety of music on a regular basis as I am committed to sharing my observations, thoughts and feelings.
Blog schedule below, please note that I'm open to suggestions:
Mondays -My Monday: Anything I know and love
Tuesdays -Traditional Tuesday: Serious 'Classical' music
Wednesdays -What's New Wednesday: Nothing over 5 years old
Thursdays -Throwback Thursday: Songs/Artists we should know 1960-1985
Fridays -Freedom Friday: ???? leave suggestions in the comments
One thing I've been enjoying recently is the use of full (several octave) choral sounds where you might not expect.
ReplyDeleteIn a symphony: Mahler's 2nd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdc5n562zZg I think the choral part starts around 1:15:19. Maybe listen to a few minutes before for some context.
In a movie score: Crimson Tide Main Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGWgZH41CVY I've never even seen this movie, but heard it through my Hans Zimmer Pandora Station.
Alternative Music: Paranoid Android by Radiohead: We own this song.
Thanks, I would never have come up with those on my own.
