What classical Music moves you?

Rossini's Stabat Mater

anything opera... Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Mozart

Dvorak is nice... I like his Stabat Mater too... Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is great also.

Faure is one of my favorite composers... and I enjoy Schubert, Chopin and the choral works of John Rutter.

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

all of these, but i would have to say my all-time favorite composer is vivaldi and his baroque contemporaries, particularly the Baroque music that came out of Dresden -- fabulous. last week, i went with seminary class to see Rossini's "Barber of Seville" -- fantastic.

mmm... vivaldi....

did you know he was a priest?

[jiyoung]

My choir is doing "O Gloriosa Domina" by Giovanni Croce. Beautiful arrangement. The song basically reflects on Mary's identity as Queen of Heaven and Mother of God, and the irony in the fact that she is nursing her own Creator.

I love to listen to classical music but I don't have very many CDs (about 6) so I don't really know a lot about it but I like Tchiakovsky. And Handel. and I,m playing sonata No. 14 in C minor (a.k.a. Moonlight Sonata) by Beethoven and I like it

Lassus, Palestrina, Vaughn Williams, Berlioz, Beethoven, Tchiakovsky, Fauré...

[/quote]egads. That's sacrallige. Garage sales are usually cheaper. Check out the bargin bins in record stores and record departments.

Buy alot of varied stuff and burn cd's of your favorites. Classical music is a great reason for an iPod, since there are so many different emotions expressed in Classical. I have no favorites, it depends on my mood, though I hate the cd's that have "nature" sounds with music. The nature sounds either over power, or are too soft, or sound like electric static. Just plain ewwwwww.

I relly enjoy Mahler

[Sarah_JC]

I adore Baroque, I delight in Romantic... but I can't say I'm a huge classical music person. I enjoy Mozart, but the rest is lost on me.

Perhaps playing Ode to Joy in a first year violin recital of 200 kids (at once!) has made me bitter.

You can't mean that, violin sounds always heavenly, even though it's firstyears

[avemaria40]

I don't listen to a lot o f it, but I love the song Ave Maria and I also love some of these Classical Italian songs my voice teacher is teaching me

[Socrates]

Any of Beethoven's Symphonies.

(puts me in the mood for the old ultraviolence, o my droogs)

(those who have seen "A Clockwork Orange" will get the latter reference)

[daugher-of-Mary]

Oh man. Rachmoninov's Vespers is my all time favorite. I'm also a huge fan of Handel, Bach, Shubert, Schuman, and Mozart (as long as he wasn't writing for flutes!).

[Spiritual_Arsonist]

Classical Music holds primacy. Mozart and Bach are my favorites.

Next weekend I will be heading to the Detroit Symphony to see a MEdley of Baroque music and then on Sunday I will see the Messiah with 20 other semmies!

WOOT!!!
