CatherineM Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 FantasyLand Hotel at West Edmonton Mall. The Roman Room, or the Polynesian. The Polynesian has a waterfall into a hot tub. I'm definitely leaning that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartjp2 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Lulz, awesome thread. "Miserere Mei" by Lotti "O Magnum Mysterium" by Victoria "Sicut Cervus" by Palestrina "Ave Verum Corpus" by Byrd Anything by Bruckner or Brahms. Others that I can't think of now. Motets are smokin', man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I have always liked Bach. He really knew how to write for the brass section. Come, Jesus, Come is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sung it. It bored me to tears. And that normally never happens with this choir unless our conductor gets on a "let's do some 17th century composers who are obscure FOR A GOOD REASON"-spree. Apart from that, everything by Byrd or Palestrina reduces me to a quivering little heap of mmm-ness. (That actually happened once, it was very embarrassing.)

The Bus Station Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I don't know names of many individual pieces -- I have a Tallis Scholars playlist on my iPod with 40+ motets (I didn't even know they were called motets before this thread). I feel the same way about Palestrina -- pure catharsis. And I like Miserere a lot too... though I wouldn't say it's among my favorites. A wee bit too long. BTW if you're a big Palestrina fan I highly recommend the Tallis Scholars sing Palestrina CD -- it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
