Derrell M Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Aldona, LOL! Sorry our childhood reminicences rattled the rapture of your cultural experience. If this will in any way make up for our misdeeds, I would like to bring up what is quite possibly the grandest, most moving piece of music ever heard: Mozart's Requeim. As performed by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields orchestra and choir under the direction of Sir Neville Marinier, the instruments themselves seemed to cry out, mourn, rage, and weep with a true human voice that came from the depths of a most tortured soul that connected with the collective soul of humanity and spoke for it in the most eloquent of speech.

Moderators Nan Posted September 18, 2005 Moderators Share Posted September 18, 2005 OK I spent Saturday night at a fund raising sacred concert at one of the local churches. The acoustics were suss and the backing tapes all too loud but apart from that not a bad night - and if 3 of the items were Sammy's son Victor on the cello, Victor's son Daniel singing a song and wound up with his wife singing 'Where noone stands alone' for the final item, that is OK. <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I think that is somewhere between Sesame St and your opera Aldona <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldona Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I love all kinds of music, from Byzantine Chant to the very latest electronic stuff, but I grew up in a home where classical music was taken seriously and played constantly, so I learned very early that CLASSICAL MUSIC ROCKS!!! (in a manner of speaking...) <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> And I was very disappointed when I discovered (at school) that most kids knew nothing about it and thought it was for geeks and snobs! I thought it was just normal. aldona Quote www.asrc.org.au (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Melbourne)Helping over 2000 refugees & asylum seekers each monthIMSLP/Petrucci Music LibraryThe Public Domain Music Score Library - Free Sheet Music DownloadsLooking for classical sheet music?

Michelle Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Aldona--I was raised in a house in which my mom wouldn't allow us to listen to classical music! She hates it. Can't stand violins or any string instruments (I have to admit, I can not stand anything short of perfection with stringed instruments--it is sheer torture to listen to a beginner--worse than fingernails on a chalkboard!!!!!). My dad loves classical and has a lovely selection of LPs which I was never allowed to listen to, even Julian Bream! (I mean, that's a bit too far--yeah, a guitar is stringed, but my goodness, it's not a violin!) So I "discovered" classical music in high school when I started playing French horn. Wow! I remember the first time I heard Beethovan's Fifth symphony all the way through--I was blown away! Of course, being a brass player, I'm partial to brass music. My all time favorite symphony is Dvorak's 9th. I've heard it live several times and have at least 3 recordings (my DH has made me stop buying copies of it, as well as Mozart's Horn Concerti, of which I have about 5 copies--since I'm not a professional, I can't justify more than that--my horn teacher had more than that, but he justifies it to himself and his wife by saying it's research! ). We took my parents to hear Canadian Brass when they were visiting us in the spring. They really enjoyed it (as did my boys, and of course my DH and I). Mom likes instruments other than strings! I joke and say that my kids are going to grow up to love Country music because they "aren't allowed" to listen to it here. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldona Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 You weren't ALLOWED to listen to classical music? That boggles the mind.

Moderators Bravus Posted September 18, 2005 Moderators Share Posted September 18, 2005 So, I'm downloading some Opeth, a Swedish death metal band... no matter how weird y'all are, I still think on this one I'm probably off the continuum...

swisskris Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 My Dad listened to to only two types of music when I was growing up: Classical piano and Country Western. I grew up with Chopin and Johnny Cash. Later I learned to appreciate the beauty of the former, but unfortunately I think I can still recite the words from most of greatest hits of "the man in Black".

Paul Beach Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Dear person, Mrs. Gray's friend from Burma used to pronounce Yngwie Malmsteen like "Angry Monster." He totally disregarded the way it was spoken - quite rude actually. Mrs. Gray's favorite Swedish singer is the Swedish Chef. "Dee dor dee da ump a bor de bor, de dor de der de say ump bork bork bork." If you ever need something translated to something the Chef would understand, some nerd with too much time on his hands made a translator: http://www.almac.co.uk/chef/chef/swedish.html (It didn't work for Mrs. Gray, but maybe you could get it to work.) Listen to the Chef song here: Sincerely, Mrs. Gray []http://www.thenest.nu/archive/scam_letters/swedish_chef_01.jpg[/] CLICK HERE Now that's some really good Swedish singing for you. Sincerely, Mrs. Gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Is it on DVD yet? I saw the previews, and the thought of Gromit dancing still has me in giggles. I can't wait to see it. How about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Anyone seen it yet? Reviews? Nerd comparos to the books/original TV series? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
