The women there are the best. Speaking of: I love that song. I also enjoyed Lenny Kravitz' version.

Classical music is such a crap shoot on YouTube. Like the Beethoven 5 is a solid recording, but I'm seriously wondering where some of those Bach organist were dug up. Yeah, I've had a time finding some of the ones in my playlist there, but hopefully most will be there. Or if not, I can post the title and you can try on your own. --------------------  |

Oh hell yes. I'm probably an even bigger music snob than I am book snob.  However, and I'll be honest here, I know more about lit than music. Since I haven't really sung for years, I don't as often have a reason to mention that I actually double majored in college--English and music. QUOTE (WolfeFPS @ Jun 22 2009, 01:47 AM) Heh... I'm sure most would take issue classifying these as classical pieces, but, yeah, they're good. Well, I did see Howard Shore conduct the Cleveland Orchestra. However, I think later I might post some more modern stuff. Sadly, stuff like the Gorecki Symphony 3 doesn't really fit in YouTube-length clips, and I'm hesitant to post the "highlights" I've seen, because it is just not the same. And if you want to go the truly classical/movie route, I'd love to post some Nyman, but again, he seems terrible underrepresented on YouTube.

There is a lot of argument about film scores... however, pretty much every classical composer did commissions, soooooo... that's my argument.

Probably the same way you would classify incidental music for the theater back in the day. A lot of that has survived as fine examples of music, while even more of it has been rightfully forgotten as trash. 100 years for now, people will probably think the same of film music. -------------------- |

No, that's bunk. Classical is classical because it's, well, classical. Film scores of today are contemporary orchestra, and aren't even in the same genre. Such logic assumes that country and rock are the same because both use guitars and drums. Now, while acknowledging having fun with a thread that's titled "Music that doesn't suck," I understand that HoC's intent was for classical music of the type, which includes romantic and baroque. There are composers of today who compose in that style for artistic expression (including John Williams, although he's never done so for a film score to my knowledge), but most film scores are most certainly not of a classical genre. -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.
