Classical music thread

[Diablo]

The piece - "Gabriel's Oboe" - was composted by Ennio Morricone, who did the scores for the spaghetti westerns. I think some of these are classical music in their own right.

I believe the Golden Age of pop music was the 1960s, but maybe I'm biassed because I was around in that decade! These are still being listened to, played and performed after 50 years, which is a tenth of the way to go. I agree though that a lot of the pop stuff churned out today is more awful than awesome.
