Classical music thread

Oh we used to sing this when I was in choir at school!!!!

I'm trying hard to get into the Monteverdi Vespers. We are performing this in November. I have the version by Paul Mc Creech. I think I need to sit down with the score and go through it.

Beethoven - moonlight sonata. full 15 minutes of pure musical genius.

It reflects how i feel at the moment.
Starts out dark and moody but becomes more happy later on. Wonderful piece.

I love this piece , I heard it on classic fm by accident and it got me hooked on classic music . Mirror in the Mirror is another piece which sounds a bit similar but less instruments I think .

Mirror in a Mirror , very relaxing .

Missa Brevis by Benjamin Britten. I heard this on the radio this morning and found it especially haunting. I have heard it before and would like to sing it. It sounds quite challenging.

I haven't heard that for years!

I haven't got a link to it but this recording was done by the Sixteen.

All Angels - The Flower Duet : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9Xp8...=RDG9Xp88GE2hw

One of my all time favourite pieces of music.

I have to learn a new piece of music based on the diaries of Anne Frank. It is by James Whitbourn.

That sounds interesting and certainly not something I've come across..
