Chopin Waltz No.5 A flat Major

I have the privilege of page turning for my friend in this song in an exam next week.

I don't really know classical music although I listen to quite a bit. I have maybe three dozen CDs of classical music that I've bought from pawn shops over the years and I listen to them daily while I drive to work - but I don't know who composed what or song/music names or where they're from (what opera, what country, date, etc). I just know I like 'em.

LvB - Symphony #9 in D minor, particularly the 2nd movement.

Bach - The Brandenberg Concertos, Karajan/Berliner Philharmoniker version.

 

[Agent327]

Excellent choices, obviously (although the Brandenburg Concertos are my personal least favourite Bach).

Bartok - Hungarian Sketches/Rumanian Dances

 

[Agent327]

Stravinsky - Petrushka

Oh, sorry, I guess I dropped my monocle around here somewhere.

Carl Nielsen - Symphony No. 3 (Sinfonia Espansiva)

 

[Agent327]

Excellent choice, Mr Cribb! Haven't heard Nielsen in a while...

 

[Richard Cribb]

Thank you, sir.
I am just in the process of rediscovering his great works myself.
Quite an underestimated composer, I would say.

 

[Agent327]

Quite possibly. I remember being quite fond of Saga-drom.

Also, the rest of Civ 2's Wonder Movies' music. Ye Gods, what would I do without youtube

Oh, and this totally qualifies as a classic

Maybe it's not really "classical music", nbecause the pieces are less than one year old, and they are not for classical orchestra, but this probably still is the best thread to post them: I play in what in Dutch is called a "fanfare orkest". It's a village band, similar to a wind band (like an Amrican high school band), but with different instrumentation (e.g. soprane saxophone and flugel horns instead of flutes and clarinets).

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, we played at a big international contest in The Netherlands. Here are some excerpts:

finale of "The Lost Labyrinth" (Kevin Houben):

(the vocal part is based on / taken from Gregorio Allegri's Miserere)

finale of "From Ancient Times" (Jan Van der Roost / Tom D'Joos)

Hope you enjoy it!

btw, we won the contest
