Long long ago, before there was Heavy Metal, Head Bangers, or Hard Rock, there was Bach, Wagner, Beethoven, Berlioz, and a host of others.
Light some candles, turn the lights off, perhaps two glasses of good mellow wine, draw the drapes, put out some extra pillows, hold your love close, and let's bang heads the way it used to be done!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed at least some of the music. The REQUIM DIES IRAE is by HECTOR BERLIOZ, and th FUGUE IN D MINOR is by J.S. BACH
LMAO!!!!!

I know what you mean, The Lone Ranger is so connected with the William Tell Overture, it took me years and years to be able to listen to it without seeing the Masked Man ride across the west. . .
ReplyDeleteNow I know what Mickey was doing instead of answering my IM....ROFLMAO
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I thought that "O, Fortuna" is a Carl Orff composition, part of Carmina Burana.
ReplyDeleteIt is listed like written by Wagner in your playlist. Is it a mistake?
We pretty much grew up with those things, back there in Europe. At least in my country... they did not let us listen to "subversive" rock music, but the classics had no lyrics... LOL! They tried to censor some Verdi, though... like that "heavy" part from Nabucco... Ha! It did not work!
You are 100 percent correct!!! Carl Orff put the poem to music!! Thanks for correcting me on this!!!
ReplyDeleteI like classical music, but somehow I don't get around to listen to it very often. On New Years Day I always watch the new year's concert on tv, broadcasted live from Vienna.
