guitarrero Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Bach and Vivaldi!!! There are some great websites where you can download the classical composers' sheet music if you play an instrument. PM me if you'd like to know the urls or if you're looking for a particular piece. hi! hope my query doesn't turn you off but why/what do you like about bach and vivaldi? Quote Link to comment
Boysbe Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 hi! hope my query doesn't turn you off but why/what do you like about bach and vivaldi? Piano composition, well if play piano, you'll understand that some classical music are used to educate people as to how to play the piano, after you play a couple of compos, especially Bachs, you'll really love classical music,its soothing. If ever you would want to listen to classical music, try listening to Joe Satriani, he turns piano compositions to guitar, playing Satch Boogie, Beethoven's 5th, and such to guitar tunes.

Joe satriani's music is a typical mood setter, if you try to listen to his soprano lines(as you said in your previous quote) you might like it (depending on the person). Let me give you a better explanation, before listening to some contemporary music, which is to others really boring even for me once, I 1st had an advice from a friend to listen to Satriani's music, so after I had listened to Satriani,I realized that I like that song but I prefer listening to it in a more soothing play, after listening to its symphony version I then developed a craving to contempo and classic songs, it really depends on the person. Others tend to listen to the revival of a certain song rather than its original, but sometimes we tend to hate its revival then tune back to its original, thats my point. Another example is I like listening to classical music and to its remixed version playing it on my guitar or piano, like Beethoven's 5th played in piano and then in guitars, theres a sort of a craving you develop after months of practice playing it either by guitar or piano, so to others, playing a song in piano over and over makes him realize that he appreciates it and even likes it. So to others, even if you wont believe me, a plastic display is much more appriciated than a sizzling steak, and why is it that? They cant eat a sizzling steak, maybe because they are too old and with its high colesterol and fats, its a deadly meal, so they would rather watch a plastic display. ,its the simple things that makes us appreciate the bigger things in life. But then again, why read a book that you cant understand? thats the same reason why some people dont like reading a book or listening to this type of music, its either they have a hard time in understanding it, or they dont appreciate it. Its a concept of understanding, to some they like jazz,they hate pop, others love rap, they hate rock, it depends entirely on the person, he cam either sits back, relax, try to appreciate the song and try to understand its concept, or he would rather listen to other songs with simplier lyrics.

guitarrero Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 frankly, i still don't understand what you are talking about. be that as it may, let's leave it at that. to that person who loves bach and vivaldi, i hope you've listened to the recordings made by trevor pinnock and i think the english chamber orchestra on period instruments. i downloaded the brandenburg concerti [all 6] and another earlier recording with benjamin britten conducting and i must say that the pinnock recording really puts you back in the period. their use of sonido blanco is very effective.

Thanks, well thanks for reading my previous posts, even if its a little hard to understand, and I hope others would have a better understanding in listening to contemporary and classical music. check out the calendar of CCP [cultural center of the philippines] and you can also try the local conservatories. also try to follow the season of the clarion ensemble Ill try to be there...

guitarrero Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 radio and recorded music is nice, but it [recorded music] is still a bad copy of a performance. i still think music is best appreciated live, a gestalt experience, when everything is directed towards the now, the real people, in situ.

manyaque Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 good for you girl! seems to me you like the slower pieces. maybe you would also like the impressionists: check out ravel's pavane for a dead princess, debussy's clair de lune [moonlight], satie's gymnopedies. Nice suggestion! That's where people should head next to further deepen their classical music experience. But don't give up on Baroque if you haven't sat through Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suites. Intense! Quote Link to comment

guitarrero Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 i recently downloaded music by john dowland, the great renaissance lutenist from the british isles. what was very interesting was sax player john surman was in it, and some sections had improvisations. mind blowing! Quote Link to comment

But don't give up on Baroque if you haven't sat through Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suites. Intense! No.. you don't have to say that coz i am already into classical music.. Bach's baroque( air on the g-string) and prelude in C are my faves..I am a pianist you know.. a classical pianist.. but i am versatile or flexible I can play jazz, pop, upbeat too and etc. on the piano or keyboard..
