Hate to break to you (And many others, tee-hee) But I'm also a countertenor

I'm studying music and hoping to perform (probably... haven't decided yet). Yes, that means I'm male, although most of you have prolly guessed it? Yeah, I've heard Andreas Scholl before, he's pretty cool... What did he do by Handel? Might have been something I've worked on before!

Stang · 12-19-2002, 03:49 PM

Yeah and when Laur goes on tour she's taking me with her

.

You need to make another composition so I can put it on the station and I want to hear more

.

Aluscia · 12-19-2002, 07:30 PM

Working on it, working on it...

He did "G.F.Händel: Water music; Arias from Xerxes, Rodelinda, Giulio Cesare." A little bit of this and a little bit of that, mainly. It was beautiful, however, all of it. As is typically the case for all of the music of that age, I think.

Aluscia · 12-20-2002, 09:12 AM

Hahahaha.... ahh... /me sighs... It's all so difficult! Especially if you start getting into Bach arias! Man, 7th leaps suck hardcore. Giulio Cesare! I worked on an aria from that last year... Let's see if I can remember what it was called.... hmm.... Drat, can't find it

Water music is for instruments only, ne? Or is that just the overture?

Ambush_Bug · 12-20-2002, 10:44 AM

Give me Sousa, or give me death!

Oh yeah.... happy birthday, Stang!

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 12-20-2002, 11:26 AM

I like the music from that period especially well.

Bach's Double Violin Concerto is one of my faves (even though I can't remember if that's from the same period or not... I knew it once.)

Walks on Clouds · 12-20-2002, 11:50 AM

Water music is instrumental, I think, yes. The main attraction actually only was on stage for three or four pieces. The arias, I presume.

Aluscia · 12-20-2002, 12:32 PM

Anything by JS Bach is of the era

All of the double instrument concertos, or concerto grossos, are AMAZING!!! My fav is by vivaldi, which I will attach here

Oh wait, it's like 400000 bytes too big... fuu

I'll figure something out...

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 12-20-2002, 01:24 PM

The one that I REALLY like is Vivace. The two violins play both with and against each other, but in harmony. It's totally amazing to just try and follow one violin through the piece, then try and follow the other.

I didn't know that there were more of the concerto grossos!? Can you point me to some, Laur? I do prefer string instruments though. Unless there is just a badass flute one out there. (I also like the Lost Woods song from the Legend of Zelda from N64.)

I also like Spring: Alllegro by Vivaldi (yeah, I know it's probably overplayed).

It's funny though. When people look at me they don't think that I love classical. They assume that I'm into the overplayed "teen-anger" type music that is out there now. My boss heard me listening to some Vivaldi, and told me that he would have never guessed in a million years that I liked classical music of any sort. I also like Celtic, techno, and music that just sounds "rich". Like there is a lot of meat to the song that is being played. Heh. Go figure I guess.

Stang · 12-20-2002, 04:55 PM

.

Ok back to the music

Walks on Clouds · 12-20-2002, 10:13 PM

My favourite classic piece of music is Johann Pachelbels Canon in D-major. He lived between 1653 and 1706, however, so he's a bit earlier than these others you speak of. That's what I call rich and beautiful music! *mmmm* Makes me go

Otherwise, I listen to anything that has a good melody and a nice sound. Good description, eh? My taste in music is unclassifiable.

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 12-20-2002, 10:51 PM

Oh! I forgot to mention that I absolutely HATE country!

Aluscia · 12-21-2002, 05:59 AM

lol... No Pachelbel fits right in, although he's honestly one of the One-hit-wonder guys... all the rest of his stuff is pretty base. Yeah, there's tons of crazy ass stuff in the Baroque era... Bach's Brandenburg Concertos (which are concerti grossi), The four seasons (which you know of), and a whole slew of concertos that everyone seemed to be writing. Look for A. Scarlatti, A. Corelli, Legrenzi, or if you like vocal stuff (I absolutely love the polychoral motets and grand concertos), Schütz, Carissimi, Handel, Purcell... And, last but not least, if you're into Baroque organ music (which is really the **** of the ****), Buxtehude, Telemann, Bach, or any of those German guys... They really had their stuff together

Hope that helps, Baroque music lovers... Once again, as soon as I can figure out my webhosting, I'll put a couple of mp3's up for you to check out

Ghryphen · 12-21-2002, 12:31 PM

Ahh sorry Laur, forgot about the hosting question you had. I'll send you an email.
