Autumn Leaves in the Styles of 10 Classical Composers (7:46) ~ Nahre Sol

Oh, I missed it.

I shared that one first, before other covers, in chat yesterday. The best.

No Vivaldi 'Autumn'? 😞

The most beautiful, mesmerizing musical piece ever. Satie was a genius.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-12-17T00:27:02+00:00

Such alienation and dread. Such barely concealed paranoia. This is what it's like to live under a dictatorship. The more symphonic part at 21:00 is played so briefly and carefully, almost like entrusting a forbidden secret.

JasonCarswell · 2021-12-01T11:04:21+00:00

Isn't life beautiful,
Isn't life gay,
Isn't life
The perfect thing
To pass the time away.

Blasphemy but I wouldn't mind hearing his take on The Prince's Panties.

Awesome! Thank you. I'm excited. This piano one is indeed a banger.

I'll go into my archive tomorrow and post what I think are some representative pieces of what I consider to be "death metal" classical pieces in the coming days. "Death metal" is just a term I personally use for really intense virtuosic classical pieces. For me personally a "death metal" classical piece doesn't even have to be orchestral. For example, I personally consider this to be "death metal" when it's just a piano, but it's really fast and really intense. An obvious example of another popular intense piece is this of course, but it's been so overdone it's become tacky unfortunately, and I want to post some other pieces anyway.

soundsituation · 2021-11-15T00:44:28+00:00

I was actually wondering if you had any more examples of metal classical, rhythmic and pretty but still hard af like this one.

ISaidWhatISaid · 2021-11-15T00:12:57+00:00

What would you like to hear from Schumann? More slow parts/adagios or more of Schumann's symphonies/orchestral pieces? I have a lot of his string pieces, I can post some of my personal favourites from those if you'd like.

soundsituation · 2021-11-09T21:36:23+00:00

Got anything else like this?

JasonCarswell · 2021-10-26T00:31:43+00:00

No, it's sad - and you're pathetic.

socks · 2021-10-26T00:19:50+00:00

Oh man - hard truth...

lol

Seriously - you know that's hilarious.

JasonCarswell · 2021-10-25T22:37:53+00:00

This is why you're obviously the mindless enemy who can't fucking wake up. The hard truth is boring to you.

socks · 2021-10-25T20:03:42+00:00

boring...

JasonCarswell · 2021-10-25T19:33:07+00:00

It's apparent that you do need 'nice' and that you really don't know how to identify an "authoentic" person,

You're making up more bullshit and lies. I don't need nice, I just want no lies, and you can't even do that. You can't even fucking spell "authentic".

If I use the term "integrity" will you find some actual independent integrity and stop fucking lying so I may resume being civil to you?

There is a class war / info war on and you're on the WRONG SIDE. You KNOW this to be true but your a lying fucking authoritarian shill and you fucking know it. You don't need to be but until you stop lying you are MY ENEMY.

FUCK OFF with your timesuck cry bully shit.

socks · 2021-10-25T17:35:47+00:00

It's apparent that you do need 'nice' and that you really don't know how to identify an "authoentic" person, whatever that is (eg. perhaps someone who is not a chimpanzee acting like a person, in which case I'd rather be the chimpanzee, given the state of humanity at the moment). The word you might be looking for is: integrity. You'll sound better if you use that term, especially if you try to show some integrity, rather than focus on the usual blind hatred. I was surprised you had any knowledge of Bach, and thus provided more information on the history of that particular lute, in honor of the post. After I posted it I thought: but wait - what if JC responds with his usual broken record nonsense hatred? It's almost like reading an author who has Tourette's syndrome, but in typescript, if there is such a thing. Check on those anger issues. In any event, "nice" chatting with you. See you on the flipside.

JasonCarswell · 2021-10-25T15:21:34+00:00

Bullshit.

I don't need nice and I don't need lies.

I expect and demand that people be authentic and not be manipulative, deceptive, harmful, murderous, nor help those who are. If they aren't authentic I'll call them out - like you who supports the murderous authorities while willfully remaining ignorant and claiming ignorance.

Now fuck off you proven liar and timesuck sealioning shill and don't comment on my posts unless invited - or unless you change your ways.

socks · 2021-10-25T14:36:31+00:00

No - you won't. You'll continue to expect others to be nice to you.

JasonCarswell · 2021-10-25T13:45:56+00:00

I wrote it. I'll remember.

Go fuck yourself and your sealioning shilling - or better: come correct and honest.

socks · 2021-10-25T12:16:16+00:00

Remember this, Jason.

JasonCarswell · 2021-10-25T11:53:48+00:00

So sad that you have some knowledge (and Wikipedia) that is fundamentally limited without a full contextual understanding and the wisdom to actually apply it for good.

Pretending to be legit is not the same thing as actually being authentically respectable and people see through your shit.

Don't comment on my posts unless invited to.

soundsituation · 2021-10-25T05:49:10+00:00

This is gorgeous.

Excellent - a 24 string archlute with 14 courses, initially developed around 1600 and used until around the 1670s.

Mad skills, but very different than this talent.

mahavishnunj · 2021-10-25T00:30:25+00:00

the instrument that is being played there is obviously crazy, but the level that person is playing it is so comfortable, while playing a complicated piece. such an example of beauty. not a single bad note, just excellence the whole time. amazing.

mahavishnunj · 2021-10-24T18:37:58+00:00

Beautiful on every level.

Why couldn't Mozart find his teacher?

Because he was Haydn.

It was this or Serra Pelada, I like both but the first is more ominous, brooding and contemplative. PS. I don't give a fuck about The Truman Show.

Pompous intellectual cringe. Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Might make for an interesting Fantasia segment though.

No, it was not about a John Cage piece (speaking of which, I was gonna post some Cage before seeing your comment).

It was actually this piece:

Hans Werner Henze: Violin Concerto No.2 (1971)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiGN_Z8BUeo

A fine example of what happens when a classical music composer kinda loses the plot, develops ADD and ventures off into the woods of lala land. To be honest, I personally don't find this all that shitty (I've certainly heard worse), it actually has some very interesting and even funny parts in between the chaos, going back and forth between depth and frivolity.

JasonCarswell · 2020-10-01T19:06:48+00:00

Is it this one?:

4′33″ (pronounced "four minutes, thirty-three seconds" or just "four thirty-three") is a three-movement composition by American experimental composer John Cage (1912–1992). It was composed in 1952, for any instrument or combination of instruments, and the score instructs performers not to play their instruments during the entire duration of the piece throughout the three movements. The piece consists of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed, although it is commonly perceived as "four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence". The title of the piece refers to the total length in minutes and seconds of a given performance, 4′33″ being the total length of the first public performance.

Conceived around 1947–48, while the composer was working on Sonatas and Interludes, 4′33″ became for Cage the epitome of his idea that any sounds may constitute music. It was also a reflection of the influence of Zen Buddhism, which Cage had studied since the late 1940s. In a 1982 interview, and on numerous other occasions, Cage stated that 4′33″ was, in his opinion, his most important work. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians describes 4′33″ as Cage's "most famous and controversial creation".

The Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, is a symphony in four movements composed by Ludwig van Beethoven between 1811 and 1812, while improving his health in the Bohemian spa town of Teplice. The work is dedicated to Count Moritz von Fries. At its premiere, Beethoven was noted as remarking that it was one of his best works. The second movement, Allegretto, was the most popular movement and had to be encored. The instant popularity of the Allegretto resulted in its frequent performance separate from the complete symphony.

It was either this or Shaker Loops - which I actually saw performed live 15+ years ago - but I went with this one. What I like best about this track is that he took minimalism and managed to make it sound so regal and sweeping while maintaining its wavey/droney qualities.

JasonCarswell · 2020-09-16T14:41:03+00:00

"Fun" used to be "Funny". There was an official announcement about it about a year ago or more. I always upvote anything not serious as "Fun", especially all things entertainment. And sometimes I and others will give things both votes to reward all 3 points (every "insightful" earns 2 points and every "fun" earns 1 point). I also often give folks votes to mark which ones I've read in long threads. The votes IMO are mostly meaningless other than a vague indicator of popularity.

IMO, this voting system is for shit, though still better than the up/down.

I've thought long and hard about a better alternative voting system but it would not only require convincing the coders, the users, and actually building/implementing it that it would only be practical on a new site. It's only slightly more complex to get better analysis, yet simple, though certainly there would be people complaining about anything slightly mores complex. It'd be easier to show in an illustration.

Dude, who the hell pressed the laughter emoji on you posting Bach? Since when is Bach funny? :\ They did it to me too, so who's laughing at us posting classical music?

My faves are: #2 I-III, #3 I-III, #5 I (impressive riffing), #4 I, III. I know they're the popular ones - for a reason, with a better hook.

" The Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1046–1051, original title: Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments) are a collection of six instrumental works presented by Bach to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt, in 1721 (though probably composed earlier). They are widely regarded as some of the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era. "

It almost doesn't get any more death metal than this kids. Premiered in 1946, and this is post 2WW C-PTSD from Hitler's Blitzkrieg bombings right here for your listening pleasure. Everything is startling, everything is a jump scare, you try to retain your composture only to get spooked again by something you can't see but try to shake off to no avail. I always thought of classical music being together and collected even at it's most dramatic, and had no idea classical music could sound this creepy, I didn't think it was capable of such sadistic-ironic psycho-horror, until I discovered Stravinsky and this concerto specifically. BTW, I had such a hard time finding a proper version of the whole concerto. I do have the full version by John Williams with Vienna Philharmonic - which is the superior one - here at home but it's not available in full on Youtube unfortunately. It's meant to be played fast but all the other fast versions on Youtube are old hissy LP pulls and bad quality.

" Vltava, also known by its English title The Moldau, and the German Die Moldau, was composed between 20 November and 8 December 1874 and was premiered on 4 April 1875 under Adolf Čech. It is about 13 minutes long, and is in the key of E minor.

In this piece, Smetana uses tone painting to evoke the sounds of one of Bohemia's great rivers. In his own words:

The composition describes the course of the Vltava, starting from the two small springs, the Cold and Warm Vltava, to the unification of both streams into a single current, the course of the Vltava through woods and meadows, through landscapes where a farmer's wedding is celebrated, the round dance of the mermaids in the night's moonshine: on the nearby rocks loom proud castles, palaces and ruins aloft. The Vltava swirls into the St John's Rapids; then it widens and flows toward Prague, past the Vyšehrad, and then majestically vanishes into the distance, ending at the Labe (or Elbe, in German). "

" "Can She Excuse My Wrongs" is a late 16th-century song by the English Renaissance composer John Dowland, the fifth song in his First Booke of Songes or Ayres (Peter Short, London 1597). The words are set to a dance-tune, a galliard. "

" The song is associated with Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, who was executed for treason in 1601 after he rebelled against Elizabeth I. The song is sometimes referred to as "The Earl of Essex Galliard", although that title normally refers to an instrumental version, "The Earl of Essex, his galiard", scored for viol consort and lute.

In my unfinished "epic" Bittersweet Seeds story (to be a screenplay / storyboard / animatic / feature), I have Miserere and Spem in alium in key scenes, potentially, for the soundtrack. Naturally all elements may change until it's final - as I have other alternatives in mind too, in case one "theme" works better in the end than another. To my point, for this potential particular "chorale theme" I'm still looking for more great epic choral pieces and soundscapes of a variety of moods, not just this churchy/funeral kind of stuff. I'm generally not into opera or choral music (among a few other genres), yet I know of some excellent potential candidates that don't stereotypically bug me. Suggestions very welcomed.

Also, FYI, my story is not about religion at all, however people die, and there's the potential of a God-like A.I.

" Spem in alium (Latin for "Hope in any other") is a 40-part Renaissance motet by Thomas Tallis, composed in c. 1570 for eight choirs of five voices each. It is considered by some critics to be the greatest piece of English early music. H. B. Collins described it in 1929 as Tallis's "crowning achievement", along with his Lamentations. "

" Miserere (full title: Miserere mei, Deus, Latin for "Have mercy on me, O God") is a setting of Psalm 51 by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri. It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for the exclusive use of the Sistine Chapel during the Tenebrae services of Holy Week, and its mystique was increased by unwritten performance traditions and ornamentation. It is written for two choirs, of five and four voices respectively, singing alternately and joining to sing the ending in 9-part polyphony. "

Interesting story about Mozart, if true.

I know I've seen some documentary about it somewhere.
