Music Thread ~ CLASSICAL ~

[Calz]

Alright ... let's do this ...

We have heard from Classic Rock.

We have heard from Hard Rock.

We have heard from Spiritual.


Time to get serious ...

I loved all the above music threads ... but as I have grown older I truly appreciate classical the most.

Sign of aging perhaps.

Only time I "rock on" is here on the forum reliving memories of my youth (tho I certainly do appreciate it).

My father's favorite was Tchaikovsky. I rebelled as much as most do ... but I cannot deny his taste there.

Looking for a good vid of the 1812 overture I stumbled into something "interesting" so I will go with it.

A *military* band (which looks funny) but notice the time of the vid 11:11 ... just have to go with it!!!

After much deliberation .. ;) .. I think the Mason Williams should be considered classical. The guitar? A classical (look at the width of the neck), the style? Technically speaking -- classical. Is it baroque? No. But I think it would still classify correctly due to the inspecific nature the definition of "classical" in this context. ;););)

[Calz]

When listening to the radio I only listen to a local public broadcast classical channel.

But I *really really really* have fun bringing back memories when jumping into the classic rock or even headbangin threads.

I will share music with my two kids (10 and 14) and they both like "my generation" of music more than "theirs". :thumb:

While I can readily testify to burning about as many brain cells as humanly possible during my headbangin' days ... here is a good reason to mellow with age.

:dirol:

Effect of Classical Music on the Brain

Classical music affects the brain’s organization and abilities, through its melody and rhythm. The rhythm raises the level of serotonin produced in your brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, involved in the transmission of nerve impulses that helps maintaining joyous feelings. When the brain produces serotonin, tension is eased. In fact depression is a consequence of the scarce production of this hormone. Serotonin is released when the brain is “positively shocked”. For instance: if we look at a splendid painting, smell a delicious scent, feel an extraordinary sensation, eat something delicious or listen to some charming music, then the brain lets off a certain amount of serotonin which arouses and maximizes pleasant feelings. Music’s rhythm can also stimulate other natural cadencies of the body, resembling the heartbeat, or the Alfa-rhythm of the brain, and this effect is used to counter the development of clinical depression. The melody instead, is the “sparkle” that catalyses the creative process in our minds.

The peculiarity of music is that while poetry and the literature must rely on the rational transport to inspire an emotion, since they are mediated from words, music omits this stage and points directly to stage of communicating emotions. Music does not pass through rationality to express its essence, it crosses right to our emotions.

Through generating a sequence of different emotions, listening to certain music can give a different base to your thoughts, words, and actions. It will intensify enjoyment and alleviation, encourage the crestfallen spirits, and assuage the turbulent ones. Depending from the listener and the music, this effect will last for how long you want it to last.

The known effects of music on the brain are varied: music affects from humans’ and animals’ brains to plants’ development. In humans, music enhances spatial IQ, by increasing the short and long - term memory. In fact, musical trained musicians perform better on word memory tests than other adults. Children benefit from classical music’s virtues even more than adults; they experience advantages in cognitive skills. Animals and plants as well have proven a certain predisposition towards classical music. Just listening to this musical style enhances the brain’s ability; playing it, results even in a major brain development.


Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1777 The commonly known “Mozart effect” is a phenomena that suggests the improvement on the performance of spatio-temporal reasoning and short- term memory through the listening of complex music, such as Mozart’s two-piano concertos. Music, especially the one from the “baroque” period with 60 beats per minute beat pattern, affects the amplitude and frequency of brain waves, measurable through and electro – encephalogram. Music also affects breathing rate and electrical resistance of the skin, as result of the influence on the Hormone system. This brings the pupils to dilate, and an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. This allows the brain to concentrate more easily, and to assimilate more information in less time. This happens because music stimulates the left and right hemispheres of the brain at same moment. The contemporaneous activation of the two lobes boosts learning and information intake, therefore augmenting cognitive skills. It has been proven that learning may be increased to at least fivefold, through the using of this musical style. It is for this reason that story tellers in the middle ages sang out their tails; in order to remember the narrations consisting of more than a thousand of lines. Greek dramatists based their selves on the same principle to memorize long soliloquies.



Melody and rhythm are the two essential components of music that work in very different ways: melody is the essence that boosts creative reasoning, while rhythm synchronizes these emotions with the vital patterns. Human beings have since long been tied to particular musical cadences. The rhythms in the heart-beat, walking, jumping, speaking, chewing, and breathing all represent essential regular patterns in our quotidian life. It is this particular musical rhythm that increases the level of serotonin produced in the brain, therefore enhancing critical thinking. What makes this music so valuable is the rigorous mathematical order it complies.



We can describe the effect of classical music on the brain being composed of two effects that act in synergy. The first is due to rhythm, that synchronizes with the body’s vital rhythms, already mentioned, and produces the proper mood for increased cognitive and creative capabilities. The second effect that acts in synergy with the first is melody, that gets along with thoughts resolutions and gives to the person the warm feeling that he or she is able to tackle new challenges, by setting a path in the invention of new solutions and providing the ability to make the correct choice among possible solutions. Melody and rhythm, together, act in synergy with the brain; it “opens” the auditory and sensorial channels that conduct to the brain, thus benefiting your cerebral skills.


Serotonin molecule The rigorous order of the music from the baroque and classical periods causes the brain to experience more serotonin release, letting the body and mind perform better when listening to these logical compositions. This order includes specific patterns in rhythm and pitch, character contrast, repetitions, and alterations of the theme. Modern music doesn’t provide the right balance of rhythm and melody, thus not sorting the correct effect on a person’s brain.



It is the beat that establishes the crucial effect of music on our body, together with the enhancement of cognitive and creative functions of the brain, supported from the right melody. For instance, when an autistic boy is asked to tie his shoes, this task results very difficult and perhaps impossible. But when he is asked to do it with classical music in the background, he is successful in achieving his task. According to the Mozart Effect, children who take music lessons will experience advantages in cognitive skills.



Music affects different people in diverse manners: while Handel’s Water Music will totally displace a particularly cognizant musician’s thoughts, it might only be pleasant to someone else who isn’t a musician nor music enthusiast. An observing person is more keen to discern all the sensations that the composer (and orchestra/musician) transmits through his music, than an idle listener. The level of musicianship of the listener is crucial; so the same piece could appear absolutely different to two listeners, and this is how two opinions of a piece contradict their selves.



Effects of music have been proven on animals and plants as well. The right balance of rhythm and melody help hens lay more eggs, cats to relax, and cows to produce more milk. An experiment on laboratory rats revealed that mammals have a natural predisposition towards music. The experiment consisted in placing two boxes, connected by a tube, playing Bach’s Air on the G string in one box, and rock music in the other. Most rats chose to go in the box with Bach’s music, even when the music switched from a box to another. Later, the rats were placed in a maze, and the ones which chose Bach’s music, found the exit before, and more easily than the ones which were exposed to rock music. When scientists then observed the rats’ brains, they could see that the ones being frequently exposed to classical music, had a physically more developed brain than the ones who were not being exposed to the particular music. Experiments on plants proved that plants growing with the 60 beats per minute pattern, grew faster and more efficiently than the ones growing with rock music in the background; the ones being exposed to rock music withered and died. Plants are living but not thinking organisms, therefore what matters for their development is not the melody, but the rhythm of the music.


Albert Einstein playing the violin The powerful effects of music are fundamental in life, and its beneficiaries always appear to perform better in life. Most of the greatest minds in history were musicians, or compelled music’s power. Einstein, one of the most brilliant minds in history was a violinist, and admitted that one of the reasons why he was so smart was because he played the violin. He found solutions to complex equations and problems by improvising on the violin. When Thomas Jefferson couldn’t find the correct wording for a passage in the Declaration of Independence, he played his violin, and found the correct wording. Music helped him to project the words from mind to paper. Conan Doyle made his superlative character Sherlock Holmes play the violin when he was to solve a particularly complex case. Great men of history, from Shakespeare to Napoleon were in some way dedicated to music, and this is what made the difference; music.

[Lord Sidious]

Classical and metal are more alike than most would figure.
The are both musically very intense.
They are both less popular than they should be.
They both have an audience of devoted fans.
They both require immense skill and talent to excel in the art.

Ok folks........If WhiteFeather can get away with "Classical Gas", based on the classical shape of the guitar, and If Ulli can bend the rules as well, and if we are truly very respectful of eclectic quantum tastes as you say Calz, then allow me to present Epica, and hopefully not be found in contempt of this court.

It may be Gothic Rock, but there is a string section!! (violin and cello that is, not just electric guitar)

Take a listen; I think it's brilliant.

This piece I first heard when I saw Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon.
It is my absolute favorite...top of the list.
Can't hear it often enough.

[Cidersomerset]

Thanks Ulli I almost put up the Barry Lyndon version which is 4 mins long and more atmopheric , but i plumped for the more soothing version....

Carmen Burana is like most of the music on this thread I have heard it in different contexts, advertising,films and in our local carnival setting so its been

interesting to find out how classic they are and put them with their original composers.....

Cheers Steve..

[Cidersomerset]

For example I did not know Verdi wrote the march from Aida until last night..( what a pheasant...LOL and I'm half Italian )

Paul has some documentation ... but I can give you the short version.

Click "Go Advanced" button (on bottom).

When you cut/paste a youtube address you notice there is always a " v= ".

What you need to do is use everything to the right of the "v=", highlight the text and then click on the "You Tube" Icon (2nd from right on top).

That'll do it. PM me or Paul if you still have questions.

[Kristo]

I debated whether to post this song here, as it does have jazzy undertones (in fact I originally posted on the JAZZ thread, but wondered if people would think it was too classical LOL) It is an exquisite piece by Henry Mancini titled "Lujon". It is my all-time favorite (for now)... so in love :)

Here's some contemporary classical by Anne Dudley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Dudley):
[working as a janitor at night in a record store once, coincidentally it was easter holiday, i put this on as my working soundtrack, not knowing what was 'in store' for me... the whole record gave me chills and propelled me 'higher' - imagine me brooming and mopping with tears of joy for the length of the record. Hope you 'dig' this.]

Yxd2M6jqCIs
I actually had to stop work and sit down and just listen for this one. Crank it (hopefully you have a good stereo system); it's big.

ymvWeEvGrtI
it's the horns that always get me

Whoever liked these & also is into darker, heavier classical stuff, should lend an ear or two to this score (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFQJFe4NUgE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL) (also her work; + awesome movie, btw)

and here's one of my own attempts at classical music:

Message: If we are aware of our own mortality, then we can start living !

The English translation looks kind of bold, but remains beautiful:

Oh how wrong you are
to think that the years
will never end.
We must die.

Life is a dream,
that seams so sweet,
but joy is all too brief.
We must die.
Of no avail is medicine,
of no use is quinine,
we cannot be cured.
We must die.

Worthless are lamentations,
threats, bravado
produced by our courage.
We must die.
No learned doctrine
can find the words
to calm this boldness
We must die.

There is no means
to untie this knot,
it is useless to flee.
We must die.
It is the same for everyone,
a wily man cannot
shield himself from the blow,
We must die.

Cruel Death
is unfaithful to all,
and shames everyone.
Die we must.
And yet, o madness
o ravings,
it seems like lying to oneself.
Die we must.

We die singing,
we die playing
the cittern, the bagpipe, yet
die we must.
We die dancing,
drinking, eating;
with this carrion,
die we must.

Youths, children,
and all men
must end in dust.
We must die.
The healthy, the sick,
the brave, the defenceless,
must all make an end,
We must die.
And when you are least
thinking of it, in your breast,
all comes to an end,
We must die.
If you do not think of this,
you have lost your senses,
you are dead and you can say:
We must die.

The Impossible Dream - Peter O'Toole

MUmYX-hUyN8

DON QUIXOTE
It is the mission of each true knight...
His duty... nay, his privilege!
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go;
To right the unrightable wrong.

To love, pure and chaste, from afar,
To try, when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!

This is my Quest to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause!

And I know, if I'll only be true
To this glorious Quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable stars!

Classical music has always been for me the venue where talented, sensitive musicians express the SOUL
the combination of sensitivity and passion in Richters playing is astounding. Most often it is not the piece/song

[Ivanhoe]

After the last few days,... I just needed this.....
YGRO05WcNDk

[redheaded stepchild]

Ivanhoe.. It's just what I needed too.. aaaahhhhhhhh...
It is one of the first songs that I taught myself to play on the piano.

This one is my very favorite. I simple adore Claude Debussy.. Harp and oboe..heavenly. Ever since I was a little girl, I've thought that this is what leaving my body will feel like. It's the song I want to hear when it's time for me to go. Not morbid.. just peaceful and beautiful.

Ml_l1Wna6WU

[Ivanhoe]

Hi Red (may I call you that?), the Debussy was beautiful.
For me, one of the first classical pieces I tried to play on the piano was this piece by Debussy.
I still can't read music very fast. LOL :o
Haven't really played since i was 18.
SKd0VII-l3A

[redheaded stepchild]

Hi, Ivanhoe.. sure call me Red. It's a lot easier to type than the whole thing. Clair De Lune was the piece that my piano teacher busted me on. I was 6 years old sitting at the piano with the sheet music opened up to that song. I was playing it quite well. The teacher was walking around the room listening to me then he stood behind me and reached over to the song book and turned it right side up. It took him almost a year to figure out that I couldn't read music and that I had been fooling him.. needless to say, my lessons were over! I still can't read a lick of music.. too much like math. I'm very right brained.

Sicilienne Op78 by Gabriel Faure.. melts the heart

KweXColOsgQ

[Ivanhoe]

Hahaha.
Red, I was much the same, I taught myself to play. I was always too shy and insecure to play in front of anyone, and you know what they say (the notorious "they"), use it or lose it.
Well,... I lost "it". But I love classical music.

Welcome, sound consciousness. With a user name like yours, I am looking forward to your contributions.
Anyway, to me in this thread there are almost an infinite (to my small mind) amount of possibilities I could offer as a contribution so I will go with what pieces I have been listening to a lot most recently.

Chopin Nocturnes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdimyyD-ZQk
Bach Partita No 3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VOkrddp6M8
And the cello suites, again from Bach (too bad about all the commercials in this one but they are beautifuly played never the less.):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHzfD6XLK7Q

I am always loosing and finding myself in these pieces of music.

Amen to that, brother. I already know how yo feel about this composition, but I will post it here. This composition is my favorite classical piece of all time. If you desire to know how to break down my barriers, melt my soul, and get me into a teary-eyed trance, this is it. That is some powerful information to give away....oh well!! ;)

Classical music is the music of nature. It is in accordance with the natural rhythms of nature, and flows to the essence of Beauty and Harmony. It's antithesis, heavy metal, is a much lower vibration, chaotic, and in disharmony with nature. I'd argue that what kind of music somebody listens to directly correlates to their vibrational level.

For those who are not aware of Dan Gibson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Gibson), I'd highly suggest you look into his music! Basically, he records sounds of nature and composes instrumental music to the sounds. Many of his albums includes compiling classical pieces with the backdrop of nature sounds. Quite lovely!

Here is a small sample:

I totally agree someonethebrave, low level frequency of sound creates chaos. Classical music based on 432Hz refreshes the soul

[Becky]

Wonderful thread! I love classical music and was practically raised on it by my dad. I have many favourites, but this is my all-time fave.

One if my favourite pieces is the second movement of Grieg's piano concerto in A minor.... Just love the way the melody flows in top of the harmonies underneath. I have been listening to it for years. Can't find my favourite recording on YouTube but here is a nice one:

I think Mother Nature is trying to tell us something about classical music being in harmony with her, indicative of this butterfly landing on this performer's face:

The song she is performing is Sancan's Sonatine by Pierre Sancan.
