Not that I don't remember the name, it's that it was in French, and spoken quickly by a classical music expert on a rather crackly radio.

maybe this will refresh your memory *whacks TB over the head with a tuba*

On my ipod right now I'm listening to one of Bach's Sonatas for Flute and Basso continuo

...good stuff. I'm really starting to appreciate Bach's largos and adagios.

hectorberlioz · 11-27-2006, 07:28 PM

Recent Listening:

Shostakovich Sym.No.7
More and more this is the one that competes with his 4th Symphony as my fav.

Dvorak Syms. 1-6

"The Wasps" overture...
...
WTF!?

And in a less classical note, I downloaded a really funny jazz song called "Freddie Freeloader".

That is NOT classical

, you get a ticket for mentioning a non-classical work in this thread.

trolls' bane · 11-29-2006, 12:43 AM

I know. It bugs me too. But we don't have a jazz thread, and this is the closest I could get.

I don't mind at all. I like [some] jazz myself

(btw I think we do have a Jazz thread somewhere...)

trolls' bane · 11-30-2006, 12:53 AM

Actually, come to think of it, I think we did. But Bmilder knows where.

hectorberlioz · 11-30-2006, 12:32 PM

Poor Benny Goodman...he gets teased a lot for his transition from jazz clarinet to classical, and his recording of Copland's Clarinet Concerto gets made fun of a lot.

trolls' bane · 11-30-2006, 11:50 PM

Really? Err, never heard of that. Cool.

(Smart move, man, smart move.

)

trolls' bane · 12-04-2006, 01:43 AM

I'm recording the Grand Canyon, the Mississippi, and Death Valley suites for the Living Desert's use in the Discovery Room. I hope Grofe's been dead a while...

hectorberlioz · 12-04-2006, 04:42 PM

Yeah, dead long enough anyways

....

Btw, is this Living Desert/Discovery Room aome kind of gymnastic-ish place? In that case, have fun watching the reactions of people when they hear the Grand Canyon Suite

Priceless

trolls' bane · 12-04-2006, 08:32 PM

LOL! I would love to see that.

However, it's not even close. It's the wildlife and botanical park I work at, and the Discovery Room is like a museum where you can touch everything therein.

Including poisonous frogs?

...I should write some music for that. The Poisonous Frogs Suite

hectorberlioz · 12-11-2006, 05:23 PM

Listening to Ravi Shankar's Sitar Concerto No.2

trolls' bane · 12-11-2006, 08:58 PM

LOL!
If I ever learn to write music, I'm going to continue Grofe's work as a bit of fun.

Yosemite Suite, Four Corners Suite, Monument Valley Suite, Niagra Falls Suite, etc.

There's already a Niagra Falls suite though...heck! There's a Hollywood Suite!

I'll write Tennessee Parks Suite. Boring, I know

What about Mt. Rushmore Suite? Four Presidents, thats perfect.

trolls' bane · 12-12-2006, 12:03 AM

Yeah! LOL!

Alright, who's the schmuck that beat me to the Niagra Falls Suite!?

Ferde Grofe of course

....as far as I know, he wrote six different suites. Maybe more.

trolls' bane · 12-12-2006, 11:16 PM

Really? Hmm.
Wonder why they're not in my virtual box set...

Anyway, you'll never guess what I accidentally downloaded yesterday: the Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra. (AND orchestra!) It was apparently hidden under the title "Rhapsody No. 2" when I did my initial search.
I also got the Cuban Overture and I.G.R. variations.
