I love Arrival of the Queen Sheba (that has the wonderful oboe part, right?)
Percy Grainger-- I've played a good bit of music by him, such as Lincolnshire Posy, an arrangement of English folk songs. I've also heard some of his choral arrangements.

Once Upon A Time,
Mr. Grainger was going to attend a concert in south africa. Just before the concert he thought it wouldnt hurt to takle a quick run through a small jungle. a lookout at the concert hall was waiting for him, and finally he saw a big cloud of dust. It seemed the mr grainger made friends with some bushman and wanted to take them to the concert!

Merc, Grainger sound interesting since I'm quite into English folk songs. Hb, I think I'll definitely listen to and buy a cd with his music then. |

Thats great G-Wolf .
"The Warriors" is a considerably short piece, and it was paired on the same cd (not sure if I told you this already) as Holst's Planets. The recording is one by conductor John Eliot Gardiner. Not sure if you're really specific about recordings or anything, but thats the version I have and its great. The "Mars" movement is particularly stirring and loud.

G-Wolf, I must say that I am sad to inform you that I am not familiar with any Purcell, except a little piece called "Tune and Air" which I love to listen to.
LCoU, that sounds like a great recording, I'll have to look it up.

Lol, all this talk about 'The Planets' made me go and put it on
Chrys, I was wondering if you would like to help with an "anecdote" project for this thread, where we look up interesting classical music anecdotes and I'll stick 'em all on the first post. G-Wolf, you're welcome to help as well.

Maybe someone can help me with names....
There was a famous guy (lets call him A). A was going to direct another famous guy's (B) orchestra piece. A got to the stand, and on it was not B's work, but C's. The two (B's and C's) looked exactly the same from the outside. A directed the entire piece with no mistakes from memory . Impressive, huh?

Wow that's so cool Hector! It's awesome when symphonies take your suggestions! I hope you get to go see their concert if they preform the works you suggested.

I've played French classical music (obviously, I'm studying it in France!).
Its quite interesting...you add so much to what is written expressive wise. There is a lot of personal touches to it. I especially enjoy Debussy's Childrens Corner Suite. They are so fun to play! Esp. Golliwog's Cakewalk.

I actually went to two cd-stores and in the first one they checked their computorfiles and said that the company that distributes Percy Grainger has gone bankrupt and that most of his work can't be found anymore. |
