hands down

That reminds me... musician friends of mine like to call it the "Taco Bell Canon", because the original name is often mispronounced in a way which sounds much like that.

Try playing in the orchestra for the entire Beethoven 9... that really gives chills.

It seems no one can spell Pachelbel, nor Canon, properly, so for the record...

Bach ~ Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring

It has such a beautiful melody. Every time i listen to it i feel...joyous. I would love to have this when/if i get married!

one of the best classical songs ever , and famous too, i'm sure lot of you have heard it just didn't know the name of it.

Beethoven - Fuer Elise is a great song.

Oooh, this would be either Bach's Double Violin Concerto Vivace, or Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba (it has such an addicting riff, er lik, err... melody)

Heh, I'm playing both of those now (the Bach as a tuba duet and the Handel with a brass choir). Anyway, if I had to pick a single favorite, it'd probably be Tchaikowsky's 5th Symphony. Or would it be Mahler 1? Pictures at an Exhibition? The countless others I listen to over and over? I can't decide!

Ride of the Valkryie (or something like that)

 

[Michael1897]

Handel - Water Music
Carmin Burana - O Fortuna
Fur Elise

 

[datalink7]

Rachmoninoff - Vocalise

Yep, mine too.

I also had a question about classical but didn't want to start a new thread: Can we legally download classical from the net? If so, where?

Gustav Holtz - Mars

You think the Imperial March from Star Wars is badass? Check out Mars!

Even though a large amount of classical music lies in the public domain, the recordings are property of the record companies. That means no, you can't.

That's what I thought. Thanks.

Pachelbel Canon

Ahem, I spelled it correctly (well, "Canon", didn't use the composer name). <homer>Mmmmm, Taco Bell Canon.</homer>

Most of the music mentioned herein can be found here for free MP3 download.

I recently fell in love with tchaikovsky and brahm's violin concertos! I also like Schubert's arpeggione sonata.
