For me today:

Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake
Liszt Mazeppa, symphonic poem
Mahler Symphony No.6 - in particular 1st and 4th movements

Now:

Wagner Siegfried, finale; this part is absolutely one of the most beautiful ending ever composed.......extremely passionate and powerful, so intense and harmonic.....the peak of vital love! :)

I almost always have music playing in my head - does this make me pyschologically disturbed ??? What is intriguing is occasionally a piece of music I haven't listened to for a very long time pops up out of nowhere.

As long as it doesn't instruct you in the folkways of a race of emasculated Saturnians... you're fine.  :)

Well, you're not the only one! I have music playing in my mind pretty much every second of my life. While I'm typing this now, it's the second prelude from the first book of Bach's WTC. Sometimes it changes regularly for me, but sometimes, I have the same part of a piece repeating itself in my head for hours.... :)

Of course, the Alma Theme, what a beautiful, powerful melody! It strikes me so much that while I'm listening to it, I often stand up and start moving my arms as if I was conducting an orchestra.......
Do you, really? How nice! Well, I do something similar as well: I carry around Wagner's picture in my wallet ;D
I start conducting while listening to the Alma theme as well, and also singing loudly along to it! I love it so much!
How wonderful - I should carry around a portrait of Mahler as well! :D

Respighi Roman Trilogy

This afternoon I saw a documentary about Pappano explaining Respighi's music...this made me have Fountains of Rome, Pines of Rome and Roman Festivals on my mind all the day (without forgetting Wagner anyway) :)

which was one of the pieces our school orchestra played in our Christmas concert yesterday, wonderful! :)

The obligato violin in Vivaldi's Salve Regina RV617 sounds like something from Handel's 9 German Arias, and I can't get it out of my head!

Mendelssohn Elijah - learning to sing it in March; particularly Wohl dem, der den Herrn furchtet.
Wish I could get it out of my head - spoils the enjoyment of most other things currently !

That's wonderful - have a great time!
I love taking part in the local music groups. I often play percussion in local orchestras and also recently had one of my works commissioned and premiered by the local orchestra which was so great, and also in the same programme as my work, I played the organ in 'The Planets' :D Sorry if I went off topic a little there.... ;)
