What music do you have stuck in your head?

Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5

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' Sorry if I went off topic a little there....

Versatile fellow ! Didn't I see you were playing timpani in another post ? + composition; sorry, can't compete. Would a neo-Romantic fan like your compositions, or..... ?!

Lemon tree, very pretty
And the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon
Is impossible to eat

Thank you! I love playing timpani and all percussion, only really get the oppurtunity when I am invited to play with the local youth orchestra or every so often another festival orchestra or amateur orchestra. Well, most of my compositions until now have been completely in the romantic style - I shall share some here on GMG soon. Now, my style is far more impressionist, hopefully more original as well....
Thanks again Clive, have a wonderful Christmas!

Today:

Mahler Symphony No.2 "Resurrection" - incredibly beautiful, thrilling and touching.

Arnold Schönberg Kammersymphonie Op.9

A fine composition as is the Chamber Symphony No. 2.

[Lisztianwagner]

Today:

Neujahrskonzert 2012 - The concert was so beautiful, so powerful, so deeply emotional that I can't get out of my mind the pieces played! Jansons and the Wiener Philharmoniker were absolutely wonderful, I take my hat off to them!

No, really!

Guillaume Dufay, Quel fronte signorille in paradiso

Courtesy of Hyperion Records:

Quel fronte signorille in paradiso
        That noble brow
Scorge l'anima mia,
        shows my soul the way to Paradise,
Mentre che in sua balia
        while she holds me fast in her power,
Streto mi tiene mirando il suo bel viso.
        beholding her fair face.
I ochi trapassa tutti dei altri el viso
        Her face transfixes the eyes of all who look upon it
Con sì dolce armonia,
        with such sweet harmony,
Che i cor nostri s'en via
        that our hearts are stolen away
Pian pian in suso vanno in paradiso.
        and gently ascend to Paradise.

[Opus106]

The menuetto more so than the trio.

I listened to the Alban Berg Q. this morning.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that--after about two weeks--I've managed to get several lengthy extracts from Popov's first symphony out of my head. Given that this symphony was at least in part the model for Shostakovich's 4th, and that it's every bit as emotionally strenuous a work as its better-known younger sibling, it's been one of the more exhausting earworms I've experienced.

[Opus106]

This could be Edward, you know.

For the umpteenth time, Dufay's Salve flos Tusce gentis, in the version by Ensemble Musica Nova.

Machaut, C'est force, faire le weil

C'est force, faire le weil:
I will do what I must:
Tuit mi desir
all my desires
Sont et seront en servir
are and will be to serve
Vo bel acueil,
your gracious self,
Chiere dame, et d'acomplir
dear lady, and to comply
Vostre doulz weil.
with your sweet wishes.

[madaboutmahler]

Right now I have that vicious string-section csardas bit from the finale of Szymanowski's Fourth Symphony looping continuously.
