Mahler: Symphony No.8

;D
Which part?

For me today:

Mahler 7 - m1 (last 5 minutes or so)
Mahler 9 - m3 (ending)
Mahler 9 - m4 (such an amazing, powerful, beautiful piece of music, my favourite Mahler movement probably! however, not a good piece to have stuck in your mind... very depressing...)
Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier Suite (mainly the opening)
Taneyev - Oresteya Overture (the absolutely beautiful, poetic second section :) )

Will be sure to report back later!

Under the influence of another thread: Rush, Xanadu,

Both the beginning and the finale, such beautiful, passionate and thrilling parts :)

Again, another thread has spawned a worm: Matthew Sweet, Sick of Myself.

The opener from Haydn's Lark.

Good thing it's so lovely, 'cause the bird is back and I can't get it out of my head!

If you mean, 'As with rosy steps the morn' from Handel's 'Theodora', then I am with you.

That's fabulous. Lorraine H-L was fabulous. Mmm.

"As steals the morn upon the night" is a duet from L'Allegro, Il Penseroso ed il Moderato.

Yes, that is delectable and it is one of those tunes you can hum, whistle or just close your eyes and hear it. I have a lovely set of it. It is full of beautiful pastoral music.

At present, haunted by Stanley Bate's Piano Concerto No. 2 (1940).  :) Bate being the most important "discovery" in years.
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Handel, As steals the morn

I would happily call this one of my favourite pieces from the baroque era! Absolutely beautiful! :)

Handel, Vieni o figlio

which keeps shading into Ombra ma fu.

One worm for each ear!
