You all just got pwned by Oblivion_Xye
Classical Music~~
Okay well I randomly got 50$ for music right? Well, I went searching for amazingness of classical music.

Let me just say this

The Concerto for Marimbas and Wind Ensemble (Parts I-IV) from the Camphouse Collection. Are BEASTS! As well as Equus which is the most beastastic spazz I have ever heard. Go get them now! If you love classical music it's great.

Also from Eric Whitacre's Cloudburst Album: Sleep, and Cloudburst. Especially the end of Cloudburst. There are no musical intruments except their hands and feet, bass drum and wind chimes. AMAZING!!! And Sleep is extremely beautiful. It's more of a Polyphonic piece with mostly the most amazing choir ever in all time.

The Jeremiah Symphony...by Lynyrd Berstein is also amazing. At the third part it's vaugely like an opera but the second part which is called Profanation is a-MAZING!

O Magnum Mysterium by Robert Shaw is also a beautiful Polyphonic piece.

Metric Lips and Big Country by Bela Fleck are reall good Blue Grass pieces that my percussion section has played. The guitars in those are beasts at life.

Short Ride in a Fast Machine by Mallory in the Contemporaries album is a interesting A-tonal piece too. I think it's one of my favorites. The wood block person in the background is my hero xD.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE! ZOMG!!!123 Y'know from Fantasia? I LOVE that piece. It's my hero musically, and quite catchy.

Pageannt Op. 59 by the Cinncinatti Band is really good, I played it in eigth grade.

Ooh! Palladio! xD From the DeBeers Diamond commerical? I love that. The saxophones in my band did that for solo and ensemble it was extremely good and the music is really fun.

October, from the Velocity Album IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE YOU WILL EVER HEAR IN YOUR LIFETIME!!! It's very passive and slow, I almost played that piece, but we didn't have enough time to learn all of it. So...yeah. But it's a great classical piece I love it.

Glenn Kotche's, Mobile, Clapping Variations is an interesting Percussion Piece. It' has a ton of foreign instruments in it and new sounds. It's worth it trust me.

Also, Music for Eighteen Musicians is a great piece. Yes, it is an hour long. BUT it's rhythms are great and the timing is...unbeliveable. It's a very subtle piece, and not THAT interesting but it's okay.

Finally the Serenada Schizophrenia by Danny Elfman. It is a great classical piece. It's very interesting because it's name is like it's music. It's extremely varied to different parts. Though Pianos, Quadruped Patrol, and Bells & Whistles are probably the better parts in my opinion. Great Music. Danny Elfman is a beast at life.

That's my view on classical music as of now. Also, anything by Strauss, Beethoven, or Mozart is amazing.
