lostingothicmusic Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I know it's classical music and therefore some people will ignore this completely, but it's actually a FANTASTIC piece. It's The Pines of Rome by Resphigi, written in 1924. 4 small tone poems in one:Pines of the Villa Borghese - Fast, busy motifs, quite manic, generally upbeat. Portrays children playing at being soldiers in the pine groves of the Villa BorgiaPines near the Catacombs - somber and slow, but picks up tempo and ends with a triumphant Trumpet solo, played off stage. Pines near the Janiculum - gorgeous, wallowy, warm sounding movement, includes a recording of a nightingale! First piece to include pre-recorded sounds apparently.Pine of the Appian Way - (my favourite) starts off slow and melancholy, but builds up to an overwhelmingly happy and grand finish that always lifts my mood. The piece is supposed to portray Roman soliders returning to Rome along the Appian Way after a winning a battle and the reception they receive. I played it with a youth orchestra in 1999 and have been yearning to play it again ever since! I often wait until I'm alone in the house, put it on, crank up the speakers and sit in the middle of the room, completely surrounded by the music so it's almost like I'm back in the centre of the orchestra again. Ah I love it so much i'm off to do it again - who cares about the neighbours... Edited November 26, 2011 by lostingothicmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richat Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Richat by Mark Petrie [hence the username] It's the one song [as short as it may be] that gives me any hope for anything. It also helped me decide what I want to do with my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonSnow Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Aerial Boundaries- Michael HedgesMichael Hedges, by the way, was a fantastic acoustic guitar player (plus he invented the Harp-guitar) who died in 1997, way before his time. I've listened to other guitarists and none sound like Mr. Hedges, he was truly an original.

RatBoy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'll second Wicked Game.And add Verve's Bittersweet Symphony. And if I interpret "moves you the most" as being high or low or whatever:Eric Clapton - The CoreAlice Cooper - Hello HoorayINXS - Disappearand Ravel's Bolero. Sounds smarmy, too, but find the YouTube of Torvill and Dean's 1984 Olympics ice dance routine set to Bolero. Chillingly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
