SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
nkit, Austrian Peter, and Steve C.

Every Sunday morning we present selections for our TBP family to enjoy.

We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.

Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may stray a little, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.

We offer tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light-hearted and fun aimed at a younger audience. Those pieces will be so designated, and might be a good way to introduce kids to a world of music that they might not have been exposed to or think of as old and ‘stuffy’.

A full symphony will run as long as it will. We don’t want to cut a symphony short. However, we also include some shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes in length. You can sample each and hopefully find one or more that pleases you.

We hope that you enjoy our Sunday selections.

This first mob is at the Villa Olimpia in Sao Paulo.

This next flash mob comes to us from Central Station in Antwerp, Belgium.

Dance Me To The End Of Love

Leonard is the coolest person on the planet……

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic til Im gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Thanks, guys, with kudos to the Bootheel Gal for her submission. This is a stalwart of my Sunday mornings as I sip a cup of coffee and read the articles on TBP.

Keep up the good work. We really do appreciate it.

I’ve been appreciative of Alison for many years, saw her in concert in Bend, Or about 11 or 12 years ago. Musically very versatile and a joy to hear.

Steve, I am a big fan of Muse and found this piece while viewing their song. A bunch of kids putting a classic twist to a rock song. It never ceases to amaze me the talent that can be found in our youth.
