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.

Super Concert in Australia

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Andre tailors his music to his crowd, and it is never so apparent as this first piece as is his ability to work a crowd into a memorable experience.

This piece is titled “Super Concert in Australia.” I’m guessing that LLPOH is in that crowd somewhere

Sportspalast Walzer

Next, Andre and his crew will play “Sportspalast Walzer, again live in Maastricht.

The lady whistling is Manoe Konings. A self-appointed “clown, she is truly a character. She plays clarinet, saxophone, bagpipes, guitar and mandolin. She is beloved in her home country. In 2001 she became very ill, was diagnosed with cancer, but fought it and beat it to come back to her chair in the Johann Strauss Orchestra.

Lara’s Theme

We’ll follow that with another live piece from a Masstricht concert titled “Lara’s Theme” from Dr. Zhivago.

Time To Say Goodbye

Next, Andre, his JSO and his top Soprano, Mirusia will play “Time To Say Goodbye.”

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I’ll close this out with the lovely Mirusia singing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.”

The crowd eats this one up.

Once again, thank you for listening to SMC, and have a great day.
