SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
nkit, 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.

Morricone conducts Morricone: The Mission (Gabriel’s Oboe)

Today, I’m going to mix things up a bit. I bring you an olio of musical pieces.

Some I have played before, some by the same performers, some by different musicians. Some of you may not have been following “Sunday Morning Classics on TBP.” If you heard them, most are worth another listen.

We’ll begin with a favorite of many. The Maestro, Ennio Morricone who passed away just over two years ago is widely considered as the most prolific and greatest film composers of all time. “Morricone received the Academy Honorary Award in 2007 “for his magnificent and multifaceted contributions to the art of film music.” He also received 5 Oscar nominations and he won 3 Grammy Awards, 2 Golden Globes as well as numerous other awards, which are too many to mention. A composer of music for the cinema, whose music was an element in itself.”

Morricone conducts his own composition of “Gabriels Oboe” from the film “The Mission.

John Dunbar Theme – Dances with Wolves

William Tell Overture – Rossini – The Tampa Bay Symphony

We’ll follow that with another Rossini composition, a favorite titled “William Tell Overture”, this time by the Tampa Bay Symphony.

The Tampa Bay Symphony performs Rossini’s William Tell Overture, at Ferguson Hall, Straz Center for the Performing Arts, Tampa, FL Feb. 19, 2017.

The Mission / How Great Thou Art – The Piano Guys

We’ll conclude with The Piano Guys playing a short version of “How Great Thou Art.”

As our tour of Brazil approached we set our sights on our next Wonder: Christ the Redeemer.

This incredible piece of art soars 10 stories in the air, stretches 100 feet wide and weighs 1.4 million pounds (630,000 kg). But even more impressive is that it was built in the 1920’s on a peak of a sheer 2,300 ft. (700 meters) cliff overlooking Rio de Janeiro.

Not far from this inspiring statue are the Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil — a natural Wonder of the World. Made up of 275 waterfalls that stretch across 1.7 miles (2.7 km), to match the amount of water that flows down these falls you would need 2 million people to each pour a quart of water every second.

I hope you have enjoyed this music buffet this Sunday .

Beethoven: Symphony No. 7, 1st movement

Paavo Järvi, conductor of the year 2019, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.

Ask a person on the street what his favorite Beethoven symphony is, and he’ll likely say the Fifth, or the Ninth. But ask a classical musician, and a surprising number of times you’ll hear: The Seventh.

“Here every impetuosity, every longing and ranting of the heart becomes a blissful exuberance of joy.”

Those effusive words came from the pen of composer Richard Wagner, and he was describing the Symphony No. 7 in A Major, opus 92 by Ludwig van Beethoven. Maestro Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen will get us off to a good start with the first movement, marked Poco sostenuto – Vivace (slightly sustained – vigorous). And the way they play Ludwig van Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony will have you coming back wanting more.

Deutsche Welle and Unitel Classica present Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi, conductor of the year 2019, and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, recorded at the Beethovenfest in Bonn.

The Classic Music Mafia – Adding some class to this joint one Sunday at a time.

Heaven help us…
