SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

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

And now something to get us all ready for turkey day…

Yuja Wang performs | Piano Concerto No. 2 in Cm Op. 18 by Rachmaninov – in Munich city

As Yuja Wang is one of the most well-traveled and prolific performers, extracting a specific performance for sharing is difficult. Much of the attraction of the videos comes from the making of the video.

This one done at sunset in the town square in Munich is outstanding for the lighting and the quality of the camera work.

Händel – Alexander’s Feast HWV 75 – selection

Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducts Concentus Musicus Wien

For nearly twenty years beginning in 1683, the musicians of London held special celebrations on November 22, the feast day of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. Following a church service, there would be a banquet and a performance of a new ode to St. Cecilia, which would praise the power of music. Most notable among the many musicians and poets who participated were Henry Purcell, whose own St. Cecilia odes were models for Handel, as well as John Dryden, who contributed two poems to the celebrations, which were set to music by various composers.

It was well into the next century when Handel was attracted to the two Dryden odes. During the 1730s he was making a fitful transition from Italian opera to English-language works, and in 1736 he set his first Dryden ode, Alexander’s Feast, or the Power of Music.

I will bookend St. Cecilia’s Feast first with this selection and then with its successor next Sunday.

Thanksgiving Day with lyrics

Original song with text for Thanksgiving Day. I wrote this for my church, Lexington Baptist Church in Lexington, SC in 1990 where I was the Minister of Music from 1988 to 2016 and I would sing it annually in worship. I am still at LBC, but serving now as the Sr. Adult Pastor.

I now have a choral arrangement of this song SATB with piano accomp. by Larry Shackley! Send me your email and I will send it to you free – make as many copies as you would like!
