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.

The Next Two Come To Us Thanks To Former Mafioso SMC.

this is why we fly….

On this day, a visual YT vid, with a recommendation to view on a PC vs. a smartphone, and take it to full screen.

For the audio submission, it’s a hymn by some kiddos with angelic voices. It is Sunday, after all.

IF you want to get creative, start the Angelis tune for audio, then watch the Flying video with the audio muted, for an alternate of listening to it’s own soundtrack.

Seize the day today, and try to find some good. If you can’t find some, then create some.

For others, and the benefit will come back to you, certainly.

Peace be with You, and God Bless.

Returning to a favorite 20th Century composer – Arvo Pärt …

Pärt: Littlemore Tractus

From an NPR review of this piece of music: A disciplined plea for peace – and quiet – from composer Arvo Pärt …

The album opener, Littlemore Tractus, with text from a 19th century theologian, is a prayer for support and peace at the end of a frenzied day — or perhaps at the end of life itself. Its gentle, timeless vibe sets the tone for an entire album of comforting music. Religious or not, you can feel the effects. In the 7th of the Greater Antiphons, slowly pulsing strings envelope you like a warm blanket.

TCHAIKOVSKY – Hymn of the Cherubim

Performed by the USSR Ministry of Culture Chamber Choir.

w/ interiors of ‘St. Basil’s Cathedral’ in Moscow and ‘The Church of the Savior’ in St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Contemplating the problem of not personally holding any religious beliefs while at the same time recognizing the historic importance of music and architecture and art which is labeled ‘religious,’ I finally arrived at the conclusion that labeling magnificent examples of art as ‘religious’ is always a misnomer, because even though the experience of great art throughout western history almost always is connected to religious life in a very practical, direct sense, the religious experience and the experience of great art is never the same experience. Religion is never art.” – Mikael Askergren

Dmitri Shostakovich – The Second Waltz

To se nevrati – use to say the Czechs being in a nostalgia mood and thinking on something what passed definitely. It will never be the same…

Making the clip I used scenes from movies The Leopard (Il Gattopardo) by Luchino Visconti from 1963. Anna Karenina by Maurizio Millenotti from 1997, Anna Karenina by Joe Wright from 2013, Fanfan & Alexandre by Alexandre Jardin from 1993, War and Peace, TV series from 2007, and – what has to be mentioned especially – The Waltz of Dagmara and Artur (their 1. wedding dance) form 2011.
