Tailgate 0 #26 September 30, 2004 I have a feeling that you would dig Carmina Burana.

Snowwhite 0 #27 October 1, 2004 I was a Classical Guitar Major. Yea, I know WHAT WAS I THINKING??!! But RUN to the nearest place that you can buy a CD of Christopher Parkening Plays Bach. You will wear it out! There is also a neat old album from Andre Segovia where he says "there are nearly ONE HUNDRED songs that have now been transcribed for guitar" What a HOOT, it's a relatively new medium for old compositions. Also If you enjoy listening to the classics, buy yourself a copy of the Norton Scores. They contain the sheet music to 50 or 60 pieces from the Baroque, Classic, Impressionistic and Modern eras, Piano concertos, Full Orchestral arrnangements of Symphonies, Quartets, Operas and the like. You will have a great time learning to follow through the scores while listening to some tremendous music. The Scores are available at most college bookstores, and have the main melody highlighted to make it easier for the beginning musician.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybill 22 #29 October 1, 2004 Hi Bert, Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyrie" without a doubt!!!, right out of Apocalypse Now. The Hueys making the attack run on the Cong beach head, add the sound of the choppers!!!! Oh yes, and,"Charlie don't Surf!!!" (He doesn't Skydive either!!) It's always fun during a dirt dive when someone starts humming "The Valkyrie" and everone else chimes in!!SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mailin 0 #31 October 1, 2004 QuoteCD of Christopher Parkening Plays Bach. You will wear it out! You are not kidding. I've got ALL of his CDs! I went through a period where I was buying a CD a month going through the orchestra (technically you'll be hard pressed to find guitar in an orchestra, but I looked anyway), and picked up his greatest hits. To date, I have 17 ( or so) guitar CDs, and only 7 CD for clarinet (my major). Kinda sad huh? Could be why I'm back in school for computer programming...

Tailgate 0 #32 October 1, 2004 I still have Norton ( Vol1 and 2 I think) from when I was a music major. BTW classical guitar is very cool. I even whip out my History of Ancient Music text ( written bu Grout I think) occassionally when I can't get to sleep. Interesting topic with a very dry presentation _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pendragon 1 #33 October 1, 2004 I'm on for anything deeply emotional. What seems to be unfortunately is that many people I know do like certain pieces of music, but can never remember what they are! Here are some of my favorities: wonder what others think? Saint-Saens: 3rd Symphony ("The Organ") Saint-Saens: Introduction et Rondo Capricioso (stunning violin piece) Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto #2 (I think it was his 2nd ) Rachmaninov: Prelude in C# minor (very dramatic piano piece) Rachmaninov: Variations on a theme by Paganini Vaughan-Williams: Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis (reminds me on hang gliding... ) Ravel: Piano Concerto in the left hand (and other piano concertos by Ravel - all good) Dvorak: 9th Symphony ("From the New World" - but I *hate* the 2nd movement because it's so overplayed...) Elgar: Cello Concerto Elgar: Enigma variations Issac Albeniz: Asturias (played by John Williams) Other bits: Dukas: Sorcerer's Apprentice Greig: In the hall of the Mountain King (from Peer Gynt Suite #2) Guitar music by Rodrigo Beethoven's 3rd, 5th and 9th Symphonies (obviously) ...and loads more that I can't think of at the moment. Enjoy listening! -- BASE #1182 Muff #3573 PFI #52; UK WSI #13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyinNover 0 #35 October 4, 2004 Quote Anyone else enjoy listening to classical music, and if so, what? Check these out: Bach: Brandenburg Concertos Beethoven: String Quartet 13 Moussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition Mozart: Violin Concerto No.3 in G Major Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Pachelbel: Canon (bet you know it already) Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody On A Theme by Paganini (the whole thing, but especially the bit starting at around 14:45.) ----Nover Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raefordite 0 #36 October 4, 2004 Ok - let's expand the original question. What classical music would you like to hear used on a skydiving DVD/video? And what discipline of skydiving? RW, freefly, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailin 0 #37 October 5, 2004 Interesting.... But for skydiving videos I tend to lean more toward cross-over classical groups such as Bond. Ever heard of them? They're incredible!!! JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyinNover 0 #38 October 8, 2004 QuoteOk - let's expand the original question. What classical music would you like to hear used on a skydiving DVD/video? And what discipline of skydiving? RW, freefly, etc. Not really classical, but here are some ideas: Cirque du Soleil - Alegria....The song Kalandero (the first half, at least.) Freefly? Deep Forest - Cafe Europa....(It's techno-y, but more musical) Any discipline, at least the ones in freefall. I'm picturing freestyle and big ways, and they both seem good. Swooping and crew don't. Depeche Mode - In Your Room (Portishead remix)....Start with the plane ride, stop the video on an exit right when the music stops for a beat (27 seconds.) 2 or 4 way, turning quick points maybe? There's room for a lot, I think. Enya - Secret World....Anything with big beautiful views, and sunsets. And boobs. George Gershwin - Rialto Ripples Rag....no skydiving, just video of random drunken escapades at the DZ. And speed the film up, Benny Hill style. Grace Slick - White Rabbit (Live, 1965) Night jumps. Night BASE jumps. ---Nover Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bertusgeert 1 #39 October 8, 2004 I saw a video with an awesome "soundtrack" on headdown.net called Friflaj 2002. it is awesome, especially when one dude is rocketing down to the hd formation. Kickass. I then listened to the LOTR fellowship of the ring soundtrack, track 10. It think it has something to do with enya, but it sounds awesome too. A little off of the track, but good nonetheless. I'm surprised no one has mentioned paganini? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
