Speaking of sheet music, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the whole "Moonlight Sonata" the way Beethoven wrote it?

Not sure...
I like Copeland (!!!), Tchaikowsky (!!), Grieg, some Wagner and Bach and Beethoven, and many other composers who wrote soundtrack music, like Hans Zimmer and Howard Shore. I generally dislike composers from the Baroque Period, as their music seems too predictable. I also don't like Telemann...because he wrote the piece I have to play for auditions... >_<

What are everybody's thoughts on the Transiberean Orchestra? I haven't heard much of their work, but they play at least some classical music--with a combination of orchestra and rock instruments! Anybody else heard 'em?

Never EVER forget Howard Shore! I am dying to listen to all three soundtracks.Rachael wrote:How could I forget Howard Shore?! I love his work in Lord of the Rings.
(Although I'm hysterical and in a flurry of emotion over the fact I'm seeing Narnia on Monday... the soundtracks get mixed up in my head... I have all the notes mixed up!! )

annoying little coins! but,

My thoughts are that they rock and it wouldn't be Christmas without themKris Doyle wrote:What are everybody's thoughts on the Transiberean Orchestra?

Holy God in love became
Perfect man to bare my blame
On the Cross He took my sin
By His death I live again

You really think so? I had to learn this song for the first time to play in church this Christmas, and I didn't really like playing the piece that well, though I love the sound of it. Of course, the problem was probably more that because of finals and the such, I was forced to wait to try and learn the piece until the night before... Believe me, I got sick of hearing that song after the first couple hours of practice...Jonathan wrote:An offtopic note here (pun intended), but that song is quite fun to play^_^Kris Doyle wrote:Handel, yes. Hallelujah Chorus
I have. They do indeed rock, and that DVD was an example of that.Kris Doyle wrote:Did anyone see their music DVD called The Ghosts of Christmas Eve? I just saw it the other day, and it was great!
My 2nd favorite CD by them (right after Christmas Eve and Other Stories which just can't be beat ) is Beethoven's Last Night, an album of theirs that doesn't get nearly as much attention as the Christmas work. It's packed with very dramatic renditions of classical favorites. When I saw them in concert and they performed their version of Beethoven's 5th from this album, the pyrotechnics were so intense that I had to physically cover my eyes to keep them from burning.

Handel can be both annoying and fun to play. I accompanied the choir on one of his pieces (I forget which one…I think it went “How lovely is Thy dwelling place” or something like that.) Sometimes I simply hated practicing it, with all of the movement and octaves. But it sounded pretty good when combined with the choir, and I enjoyed it once I'd gotten good at it.

Btw, all this talk about Handel (between talking about Trans-Siberian, which I egregiously misspeled earlier ) reminds me of Bach, since they lived at the same time. Didn't Bach dedicate all his music "to the glory of God alone"?
