hauntingly beautiful music

[SadieKate]

About six years ago, I devoted a year to playing nothing but the Bach cello suites. It got me playing again, after many years. Now I need to get back to it so I've taken out my cello and like a sad puppy, it's staring at me mournfully.

I solved it by giving all my viols to my dad.

I just had to make choices since we don't have 40 hour days.

Bacchanale by Saint-Saens. I have played this in several different venues and ensembles, and each one holds so many memories for me. I love the music for what it is, but it's the memories that make it poignant.

I'm sure that there's others.....

hm, sounds like we have the makings of a TE orchestra here.

Most of the music mentioned above can be found on youtube, sometimes by long dead virtuoso musicians

Wow we have some talented people on here. I am tone deaf so I just appreciate those who can play. I cannot even keep a beat but I do love music.

Oh yeah, +1 on "The Living Years." When that song first came out I couldn't even listen to the radio while I was driving, in case it came on. And Sarah McLachlan's "Angel."

These songs all make me bawl like a baby.

there are so many different versions of hallelujah out there. If you go to youtube, there's one by 4 finalists of the Norwegian Pop Idol and that one's nice, too. John Cale also did a version.
