What music do you listen to? Who are your favorite musicians and composers? Do you listen strictly to classical? Inquring minds want to know.
Hmmmmm, well let's see..............
I like listening to all sorts of music. My favorite classical composers are Mozart, esp. the "Requiem" and the flute concerti; Haydn, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Debussy,............and at this time of year, Tchaikosvky's Nutcracker, Handels Messiah, and Britten's Ceremony Of Carols
I also love listening to jazz, swing, classic rock (Queen!),Broadway musicals, harp, country artists like Garth Brooks & Faith Hill, chant, Renaissance polyphony, early Bette Midler, Chopin Ballades, bluegrass, etc. etc. etc.
I draw the line at any song containing the word "Yo", or anything performed by a young woman with an exposed navel.:)
As far as performing, I am in heaven whenever doing a Mozart concerto of any kind, or playing in the orchestra pit for a music theater production. Fun, fun, fun.
Who are your favorite jazz artists?
Just the other day......I think on FOX, they had a trio of young British women who were super talented on violin, guitar and something else.
BUT they all....all 3 ....looked like hookers!!!
They were dressed in short...I mean SHORT skirts....torn looking things, exposed midriffs....I mean hooker material.
I wouldn't buy their music if you paid me!!!!
What a disservice to their talent and probably long years of study!!!
