Help! Gotta find figure out this song!

WordisBomb — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 02:24:56 GMT

About a week ago I was picking my mom up from work and I was listening to NPR 88.7, a classical music station. A song came on that I was ridiculously entranced to. It was a classical piano piece that lasted till I arrived home. My mom had already exited the vehicle and was in the house and I was sitting there in the driver's seat, hanging on to every note and chord that was played like it was feeding me a full-course meal of the best food I've ever tasted. I was so immersed in the piece that I totally missed the artist and song name. I attempted to retain the information but I was still reeling from the music itself.

All I really have is "Bosco" for the artist and "Sweet Bargimas" for the song title. Also, those are what I quickly scribbled down so my spelling of the correct artists and song title may be varied.

If anyone can pick up from those so-called clues and knows or can find out(I've tried already :) about the song and artist, It'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Even if you don't participate, it should be quite a thing to experience live.

Gotta love these girls.
Anyone heard of them? No? You gotta listen to one of their pieces.

Can anybody recommend some dark classical music for me?

MilitarySpartan — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 21:15:33 GMT

I'm currently working on a video project and require a some background music for one of the scenes. The scene is filled with death and darkness, by darkness I mean both the darkness that lies within people and the darkness of combat. Btw the scene is not medival warfare its modern. Also the character its centered around is rather dark himself but heroic in the same light. If you have any recommendations could you please post them? I would prefer that there be no lyrics since the purpose is background or theme music.

Beethoven's Complete Works

Anonymous — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 06:33:57 GMT

I was at the book store today and they were selling an 87 CD set of Beethoven's complete works. They were selling it for $150 but I found it on Amazon for $125.

I really want this but it isn't something that I would spend money on. Does anybody else have it?

If so, I'm curious about the sound quality. I'm sure that the whole thing isn't performed by the RPH but is it worth the money? I have many Beethoven CDs now but not nearly everything.

Challenge - Sunday March 2 is "10 new tracks" day!!

Mr Weather B — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:28:31 GMT

Here's an easy one, especially for those with a Zune Pass... on Sunday March 2, listen to 10 tracks of classical music you have never heard before. You can do 10 tracks from a single CD, mix it up with 10 different pieces by the same composer, or go all out and pick 10 movements from 10 different composers. The "classical" definition is loose here, you can go modern with Gavin Bryars or Philip Glass, or go with the old standbys like Beethoven or Dvorak. Just pick 10 tracks you have NEVER heard before. Dig deep in the Zune Pass, pick up a couple CDs from the library, or drop a few bucks at Amazon on some MP3s. If you are a classical neophyte, go ahead and pick Ode to Joy or the Messiah, it only matters that they be new to you!

All the better if some of these tracks will actually show up on your recently played list, and some of your friends spot them and give a listen too. Take a look through the social and you will find plenty of composers or ensembles with zero plays... that would be a good place to start, make yourself their number 1 fan with just 1 play!

Drop a reply and let everyone know if you plan to participate. Ask for suggestions if you don't know where to start!

Anyway, whether the tracks show up on your recently played list or not, come back after the 2nd and post what you played, and what you liked (or didn't). There have to be some closet classical listeners out there, and hopefully some soon-to-be-converts.

What classical music do you have on your Zune?

I personally have Beethoven.
I hope to get more on there but it's hard to find.
Don't tell me I suck because I listen to classical but I know you all like it.
EDIT:
Realize I spelled 'me' wrong.
