crosskore 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 I know there was a big topic on music, but i didnt notice any classical. I just saw a comemrcial for counter strike and the background had a hardcore cool classical song. I was just wandering if any of you knew any good classical songs, or Ode's.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 I have a couple of Andres Segovia CDs, classical acoustic guitar. On a goofy note Scatterbrain did a couple of Sonatas on their CDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 "Flight of the Valkeries" (sp?) Wagner I think...."Pachelbel's Canon" is another good one and there is a piece of music that I heard first in "Bram Stokers Dracula" that pops up in a movie every few years, but I don't know the name of it...Incidently if you play "Hook" by Blues Traveller...I'm told that the musical progression is the same as Pachelbel's Canon...Cheers.

mmhky_11 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 What is the classical music song they usually use for war? I know some NHL arenas play it before the game. Actualy it's more of an opera song, and I know it's a shot in the dark with the description I gave, but any suggestions would be great thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crosskore 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 Yea, I know what your talking about when you say the music they use for war and battles and stuff. I think thats what they had for the counter strike comemrcail. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack when you try to search for it though, seeing as how I dont know the name of it!

crosskore 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 Thats it. I have been looking for that song for like a year. Do you know anymore songs like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirsch 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 Just two quick suggestions. I play double-bass in my schools orchestra and I listen to alot of classical. First I can't beleive no one has mentioned Tchaikovsky. He is probably my favorite composer. His most well known composition and for very good reason is the 1812 Overture. Also a popular song is Orff Carmina Burana. I can't remember off hand the specific movement but as soon as you hear it you will know what it is.Edit: just realized that the name of the Orff Carmina Burana song is "O Fortuna". My bad.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted June 18, 2004 Actually, I love Tchaikovsky's works. Many of the Russian composers were more violent or busy in their compositions, things that I tend to like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There really isn't alot of Opera music that is really 'hardcore' most of it is fat chicks screaming to their top of their lungs in Latin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
