Barber's Adagio For Strings

[katinthehat]

I must have overlooked it, but Jarre's music is also in the film...

Actually MM - I stand corrected (dug the CD out....)
- it is NOT Barbers Adagio - it is Albinoni's - full track listing of soundtrack......

ADAGIO IN G MINOR FOR STRINGS & ORGAN"
Tomaso Albinoni
OXYGENE"
Jean Michel Jarre
"THE PEARL FISHERS"
Georges Bizet
"TALES FROM THE VIENNA WOODS - ROSES FROM THE SOUTH"
Johann Strauss
"CENTONE DI SONATA No. 3"
Niccolò Paganini
"IT'S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY"

So I apologise (not too big to admit when I am wrong!) - but there - sorted now - still a great piece of music!!!

Faure's Requiem is a choker, too. You can get a flavour on Amazon

i think nimrod is a very haunting peice of music. i can remember the last two times i listened to it properly all the way through 1- lying inbetween the tent spines in BAS looking for shooting stars 2- XV179's memorial in salisbury cathedrail. everytime i hear it now i want to cry, same with the last post. I didn't realise the power of music on feelings and memory until i joined up. so many different songs remind me of dets, or people or things that have happened, some good and make me smile and some heart renchingly sad and i just want to sit crying.

try here for a sample--> http://www.amadeusorchestra.co.uk/other/AmadeusOrchestra-Elgar-Nimrod.mp3
now i know the tune. there's a bit of a blank part at the beginning.
EDIT: it's just the recording. v. quiet at the start.

The thread is about Barbers Adagio....... Don't get me started on Elgar...::

sorry!

barber's music is haunting but very lovely and very lonely. makes me think of going away and of the people i love and my a/c flying into the sunset.

Sometimes i think good music can be overused and that diminishes the peice but the best pieces just keep going..... adagio is one of those
