classical music by Beethoven

[Maxmya]

My wife majored in piano at Bob Jones University, so I got to love classical music there along with sacred Christian music. I love the hymns by Fanny Crosby and John Wesley which glorified God! Music should exalt Jesus Christ! I also like the music performed in the show Faith for the Family which used to air on Saturday night in Greenville, S.C.

Beethoven is okay. In the classical genre, I would have to say that my favorite piece is probably Pachelbel's Canon in D. I primarily use classical music when studying, working, or to wake up to in the morning. Because of the lack of words, I don't differentiate between most songs. :frog

I enjoy a lot of classical music but I'm not familiar with all the details.

Ooh, Canon in D is the best!! I've heard so many versions of it (like done at different speeds or with different sets of instruments) and it just never loses it's awesomeness. :smile


Oh, and I know many of you probably haven't seen it, but the movie August Rush has some really awesome classical music! I bet the soundtrack is going to be great!

(all the movie review sites will tell you it's got some questionable content, but I don't remember anything bad in it at all.. besides the idea that he was born out of wedlock, but it doesn't promote that, it just shows where this genius boy came from)

I'm planning on seeing it, all of my students have already seen it just about. lol There were a few cuss words in it, though, so I'll wait until it's out on DVD so that we can watch it with our TVG.

[kevinmiller]

I honestly don't remember the cuss words but I know they're there (from the critic site). Oh, and there's a teensy little bit of rock music in it, but that's because the boy's daddy is a rock singer (at the beginning of the movie) but it only shows that a little bit. It's not focused on the rock music at all and the boy doesn't learn to play rock music.

Btw, have you heard of Andy McKee? Do a search on Youtube.. he plays with just the guitar and the boy on August Rush does sort of the same thing when he gets a guitar.

I used to like classical music, but I got convicted that it was just appealing to my flesh as surely as rock ect. appealed to the flesh of others. Although perhaps not wicked, it was just vanity and weariness of the bones... I like music to much to "waste" it on nothing. Personally, I feel that music is dedicated to God and him alone and I will use it for nothing else. Thats just me though. :Green

[kevinmiller]

That's cool, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I haven't heard of that guy, I'll have to check him out sometime. :smile

As for me, give me Pathtique any day. Mmmmm, yummy.

Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" is one of my all-time favorites.

My grandmother was a classically trained pianist and violinist, so I grew up listening to a lot of classical music (among other things).

I don't listen to much classical now, but when I do open mic nights, sometimes I'll play Mozart's Allegro on guitar, Dave Edmunds style, while I stall to think of another song to play.

I enjoy most classical music. I like Pachobel's Canon - used to have it as a ringtone. Handel's Messiah is one of my favorites, and I really like Ravel's Bolero.
