Best Classical Music

Post by IRG CommandoJoe »

What is the best work ever composed, in your opinions? It can be anything from sonatas, entire symphonies, overtures, movements from a symphony, operas, ballets, variations of a theme, series of preludes/etudes, etc.

Currently, Bach's Fugue in G minor, also known as the "Little Fugue."

Carmina Burana, Carl Orff.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Beethoven - Ode to joy
[img=right]http://hem.bredband.net/b217293/warsaban.gif[/img]

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. ... If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. ... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus

Fear is the mother of all gods.

Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods. -Lucretius

I like Mozart's Requiem, K. 626.

Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings.

My personal favourite.
"Aw hell. We ran the Large-Eddy-Method-With-Allowances-For-Random-Divinity again and look; the flow separation regions have formed into a little cross shape. Look at this, Fred!"
