RE: André Rieu keeps climbing on my personal playlist year after year - this is why! (Voiceless Music of Higher Intelligence)

in #fantastic-music8 years ago (edited)

I had never heard of André Rieu nor Sir Anthony Hopkins. There are so many amazing composers & conductors in the world (I studied piano in college) that we never got to in my program.

I really enjoyed the elegant simplicity of Hopkins' writing. It's refreshing at a time in the world where so many things are needlessly complicated, including our art. I loved seeing the expressions on different audience members as well as the Hopkins and his wife. It underscores the intense "livingness" of music.

Thanks for sharing @fyrstikken!

Here is a piece I really enjoy by the revolutionary composer Dolores Catherino. She invented a system of pitch division called polychromatism. Warning: this music is quite unusual to the ears at first because it uses intervals not in our "typical" scale of 12 notes. Over time the ears will expand after listening to microtonal music and grow to like it. :) I hope you enjoy her composition called "Recurrence."


All credit goes to Dolores Catherino as composer of this interesting style of music. How did you feel as you listened/ watched this?

Wow - This is astounding - I'm going to check into more of her music. Thanks @d-pend ! Fascinating .....

Great, please do! Glad you enjoyed it :)

The style of music felt a little like Vangelis.
