One Favourite piece of Music?

The duet from Pearl Fishers by Bizet. I love the version sung by Robert Merrill and Jussi Bjorling.

Zadok the Priest. And Hey Jude

This is another favourite:

Summertime - played on saxaphone by Olivier Franc.

May I add a piece of film music. I love the soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean (Curse of the Black Pearl) by Klaus Badelt.

Ooh, so many to choose from, but my favourite would have to be Brahm's violin concerto, second movement. Our daughter was born to it being played. I had her at home, and my OH and the midwife were music buffs. Later on DD learned to play the violin, and now plays her electric violin in the Church music group.

Art thou troubled?

I love a lot of these but the one thatcreally struck a chord was 'How lovely are thy dwellings'. So beautiful!

So many! I have a playlist which contains all the music I love. I play it when feeling in need of destressing! Favourite probably has to be Vaughan Williams' 'Variations on a Theme by Thomas Tallis'.

Sorry, that should be 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis' ?

Lark ascending and Wonderful world _ Louis Armstrong.

I regularly replay Louis Armstrong on youtube.

hildajenniJ you are absolutely right. That is still the best version, my mother used to play it all the time.

Mars from The Planet Suite for Classical music

Abide with me for a hymn

Lady in Red for a pop song

Jupiter from the Planets
'Tonight' from West Side Story
Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream

And many many more

Beethoven's 1st Piano Concerto. Overture Thieving Magpie by Rossini.

They remind me of my father. .

Music intro to War of the Worlds (sorry don't know title or composer)

If allowed words
The bonnie banks o' Loch Lomand

Northern lights of old Aberdeen

Jerusalem

Bread of heaven

Morning has broken

Like a bridge over troubled water

Amazing grace

Lark Ascending for the thrill down my back as it builds to its climax, and Mozart's Requiem as it is just a sublime piece of music.

As far as pop music goes, anything with a stunning guitar solo - just love rock and heavy metal

The five variant of Dives and Lazarus by R. Vaughn Williams is just glorious too. I keep remembering my favourites. If you aren't familiar with it here's a link

Hilda I thought about 'Five Variants' the other day when there was a thread on here about folk tunes being transposed to hymns. I said that Vaughan Williams used to do it and that was one of the ones he wrote based on a folk song and then used it as a hymn tune. It's a lovely piece, but then, I love all his music, especially the Norfolk Rhapsodies at the moment.

Blow the Wind Southerly.

Got lots if favourites but here's one

Into the mystic by Van Morrison

Greyduster I love all of Vaughn Williams music. It is so very difficult to pick a favourite but the five variants is top of the list at the moment. This is the hymn you spoke of:. youtu.be/6rr_4M5LQLo

On Days Like These ( Matt Monroe?) used as theme to the Italian Job.

Chosen because of all our lovely Italian holidays.

The Dance Of The Knights ( from Romeo and Juliet) is pretty (what my DD would call awesome too.)
