One Favourite piece of Music?

Another one for Beethoven's Violin Concerto. I want to die to that, romping into paradise to the Rondo.

Jules Massenet's Meditation de Thais, preferably played by Nigel Kennedy. It's the background to some very beautiful moments in my life. I heard a busker playing it when I was shopping recently and it so took me by surprise I couldn't stop smiling, even though the tears were running down my face

Pearl Fishers' Duet-Bjorling & Merrill

Stars-les Miserables

It is indeed, Hilda. It was one of the hymns at my d-i-l's funeral service - i don't know who chose it, not DS, but I think I was the only one outside the normal congregation of the church who was familiar with the tune. I was talking to the vicar afterwards and he was, if course, very familiar with the hymn, but didn't know the "Five Variants".

Stansgran, love that song, always reminds me of my mum, who died aged 58☹️

Oh dear - best I don't put mine on

Too many favourites! Today I choose Shostakovich The Gadfly - Romance.

Come on Willow. I admitted I was a rock chick at heart!

Greyduster and Elrel - I read that as Coronation Street.

Is it a piece of music per day?

Some days it is something happy, others nostalgic, or soaring and heavenly, perhaps melancholy depending on the mood I'm in.
Sometimes it's just a bit of rubbish which lingers as an earworm!

Angela Gheorghiu singing the Libera Me from Verdi's Requiem - the middle section.

Oh Lord! I don't want to go out to that, NotTooOld! NOOOOOO!

I did name my favourite but may I add one more on purely sentimental grounds

'SHE' Charles Aznavour. It was the last record my husband bought me before his death

Nimrod from Enigma Variations
Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an Exhibition
Lacrymosa from Mozart Requiem
Last movement of Beethoven 9

And many more...

Today's choice. Offering Chant-Lama Gyurme. First heard on Something Understood with Mark Tully, so peaceful.

Anything by Fleetwood Mac .

So, so many! Among my favourites are:
-Adiemus by Karl Jenkins
-Samuel Barber's Agnes Dei (Choral version of Adagio for Strings)
-Ma Vlast by Smetana
-In the Arms of an Angel - Sarah McLachlan
-Adia by Sarah McLachlan
-There's a Light by Beth Nielsen Chapman
-Mollie's Song by Beverly Craven

And, oh yes Daddima Mozart's Lacrimosa!

Too many for me as well but this short Mozart one has a lovely melody.

It is also relatively easy to sing compared with many another choral work.

The dreadful Christmas cards spoil the visual effects though.

If I really want to feel mournful, then Barber's Adagio will do it every time.

I have been struggling with that piece of Mozart on the piano, and though it is not yet spot on (by any means) I am almost at the stage where it doesn't sound mangled anymore! It is a beautiful piece.

Impossible to choose one. Bach's double violin concerto and Danny and the Juniors 'At the Hop'.
What a wonderful playlist we are compiling here. Can Gransnet produce the CD?

It's All Right Now - by Free. I want it played at my funeral (along with Morning has Broken)

Can't possibly choose a favourite!
I love many of the ones already mentioned, but one that hasn't been - Benjamin Britten, Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Purcell.

My choice of something lighter would be La Mer, by Charles Trenet.

Pop music - Rod Stewart, Mama you been on my Mind.

The Song of the Children of Israel (Verdi,Nabucco)Sang it in a massed choir festival at school(an amazing experience)and heard the opera in Vienna with DH
Canon Lan and Cwn Rhondda (sung at my wedding, my childrens' blessings and the funerals of my DPs and my DB)
And I would like to 'go out'with the Bruch violin concerto playing .It is so sensual .
