One Favourite piece of Music?

Clare de Lune

Fur Elise ... or as we used to call it at the piano lessons, For Elsie! :-)

Bruch's violin concerto.

Ronald Blythe's Sailing By

Greig's Holberg Suite.
My favourite keeps changing.

Dolly Parton - 9 to 5
Shania Twain - I feel like a woman

Christian music - What a friend we have in Jesus

I mean Sailing By written by Ronald Binge! Not Blythe....predictive text!!!!

How do you choose one?

Anything by Rossini.

Moon River for my wake.....'.I,m off to see the world,there,s such a lot of world to see.'

Ludvico Einaudi's I Giorno .

At the moment (going to lower the tone here) its the Go Compare ad, sing it often and when it comes on I join in with gusto and it lifts my mood instantly.

My all time favourite is It Takes Two by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston.
Mick

The Lark ascending - I want it played at my funeral.

But I have loads and a very wide taste in music.

My knowledge of classical music is non existent. There are a few pieces I really like but I can't put a name to them.
My all time favourite popular song is "I heard it through the grapevine"

I love Lark as well whitewave, instant relaxation, and also Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis.

Some lovely choices here.
Mine? Maybe Beethoven Violin Concerto. Greensleeves? Mr Tambourine Man? No, it'll have to be Leonard Cohen but which song? Buddy Holly Every Day?
Or Bryn Terfel singing Shenandoah. Or Once in Royal David's City from King's College Chapel on Christmas Eve.
I'd better go and listen to some music! Can't even easily make a short list!

Amazing Grace. A Gospel Choir. The Leaving of Liverpool.
I'm off!

Arrival of the Queen of Sheba. I am having it t my funeral

Crikey! There are so many, but the one that gives me the biggest lift when I need it is Bach's Prelude in E Major played on the piano (preferably by Helene Grimaud). It is originally from one of his violin partitas, but it is Bach at his most vibrant, exuberant and sensationally uplifting. It will definitely be played at my funeral, along with Coronation Scot, to which I will depart this life's platform. ”The train now leaving platform three is the Coronation Scot....".

Oh, and Brahms' "How lovely are thy dwellings". Sublime.

Greyduster, we need a like button. I 'like' the Coronation Scot!!

Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending is my favourite.

Doesn't have to be classical, Nina, you can pick Rock around the clock if you like!!

Elrel I listened to Bryn Terfel a couple of nights ago singing "Some enchanted evening". Another of my favourites . I have a recording of him singing Shenandoah.

mrsmop I was going with the thread title
'piece of music' to me that means instrumental rather than a song
I did chose a favourite song.
