2021-02-17 21:58:25 +0000 UTCBtw, I can sing along with most of The Messiah and all of Carmina Burana (Tom Servo's theme inspired me to look into it. Thank you for that!!). I am one of many music lovers out there, keep the classical minis coming!!

2021-01-16 03:48:20 +0000 UTCIn college, I had an awesome music professor (Robert Sutherland) who really influenced my love of classical music. He played the organ like a boss and had many a protégé follow him in his organing. I remember when I had just started his class, he announced he would give extra credit to anyone who had been to a performance of Handel's Messiah. I was a nerd who went to every concert of the Pittsburgh Renaissance and Baroque Society. I thought I would show off by mentioning my attendance at their performance of The Messiah the week before and get easy extra credit....yeah, I didn't get it, but at least it humbled me enough to listen and learn in his class.

2021-01-04 23:51:00 +0000 UTCNobody offered, but I would listen to a podcast called 372 minutes we will get back, in which Mike talks about classical music. I recently listened through Handel's Messiah, then I got a copy of the Mozart version and listened to that. The "sick remix" Mozart did is cool. How about Bach St. Matthew's Passion? Wife and I recently watched the challenging and strangely compelling Rattle/Sellars ritualized version of that.

2021-01-04 19:01:18 +0000 UTCHa, do you even DISC, brah? That's an amazing recording, what company is it? I've heard about people who feel that God works through them, and when they really get into the zone don't even know what's happening. Hope some day I feel that! But for now the creative process is largely trudging through thick mud, haha.

2021-01-04 17:04:56 +0000 UTCYou're not alone, Mike. A few weeks ago, I got myself in a mess on a project when I forgot that Germany did not exist in Beethoven's lifetime.
