I've seen this thread before a few weeks ago, but I can't seem to find it now :( there was so many good suggestions, so I'm asking, what song(s) would you CTB to?
The second concerto with its opening tolling chords and dirge-like theme in the cellos and basses that follows, anchored by the lowest C on the piano, is music to accompany the dessification of my soul.Until recently I was not-so-mildly obsessed with Rachmaninov . I'm a synesthete and his stuff is a trip! Haha
He loves the low notes, doesn't he! In the chorale pieces I always pitied the men. As a coloratura I was just there for the sake of an extra voice; the men had all of the work to do. When I let myself "see" music, it was the low strings that stirred up the most vivid images of movement and depth (the lower and more dirge-like the better).The second concerto with its opening tolling chords and dirge-like theme in the cellos and basses that follows, anchored by the lowest C on the piano, is music to accompany the dessification of my soul.
Awesome you got to sing his old-church-slavonic Russian stuff! The vespers are amazing. The basses have to growl out a low b-flat at the end of one movement.He loves the low notes, doesn't he!

Love it!! Forgive me, it's been 20 years since I spoke academically about music. These days I just feel and see it. I forgot how magical serious music is. Popular stuff has been good because I don't have to invest a lot of energy and thought into experiencing it but it's so worth it. Thank you for the reminder.There's actually a prelude called the "suicide" prelude. It's in F Minor. No. 18 I think. You can hear a person's desperation in struggling to overcome the SI, digging into their utter torment to find the will to take the ultimate plunge, ending with two death knell chords at the end that declare the heartbeat's flatlining. The raindrop is more sublime, though, and comforting.
Hahahaha It took the longest time to be able to sing it without sobbing through it. It's just way too powerful for me. I don't even open that Pandora's box anymore.Awesome you got to sing his old-church-slavonic Russian stuff! The vespers are amazing.

Rotten Apple is definitely the Alice in Chains song I would go out on.2 songs by Alice in Chains: Rotten Apple and Nutshell
This will more than likely be the last song I will listen to. It's one of my favorite songs and I love Tim Eriksen's music. First discovered him on Rhapsody in 2004. Fell in love immediately. ♡
