As the title implies, I suggest we show what our favourite classical pieces happen to be.



Mine happen to be the following:


For Symphonic Band
Ludwig Van Beethoven's Symphony Number 5 in C Minor, Opus 67, Allegro, 2nd Movement.

Oh the sweet, powerful song this particular piece weaves! The thunderous 5th has always arrested me in its force and ability to shake my soul.

As a side note, this song is of particular interest when on LSD.


For Piano
Clade Debussy's Clair De Lune

This is of no surprise - Clair De Lune is an instantly recognizable piece, and happens to be a truly beautiful piece of work. Some of Chopin's, Bach, and Sibelius' works contend for this position as well, but I feel none of them can quite match the light, beautiful rhythms found within Clair De Lune. Well, maybe Chopin's Prelude in D Flat, Op. 28 No. 15 - Allegro Molto, but this has a much grander, sombre timbre to it.


For Orchestra
Barry Wordsworth's Fantasia On A Theme

The sheer strength that this song pulls on your emotional strings is unmatched, I believe. To hear Thomas Tallis move his heart through the lone, weeping cello is, simply put, unreal.
