Your favourite classical pieces

and William Byrd, John Bull, Giles Farnaby, and Thomas Campion!

I sleep with their scores near my pillow

Was it Dowland who wrote that Madrigal with the "I swear that this tobacco is very, very mellow" line in it?

Those wacky Elizabethans!

I have bought two mighty books "The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book" with many titles of them and more unknown composers some year ago. I only have no Virginal

Some guitar pieces by Anthony Holborne are wonderful too. For a shmaltzy guy like me Jan Akkerman (dutch guitarist) made a guitar-version of a piece originally for 5 brass-players or so: "Lady Pembroke's paradise". Aaaah....

[Klemperer]

In fact (and thanks to MMdeJonge who reminded me of it after listening to a song of him) my fav classical work is, err, from my father. He died long ago, I was a kiddy, and had composed many (or some ) works for piano or voice and piano or a trio, and I found all those in a dark cellar some year.

So, people, take notice of the composer Wilhelm Fries (1930-1971), and the works I'll put in some, err, years, on my website. First I have to learn to play them, after having scored them into Anvil Studio as midi-files.

Cool!
Stay on it, and don't screw it up!
Looking foward to hearing the works of Mr. Fries.

Hey, that's very nice of you . I'll surely do .

Yeah right Neil Diamond. A Hot August Night in the key of G major. Year right, your dad transposed it to it midi with fruity loops.

Exactly. He was in the habit of owning things of the future, but instead of Fruity he liked EnergyXT more.

[Klemperer]

But now, sorry for this interruption, go on with the masters . To add something

Was it the two big Dover paperbacks? I picked those up a while ago, have been meaning to make some midi's from them...

I'm quite partial to Holborne's Funerals Pavane...

[Voidoid Surrealist]

OH!, except that I have to mention Ockeghem, who not only did things with rhythm that would have amazed Stravinsky (in circa 1450!) but who is very pleasant on the ear as well.

What rhythmicly fun pieces would you reccomend?
I've heard a bit of Johannes Ockeghem, but not nearly enough.

eek ... someone else who knows

btw a great piece to jam to is William Byrd's Mass for 4 voices (any of it).

Play the midis then jam ... be Hendrix over a bed of luxurious harmonies. You can waste a whole day this way
