SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
Anthony Aaron, and Steve C.

Every Sunday morning we present selections for our TBP family to enjoy.

We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.

Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may stray a little, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.

We offer tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light-hearted and fun aimed at a younger audience. Those pieces will be so designated, and might be a good way to introduce kids to a world of music that they might not have been exposed to or think of as old and ‘stuffy’.

A full symphony will run as long as it will. We don’t want to cut a symphony short. However, we also include some shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes in length. You can sample each and hopefully find one or more that pleases you.

We hope that you enjoy our Sunday selections.

Altai-Kai – Комузым, ойно, ойно (Играй, играй, мой комуз).

Altai-Kai – Ойно, ойно, Алтай (Играй, играй, Алтай)

Altai Kai is a world-renowned ensemble of throat singers from the Republic of Altai (Northwest from Mongolia). The throat singing group was founded in 1997 by Urmat Yntaev, with the goal of preserving and cultivating the traditional culture of the Republic of Altai, in particular the various styles of Mongolian throat singing known as kai. Their velvety kargyraa (the lowest style of throat singing), mesmerizing khoomei (middle range throat singing), and melodic sygyt (highest range throat singing) place the listener amidst forests of singing birds, gurgling brooks, and the growls of nighttime predators. Stories of nature’s beauty and mighty folk heroes are accompanied by jocular melodies, dancing rhythms, and shamanic mysteries. The narrators skillfully relate traditional, sacred tales and epics of centuries past. Throat singing and the ringing melodies of the khomus, topshur, and accordion all come together to form the sound of Altai Kai. The art form of throat singing has been passed on through generations, and the members of Altai Kai are virtuosos in multiple genres. They are laureates of numerous national and international competitions, and Altai Kai has participated in prestigious international festivals of world music, including their international debut at WOMEX 2007 (Spain) and WOMAD (Great Britain). Through their international touring, Altai Kai has introduced the world to the beauty of kai (the Altai word for throat singing). In 2003, they were inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest performance of throat singing. They are members of the Folklore Union of Russia, and the International Organization of Folk Art (an NGO accredited by UNESCO). The Altai Republic was part of the Mongolian Dzungaria Empire before the Russians invaded the region. Altaic people are Mongolian Oirat and Uriankhai people ethnically and culturally. Altaic people speak both Mongolic and Turkic languages. Turkic is a language originated Mongolia and the language migrated to West due to nomadic peoples migrations from Mongolia.

【古筝Guzheng】《行者》漠漠黄沙，绿洲古国，我心追寻 Chinese Zither Explorer | 唐代装束

The author takes the Silk Road as the theme, and seems to be looking for the beliefs and civilizations that have disappeared in the desert yellow sand…

The quicksand gathers and disperses, and people and birds leave no trace. A mirage and fantasy city, the hot wind is burning. The lonely monk on the white horse does not go on the Chang’an road until he has learned the truth.
