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.

Yuja Wang & Wiener Philharmoniker – Rhapsody in Blue (George Gershwin)

Yuja performs a very well-known piece here, and the attraction is the organizer’s efforts in staging the presentation.

Notice the size of the crowd.

Jean Sibelius: Symphony No. 5

The Symphony No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 82, by Jean Sibelius is a symphony in three movements.

Sibelius was commissioned to write the symphony by the Finnish government in honour of his 50th birthday, 8 December 1915, which had been declared a national holiday. The symphony was originally composed in 1915; it was revised in 1916 and 1919.

During his creative process, Sibelius wrote in his diary: “It was as if God the Father was throwing pieces of mosaic from the edge of heaven and asking me to figure out what the pattern was.”

Karen Carpenter-Don’t Cry For Me Argentina

This song was used in the movie ‘Evita’, which was released in 1996.

Karen recorded it twenty years earlier.

Apparently, it is a very difficult song to sing and with her amazing voice, great range and perfect pitch she does a great job on it.

Even if you don’t like Karen Carpenter I think you should give this a listen. It’s truly magnificent…
