I don't like country music, but if you listen to the lyrics, the song is actually a hymn:

Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People, is a real classic:
Some trivia, Marilyn Manson had the bottom part of his rib cage removed so he could suck himself off!

No, Matt...THIS is a real classic.
..and will still be performed and played long after Marilyn is dust.

Wooo, Ricky Martin!
Ricky Martin is gay, but should be forgiven due to his musical talent.

Grim, I listened to the Miserere on your post, and I found it to be quite boring and dirge like. So once again I wondered why we have different reactions to the same music. To some extent the following transcript explains some of my questions. www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/allinthemind/the-music-in-your-brain/4985414#transcriptMy favourite pieces of music are Tchaikovsky's Symphony Pathetique and my favourite opera piece is the Sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor. Also anything by ABBA and Judith Durham.

Matts taste in muzak sounds like something that FOX FM has told him to like. Meanwhile, here is some 20 th century answer to 'classical music"

"and now I'm getting carried away", lol HG, easy to do with so much diverse music. My husband quite liked the same music as me, but was a huge jazz fan. I can still hear the music of Sister Ernestine Washington,, Bessie Smith and Fats Waller in my head.
Grim, I hope my criticism of the recording you posted didn't offend, was not my intention, just my curiosity on how we have different reactions to music.

Also anything by ABBA and Judith Durham. Fair enough Sonex...life would be boring if we all liked the same stuff I suppose I am as much enamoured by the story of this piece of music as much as the music itself which, personally I find complex and highly textured. I particularly like how, in the closing few bars, all voices sing essentially the same note on different octaves and then split into a wondrous polyphonic chord on the last note. Remember too, that traditionally these works were sung by an all male choir, the high C sung by the woman in blue may well have been the job of a castrato! Now, the story... Gregorio Allegri composed the piece ( full title, Miserere mei, Deus - Have mercy on me oh God )around 1630. The piece was fiercely protected by the church with anyone copying or performing facing excommunication. A young 14 yo Mozart heard it performed, went home and wrote the entire thing down from memory. He went back a couple of days later to hear again and made a few corrections. He sent it to England , it was released publicly and the ban lifted.

Grim, yes, I remember reading about the ban some years ago. I think maybe you have a more intellectual appreciation of music than I, as it said in the article I quoted.....
"At its essence, music moves us because it serves as a metaphor for emotional life. Like life, music speeds up and it slows down and it stops to breathe a bit. It has peaks and valleys of tension and release. It mimics the dynamics of our emotional life.", and for me, this is missing in some Gregorian Chants and the Miserere, whereas the Pathetique has it all as do the operatic arias I like and which do have an emotional effect.

Thank you for the compliment Sonex, but in reality, I think the quote from the article is closer to the mark when it comes to my appreciation of Miserere. It does strike an emotional chord in me. In a couple of weeks I will be seeing The Tallis Scholars perform this live at QPAC ...And I will be taking tissues just in case!

I hope you have a lovely time with the Tallis Scholars Grim, I'm guessing they aren't coming to FNQ. I did listen to a clip of them, very structured and superb technique and singing, but it failed to "emote" me, my loss I guess. Now for emotion, listen to this aria, Pavarotti absolutely wallows in it, and me with him. I first saw this opera when I was about 13 yrs at the Convent Garden Opera House, and I needed tissues at the end when Tosca threw herself over the battlements.

And one more, the quartet from Rigoletto.

Sonex
Thanks for sharing those two treasures! The world is a poorer place with the loss of Pavarotti and Sutherland.
I missed your earlier comment and no, I wasn't offended...thanks though.
We rarely see anything of that calibre in FNQ. That said, though Townsville does host the Chamber Music Festival, (which ABC classic FM does cover well)..a week after hosting the V8 super cars! Ahh well, such be the mix of Townsvillains! Cairns has the Ten Tenors next month...can't make it though
