Longhair Music, Anyone?
What's "longhair music"?
From Websters':
long.hair n \'lonj-.ha(*)r, -.he(*)r\
[back-formation fr. longhaired]
1 : a person of artistic gifts or interests; esp :
a lover of classical music
2 : an impractical intellectual
long-hair adj or long-haired
Classical, intellectual, impractical...yeah, I like to listen to
Gustav Mahler!
Other favorite composers this week include
Rachmaninoff,
J.S. Bach,
Handel, and Chopin.
Recent listening
- Ella at Duke's Place! A swinging respite from long-haired music.
What could be better for a Saturday afternoon? Ella is the Queen of Scat!
- Brahms: Handel Variations, piano.
- Johan de Meij: Symphony No. 1 for Wind Band, "The Lord of the Rings."
Romantic, brassy, cosmic. Reminds me of a cross between Wagner
and John Williams, only better.
- Mahler: Symphony No. 9, Bruno Walter, 1961.
