Quote: Lately I am getting a galvanic skin response from Bach (the Erbarme dich aria from the Matthäuspassion sits at the top of my iTunes playcount). Brian Eno's ambient soundscapes are condusive to lucubration. Steve Reich for his phase music permutations (but not Philip Glass). Johannes Chrysostomos Theophilus or is it Gotlieb somethingorother. The Andantino from his Piano Concerto No. 9 in E Flat Major is beyond praise. The Way I Am by Eminem. The winding fractal gyres of Bach's fugues and cello suites. Leonard Cohen. Radiohead. And since I was a child I have liked that song "Let's Get Physical" by Olivia Newton John. What about you? Kate Bush - Aerial U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb David Myers play Genesis Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior Jon and Vangelis - Short Stories Oregon - Oregon (when I first heard [20 years ago] the song Impending Bloom, it totally altered the way I thought about music. a similar effect to reading The Foundation Series...) a favorite piece I've been performing is the Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen. other "classical" music that can move me at any time is: Sibelius' 2nd Symphony and Bach's Musical Offering. next? formerly known as etaoin...

I've been listening to a New Hampshire/Vermont area band called Nightingale that plays what I'd describe as folk music that's a mixture of Celtic, French-Canadian and other traditional influences. (Obviously, they are not to be confused with a heavy metal band of the same name.) I've been hooked ever since I heard them play at a contra dance in Berkeley, CA.

We haven't done one of these in a couple of years... Well. Bach, Mozart and Beethoven aside (being horses of a different concourse): I like bluegrass/Celtic (will have to look up Alex's Nightingale ), boomer oldies (especially Motown), Dylan and L Cohen and Joni Mitchell and all them folky types, folk (roots?) music from just about any country -- from down n dirty samba to the glorious male voices of Georgian choirs, Russian liturgical chant, classical Middle Eastern/Sfardic and South Indian music... it'd probably be quicker to say what I don't like: heavy metal, "mainstream" country, rap/hip-hop and whatever the kids are listening to nowadays [/curmudgeon]. I've recently discovered Heinrich Biber, a Baroque composer with a sense of humor (must have been the PDQ Bach of his time ) and am listening to him as well as anything NPR happens to be playing. Also listening to Mediæval, Renaissance and Baroque Christmas music as befits the season.
