Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki - Symphony No. 3

To be completely honest, my knowledge of the classics, musically speaking, is not very thorough. Truly, the only thing that leads me to post this is that I believe no matter who you are, no matter what you listen to, you must be able to enjoy music like this if you are going to call yourself a fan of music at all. Admittedly, I don't listen to classical music often, but it has always been one of, if not my favorite, genres to appreciate and listen to. A well written metal song might take a few days, a few weeks, maybe a year. A concerto, a symphony... these are years in the making, pieces of art reserved for people who have patience, who can enjoy effort. So, indulge yourself in this moving, beautiful artwork. Where it will take you is up to you and your willingness to give in to the passion of the music. This is where music came from; we are blind to the future if we are deaf to the past.

Indulge.

Claude Debussy - Suite Bergmasque

The only "real" impressionist composer. Beautiful music. Billowing, floaty and moving. Suite Bergmasque is probably his most well known work.

Suite Bergmasque

Francis Poulenc

One of my favourite composers. Francis Poulenc was born in Paris in 1899. He's composed choral works, ballet, orchestral, art song etc.

This is a small choral work called Quatre petites prieres de St. Francis d' Assise, which is comprised of four a capella movements. Hauntingly beautiful.

btw doesnt he look like the newspaper guy from Spiderman?
