Pachebel’s canon - rediscovered.

I love the Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus by Vaughan Williams, its just so hauntingly beautiful.
Another favourite, and completely different is Highland Cathedral played by Andrè Rieu and his Johan Strauss orchestra.

I went to YouTube to listen again to Pachebels canon and one of my saved videos came up. This is Vivaldi and I love to watch this joyful rendition whenever I need to put a smile on my face.

The first video that came up for the canon was this one I'd not seen before.

I recently found Pachelbels canon played very seriously by rubber chicken. It just popped up on my Facebook feed. I don't know how to post a link. Sorry. It was funny but nice too.

Oh yes Clair De Lune another I love.that. Bizet's The Pearl Fishers was my mother's favourite, I think of her when I hear it.

Great thread by the way nanna8.

I've always loved that piece and didn't realise that was the name of it - I've told everyone that's what I want as my funeral music but ironically it is used for many weddings.
I love Trois Gymnopedies by Eric Satie and of course Clair De Lune by Debussy.

Cressy Yes. Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill version.(sp?)
I think it was the first piece of music that stopped me in my tracks as a teenager
Though I have gone to love many more now.

Bizet’s Pearl Fishers

Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Russian Dance from Swan Lake. The Catalogue Song from Don Giovani.

Pachebel's canon is the ringtone on my landline 😊
A rediscovered piece was Liebestraum by Liszt when we were putting together music for DH'S funeral, it is beautiful but it makes me cry now when I hear it.

So many to choose from - I love Pachelbel's Canon like so many others - also The Lark Ascending, plus Bach's Sheep may Safely Graze.

For me, it’s the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem. I do appreciate the other pieces of music mentioned here, too.

I so agree- it’s beautiful.

I have to say that I ‘rediscovered’ the Parry, which was always a favourite piece, when I came across a video of Paul McCreesh’s Gabrielli Consort and a massed choir from the Gabrielli ‘Roar’ programme - a training choir for young voices - when they were performing in Ely Cathedral. It absolutely blew my socks off!

If you liked "The lark ascending" you would also like "The Ashokan Farewell" Have a box of tissues handy.

and these two: Rhaspody on a Theme of Paganini- Rachmaninoff and Nimrod - Elgar.

Oh and loads of Puccini

Songs of the Auvergne .
An exquisite piece of music whoever sings it .
My list is endless....

Also love Lark Ascending, so moving.

We heard Miserere in a cathedral. The different voices were spread around the cathedral - it was beautiful. Some music is best enjoyed live.

Farewell to Stromness is lovely, discovered it a couple of years ago.

I have to say that the one piece of music I absolutely hate is Allegri’s Miserere. It goes on forever and is deeply depressing!

Whenever I need a lift, I listen to Parry’s “I Was Glad” with full chorus and orchestra. I feel refreshed after it. I also like the second movement of Poulenc’s C sharp minor piano concerto. It’s the most erotic piece of music I’ve ever heard.

Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana and of course, like others have mentioned up thread, Chasing Cars.

For me, it’s the Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem. I do appreciate the other pieces of music mentioned here, too.

I love the second movement of the Canon too. It’s so joyful.

I love Pachebel's Canon fron the moment I first heard discovered it, whenever that was.

Chasing Cars was played at the funeral of a lovely pupil who tragically died in a car accident. It was also played at the funeral of a much loved colleague thereafter. I find it difficult to listen to. I don't have any single piece of music - it depends on how I feel at the time. Fauré's requiem I love
