Hey y'all it's that time of the day again......time for me to once again post in the *shudder* classical music thread! :biggrin:

Alright, here's tonight's program:

Faure- Cantique de Jean Racine



Chesnokov- "Do Not Cast me Off" (Concerto for Basso Profundo and Choir)



Ravel- Le Tombeau de Couperin
[SIZE="2"]Le tombeau de Couperin is a suite for solo piano by Maurice Ravel, composed between 1914 and 1917, in six movements based on those of a traditional Baroque suite. Each movement is dedicated to the memory of a friend of the composer (or in one case, two brothers) who had died fighting in World War I. Ravel also produced an orchestral version of the work in 1919, although this omitted two of the original movements.
The movements are as follows:

Turner- Rumpelstilzchen, movement 1.



The Star Spangled Banner, complete with all 4 verses- yes there are 4- and lyrics on screen. The accompanist does mess up the last chord a bit and throws a seventh in, but who cares. Still awesome!
