What piece of classical music do you like?

[Inchante]

i have a general aversion to posting any Sarah Brightman, but she does not butcher this one as much as she usually does.

Baïlèro from Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne (a series of folk songs from the Auvergne region of France arranged by Canteloube for orchestra and classical voice).




This is what is called a Pastoral, music that provides the image or content of natural beauty and often has a love theme.

Baïlèro -- Shepherd's Song

Shepherd across the river,
You're hardly having a good time,
Sing baïlèro lèrô

Shepherd, the meadows are in bloom.
You should graze your flock on this side,
Sing baïlèro lèrô

Shepherd, the water divides us,
And I can't cross it,
Sing baïlèro lèrô

Shepherd across the river,
You're hardly having a good time,
Sing baïlèro lèrô
No, I'm not,
And you, too, can sing baïlèro

Shepherd, the meadows are in bloom.
You should graze your flock on this side,
Sing baïlèro lèrô
The grass is greener in the meadows on this side,
Baïlèro lèrô

Shepherd, the water divides us,
And I can't cross it,
Sing baïlèro lèrô
Then I'll come down and find you,
Baïlèro lèrô

Tomita - Snowflakes Are Dancing.

Title track from his 1974 album. I don't usually like classical music "messed about with", but this guy is a genius. The whole album is the music of Debussy but done on synthesizer - magic!
