  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ahhh i like that Mozart piece as well. U should listen to his Requiem. At the very least the Kyrie,Dies Irae,Rex Tremendae and Lacrimosa parts. Theres simply nothing like it. Ive also recently discovered Tchaikovsky. His dance of the swans from swan lake is one of the best things u will ever hear as well as his violin piece Valse Sentimentale

Yeah, the duet is really nice. =) I'll check them out today, thanks; listening to classical music can be really soothing, especially when doing computer work.

Btw, if anyone has other recommendations for classical songs to listen to, please let me know.

Tchaikovsky is my all time favorite, I love his music!
Not that big a fan of him. I think my all time favorite is Georg P. Telemann.


He just edged out his life-long friend J.S. Bach.

Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Wagner, Verdi, Mozart... where to even begin? It's such a broad and extensive history that it's difficult to even have favourites

I love a lot of old religious operatic or choral music, but I listen to so many different composers.






Allegri - Miserere mei, Deus

Mozart - Requiem

Giuseppe Verdi - La Traviata - Si ridesta in ciel l'aurora

La Traviata - Atto III, Scena e Duetto : "Signora..." - "Parigi, o cara, noi lasceremo" (36)

La Traviata - Atto Terzo: Scena ed Aria, "Teneste la promessa... - Addio del passato" (34)

I could go on but there are too many

Btw, if anyone has other recommendations for classical songs to listen to, please let me know.

Plaisir d'amour (The Pleasure of Love) is a very pretty French song from around the time of Mozart. It was written by an obscure composer, Jean-Paul Martini. If the melody sounds familiar, it was the basis for Elvis's Can't Help Falling In Love. Nicely sung here by the German tenor, Fritz Wunderlich.

Love Handel's Messiah. Listening to I know that my redeemer liveth right now. Like Baroque and bought the complete JS Bach collection some time ago. Also like Beethovens 6th and 9th symphonies.

Messiah is incredible. It's a great display of vocal range and includes so many different sorts. It's also one of the few pieces that traditionally incorporates young male choristers, and you just can't beat or replicate that sound any other way

The absolute greatest JOY of my young life was playing in an award winning HS band and orchestra that blew me away with magnificent french horns and trumpets on pieces like this one, while I was sitting if front of them, the whole orchestra and/or band just swelling behind me, the vibs blowing through me like some kind of heavenly army:
