001|Things that really… are awesome classical music!

Today mark the first entry in this new weekly (I hope) series of posts titled “Things That Really…”. Here will be usually a list of things I think it’s important to share with you all. So let’s get things started shall we?

Classical Music that Rocks My World

This pieces of music and I are one. If I listen to them 27 times in a row, it’s still not enough.

#3|Dvorak - New World Symphony - 2nd Movement

This is epic! The whole New World Symphony is. Dvorak shows in a piece of music what must have been like discovering a complete new land! I’m madly in love with this!

#2|Bach - Cello Suite No. 1 - Prelude

Holy freaking higher deity! Can you listen to this and not tell me it’s awesome! Listen to those dynamics, to those melodies, to the sound of the cello! I float when I listen to this and go higher than a helium ballon!!

#1|Johann Pachelbel - Canon in D

This is popular western music at it’s best. Pachelbel is the original one hit wonder. He wrote a song almost four centuries ago and we are still playing it in our weddings. Even better, his chord progression is the base of modern pop music! Really! I kid you not!

I got into a conservatory only to learn how to play this on the violin (once I did, I quit the damn thing!), I met the love of my life listening to this in a bridge in Prague, she asked me to marry her listening to this in London, my favorite brazilian band Karnak, use it as a base of their biggest hit Juvenar… To summarize, this song is imprinted in me… and you and in all the western world…. Johann, you develish man!
