Dum Transisset Sabbatum

dancing sounds good on a cold day with a bright fire

i'd have to go look up any links, and when i go look i get sidetracked like just now - having been stolen by some ave marias and freddy mercury :eek:

i learn more about classical music here on this forum than i ever knew - and i still only know what moves me when i hear it.

Okay.

I'm just glad you have ears, now.

You're not a purist, right? So you can listen to adulterated modern things?
 
In defense of opera, I will admit that it is disturbing, but also such a lovely way to marvel at what humans can do with only their lungs and throats. And by the end, you have the sense that we could accomplish anything if we spent more of our time communicating in beautiful shrieks and powerful rumbles. That's fun.

Beat me, beat me! Mozart does BDSM (the video is poor quality, but Kathleen Battle makes me shiver).

I'm sorry to cut in! Don't worry - I will be dragged to hell by a statue forthwith.
 
Nothing short of amazing.

Remember Rachel?
incredible - i could watch his hands without even listening to the music and my mind might still conjure it

don't think so :confused:

Jesus-making-a-ham-sandwich, do I ever love Freddie. You know how to get to me, sweet buttertart. BARTHELONA! :heart:


And this is Rachel
. She's a star.

But opera is the music AND the stage.

We get that now, but there was no such thing then. It was a great new invention.

And... how could you think you were intruding? Especially in a thread of mine... like... c'mon. Let's just stop talking like that.

And I totally agree with the basis of your post. But honestly, this isn't the 1970's anymore. That means that rainbows and unicorns are off the table. The best we're likely to get is a pearl from an oyster...

And that's not so terrible, really.

That was very cool.

But I'm afraid you've just turned an early music thread into a Queen thread.

Do you feel guilty about that? It's a serious board offense to divert a thread. Nobody gets banned, but they might be scorned.

Which is... actually... worse.

No, because he hand-wound his guitar pickups.

I mean, he actually wound them by hand himself.

His guitar sound cannot be replicated.

ah! i know he and his dad built his guitar, so thought it the combination of that with the other elements (which could be reproduced)... has he kept the same guitar all these years? what happens if it breaks? :eek:

and,

this... just because it's a fabulous intro especially and lovely lyrics but the intro gets me every time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7duPNQCp-w4
 

It makes me so happy (and if I'm honest, profoundly envious) to watch hands move like that.

No, not so terrible at all. And that it's only sometimes is the best part, really. I would thank god for that.

But sometimes I will still wish for a unicorn.

It's okay, though. We're closer to the finish than we thought.

oh noes, don't be scornin' me :eek:

:cool:

Oooh, I love being scorned! I will take butters' helping of scorn, please!
 
And then he went and got his Ph.D in astrophysics. I love that guy.
