#ClassicsaDay #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 Week 2
February is Black History Month, and a great opportunity to explore the music of black composers.
World War II - Lots of Movies, Lots of Music
There are lots of movies with World War II as a subject. And a lot of great music for those movies.
#Classicsaday #BlackHistoryMonth 2022 Week 1
February is Black History Month, and a great opportunity to explore the music of black composers. That's what the Classics a Day team felt, anyway.
More than Spaghetti Westerns - The Legacy of Ennio Morricone
Ennio Morricone’s legacy as film composer covers a lot more than spaghetti westerns.
Lyrita completes Jones symphonic cycle
The recording quality -- as always -- is quite good. And the material, even better.
Lena Neudauer performs Rosetti with fire and elegance
These are fine compositions given engaging performances. Two great reasons for me to recommend this release.
#ClassicsaDay #Classical1922 Week 4
It turns out that 1922 was quite an eventful year! Here are my posts for the fourth and final week of #ClassicsaDay #Classical1922.
Arthur Farwell - Listen, then Judge
Is Farwell guilty of a concept that arouse seventy years after his death? I don't think so. That's not what I heard in this music. My recommendation -- listen first, then decide. But do listen.
The 1960s and the Evolution of Film Music
Movies were changing in the 1960s, and so was the music.
