Beautiful music


Recommended Posts

Here are some of my recommendations for what I'd consider beautiful music. It's the kind of music that relaxes you and lets your imagination flourish. You know, the kind you'd listen to after a long day of work or school. If you have any recommendations yourself, please post them. The kind of music I'm talking about almost always lacks vocals of any kind.

Anyway, here are my recommendations:

Song: ....

Composer: Yiruma

Song: A Rainy Day In Vancouver from "Keinohrhasen"

Composer: Dirk Reichardt

Song: Always Summer from "Brideshead Revisited"

Composer: Adrian Johnston

Song: All That Remains

Composer: Josh Kramer

I've been a huge Faithless fan for a long time. Anytime I need a pick me up, or need to relax, I listen to some of their more soft songs. It takes me back to when I was a teenager, and life was simpler. :)

Also, good thread! I love the first song you have posted, and the last one, 'All That Remains.'

Roygbiv by Boards of Canada

In contemporary "serious" music:

De Profundis by Arvo P?rt:

In XXth century pop:

A Day In The Life by John Lennon

In XXth century classical:

Concerto in G for Piano, 2nd Movement by Maurice Ravel

Continuing my last post (because of max number of media links):

In XIXth century classical:

Nocturne Op 48 No 1 in C minor by Fr?d?ric Chopin

In XVIIIth century classical:

Requiem - Lacrimosa by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1BueycmmoQ

In XVIth century classical:

Missa Papae Marcelli - Kyrie by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina

Top of my beautiful music tree

Soundtrack to a film that looks and is acted well as these tracks sound, The Mission

second link is a combo of tracks from the sound track

also some tracks from NIN's Ghosts series

The whole album is worth exploring as there is a wide range of different sounds, one thing i would also add is that there is art work acompany each track to help your visualise the music, it's well worth getting this also,

first vol is free for download,

    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
