Tunes Tuesday - Rondo Veneziano

I love the CD "Venice In Peril" - because the brilliant composer Rondo Veneziano was so beautifully able to combine classic composition with modern tones.

This is one of my favourites - Movement #5 - Sinfonia per un addio.

Please enjoy.

Symphonic Sunday - Sergey Lazarev

So........I am *really* getting into Eurovision Song Contest this year.

Last year I HATED the Russian entry, AND he turned out to be a huge homophobe.
This years entry I can't find any homophobic dirt on AND it's a really catchy tune.

Enjoy!

This young man is A-MAY-ZING!!!

Yes he sings in his normal male tone - but his falsetto is almost a true soprano - and he nails it in this song.

The models featured in this video were Eva Herzigova, Linda Evangelista, Nadja Auermann, Emma Sjöberg, Estelle Hallyday, Shana Zadrick, Tyra Banks, Beverly Peele, and Emma Balfour. Actresses Julie Newmar and Rossy de Palma, and the performance artists Joey Arias and Lypsinka are also featured.

Mix Tape Time ...

Some clips I was randomly watching today ....  (PS I love Kylie and she looks HAWT in Taio's vid, and I love the song in spite of the cruel overuse of autotune)...

Music Monday ... Linda Ronstad ...

This is one movement from the amazing album "The Prayer Cycle". 
If you like non-traditional choral and orchestral music, get this album.  It is beyond description.

This movement - "Benediction" - features Linda Ronstad, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & The American Boychoir Featuring Devin Provenzano

Music

• "The Prayer Cycle - A Choral Symphony in 9 Movements: Movement VIII - Benediction (Voice)" by English Chamber Orchestra (Google Play • iTunes)

The first time I heard this it brought tears to my eyes.

Symphonic Sunday ... C+C Music Factory ...

Bit of nostalgia from when I used to shake my ass at the clubs....

Symphonic Sunday ... When You Believe ...

I choose to remember Whitney Houston as she was here.

Symphonic Sunday ... Ms Tina Arena ...

Reset All ........ Live ....

Musical Interlude ... My First Disco Tune ....

"Mighty Real" by Sylvester is the earliest memory I have of disco.
He seemed like something otherworldly to me as a 6 yr old.  And I don't mind admitting that once I saw that turban I wanted it SO bad that I started wrapping tea towels around my head. :)  If that wasn't a clear indication to my mother then she was obviously looking in another direction.

Enjoy.  For you youngens who weren't born, boy did YOU miss out :)
