Topic awaiting preservation: Again (Page 1 of 1)

i didnt get it... where in "favorite instrumental music" did you see implied "favorite instrument"?

ya dumb fools, I meant it in the likes of Schubert's "Serenade" or John Barry's "Midnight Cowboy"


One or two of your all time favorite non-vocal musics

ahahahahaha...

how about john cage's "4 minutes 33 seconds" composition?

bastards.

An old No Means No song. Which is probably a band no one here has heard of, but should look into. Some others, if you care, are One Line Drawing, Boxcar Racer, Fugazi, NOFX. That about covers all the varieties of powerful music. True modern music of the heart. Blah.

Oh non-vocal, well in that case, haydens tocatta and fouge (no idea how thats spelled) and all of mozarts work on violin...

See, that's what I thought, and I was really confused when people started talking about instruments.

If we're going for all-time favorite, I would have to go classical. Bach, to be specific, especially his organ works.

"Karn Evil No. 9 (First Impressions)", "Tocatta" (yes a cover), and "Tarkus" by Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Robert Palmer are among my favorite instrumentals, nevermind they're all by the same group. "Pirates" is a good one too. "Hoedown" rocked.

Late 70's progressive rock, what can I say? I'm sure there are more, but I just can't think of anything outside of ELP at the moment... hehe. The Piano Solo on the Pure Moods CD was pretty good too.

Grrrr...this is one of the things I HATE!

People don't count the voice as an instrument. Well here's some news for you, it is the original instrument. The original reason for building other instruments was to try to simulate it or accompany it, in fact that's the specific reason for the violin and viola. So any music involving it is instrumental, so instrumental music is not non-vocal. I count instrumental music to be music which is focused upon a single instrument type, it can bne accompanied, but it is the main focus.

Arthemis: You didn't need to start a new thread to do this. You could have continued in your old thread saying 'No...that's not what I meant. Valid points though, but the original intention was blah, blah, blah...'

I second skaarjj....

'Moonlight sonata' by beethoven...but from a vidoe game, not the original...best music to a game I've ever played...

Anything from Herbie Hancock...

There are so many that I enjoy.

Cannon in D
1812 Overature
Night on Bald Mountain

And so many things by John Williams. He's probably my favorite composer.

Does Wipeout from the Safaris count?
cuz they do talk at one point
is that a disqualifier?

Anything by Acoustic Alchemy does it for me when I want to listen to purely instrumental music.

no, skaarj you prick, wouldnt work, most wouldnt go there again, and/or everyone reads the first post, not everyone reads them all

if there is a choir in the music, it's okay, bring it on. "dance of mistery and intrigue" is even one of my favorites

the voice is not an instrument
i sing too, if you must know

singing involves words, words involve added complexity, complexity involve deviation from the simplicity of what is music

so plz, don't say voice is an instrument
it can be, yes.
but it is oh far so superior

well see our voice is made of chords that expand and contract whith air going through them much like woodwind instruments and there chambers in which we blow through, now weather or not our voice's are organic shouldn't matter because it follows the same concept as other instruments, so I third skaarjj

before you third someone, insider.... you have to be familiarized with the concept of "thought"

it seems you have failed to meet that requirement, i'm sorry

Arthemis, please tell me how I wasn't familiarized with the concept of "thought."
