After listening to Tacobell's music, it made me think about another
favorite selection of mine.

Turn the music up loud and get ready to be taken over by the force.

Even if you don't like classical music, you will like this. Sort of
like the 1812 Overture. Make sure you listen to the slow repetitive
build up to the crescendo.


This song has particularly memories for me because I had a college gf
who liked to put on Pictures at an Exhibition when she would want to
"cuddle". She would insist we make it last to at least the Great
Gates of Kiev.

I am sure this falls into the Too Much Information category, but I
thought some of you may want to try this out.


Thanks! I had never heard it or of it. I don't quite understand
the relationship of the Gates of Kiev orchestration and that of the
1812 Overture. They share many of the same passages. Who copied who?

The composers are both Russian, they are just very intense.


PS - 1812 Overture was Tchaikovsky's tribute to the Russians defeating
Napoleon. Mussorgsky wrote "Pictures at an Exhibition" as a tribute to
a friends art collection, and was written well after the 1812. But I
only compared the two because of the intensity and great crescendo.
