It's the unctuous religious sliminess of Herring I find offensive.

Well, here. Here's a special holiday dedication, just for you.

That piece is far too 'American Folksy'. It will surely offend most
liberals!

There are many themes in Russian music that are based upon folk
tunes, are nationalistic and are used by numerous composers. There
are also tonal similarities in the pieces you brought up.

Pictures at an Exhibition was written by its composer for solo
piano. As such, it is among the most difficult to learn and play
collection of piano pieces in the repertoire. I don't much like the
Ravel orchestration. I find it heavy and overwrought.

The best recordings of the piece *as written* date back a few
decades to performances in the old Soviet Union by Russian piano
superstars. This modern young fellow ain't bad, though:

In fact, he's very good, and he is playing the piece *as written* by
Mussorgsky. It's best not to listen to solo piano music on super
high-tech speakers. They tend to be without...warmth.

I am not cultured enough to prefer Pictures at an Exhibition "as
written". I have always thought the piano version is nice, but
different, sort of "Pictures at an Exhibition Unplugged". Since the
music was written to be played at his friends art exhibit, it would
have been difficult to get an orchestra in the small gallery, so
Mussorgsky didn't have that option. If you look at Mussorgsky other
compositions, I would guess he would have enjoyed the heavy and
overwrought Orchestrated version. If there EVER was a piece of music
that was HEAVY and OVERWROUGHT, it is Night on Bald Mountain.

I have enjoyed Night on Bald Music since I heard it in Disney's
Fantasia, and that when I thought it was written by Disney.

I am just a boorish uncouth type of guy who knows what he likes, and
would never know what music to listen to on high tech speakers and
what music to listen to on old regular speakers. On top of that you
need to about what decade the music was recorded,

I had no idea how difficult it is to be cultured and refined.

Life isn't easy for the likes of you.

That piece of music you like from the famous Disney cartoon is not Night
on Bald Mountain. It is Night on Bare Mountain.
Damn, I learn something new all the time. If you had not pointed that
out, I would never have known. You may want to contact Disney about
this because they are selling the Walt Disney's Fantasia: Remastered
Original Soundtrack official but they included A Night on Bald Mountain
by Mussorgsky, instead of Night on Bare Mountain. They must not be a
flaunt in translating Russian as you are. Night on Bald Mountain and
Night on Bare Mountain are the exact same music, it is a difference in
translation of the Russian.

"I had no idea how difficult it is to be cultured and refined." For
someone like you, it probably is.
I know, I try to enjoy life and not worry trying to be pompous or if I
am listening to music on the correct speakers. Jeez, you really are
funny. I would enjoy meeting you in real life, I would lay 10 to 1 odds
that you are real mousy reserved type of guy. I have never known anyone
who tries so desperately seeks approval.

Reggie, I think the sentence above which begins, "I would enjoy..." is
false.

No, I hate to admit it, but I do slow down to watch a train wreck.

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. ;)

Don't you clowns know anything?

Both were ripped off Bach when he was asked to compose a salutory
orchestral piece to celebrate the begining of the American Revolution
- he did and it was called the "1712 Overture".

Listen and learn.

Is that you on the Zildjians?- Hide quoted text -

How do you know they were Zildjians? There are several other good (and
some better) makers. Google should have come up with more than one.

I like it.

Now, getting back to earth he

For years I've enjoyed a hobby of creating musical performances using "midi"
technology.
Midi is not an audio recording like an MP3 or WAV file. * It's simply a set
of digital instructions or "events"
in a file that instructs a midi device or sound engine to play a certain
note, with a certain velocity, with a certain "voice", etc. * I've mentioned
before that midi backing tracks are often used in live band performances,
establishing a concert's musical performance sets. * Enough about that.
