einahpetsI love classical/instrumental/opera/choir music (well mostly baroque, but that's only if we're getting into specifics) and I listen to it a fair amount. Ironically, I'm not one who memorizes everything written by a composer. Heck, sometimes I'll listen to a piece more than once and not even know the composer or even the song title.
Anywoo, I'm sure I'm not alone. If you're up for it, please link me some of your favorite pieces (any era/genre ... medieval, renaissance, baroque, opera, classical, romantic, 20th century, contemporary, movie scores, etc.)
I actually first heard this melody in a 1960s cover of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, and I loved the melody so I did a search and found the source.
Love music composed for castrati. It's one of my weird quirks.
Rameau is the shit. He's like the best example of overly embellished baroque music. While I do enjoy a lot of his ballet-operas, I picked this piece because I love the demonstration of baroque ballet.
This is just awesome, the haunting echo in the caves is insane.
Another melody I first heard in a pop song, well a Japanese pop song by my favorite voice actress. The night I heard the song played on the classical radio station I freaked out in excitement, but never got the title. Then when I was a freshman in college I took a music appreciation course and I finally got the title to my mystery song!

OH! I have a favorite classical radio station as well. It's now a public station/listener funded, but it's a NYC staple and has been on air since 1939! WQXR WQXR (http://www.wqxr.org)
