Hello, I recently signed up to this service after it being recommended
by someone who used it, and I have a few questions that I was wondering
if some experienced listeners could answer. Judging by the title, you
have probably guessed that I am a new listener to classical music. I have
been brought up listening to it, but just recently have a really started
listening whole-heartedly, and am starting to really enjoy what I am
listening to. My question is this - where do I begin? What I really enjoy
is a choral piece with rich accompanying music. Perhaps something you hear
in a movie. An example that I can think of off the top of my head is the
music of the final sence in the movie The Boondock Saints, when they are
in the church. Also, I am not as much of a fan of pieces that portray
"happiness", so to speak, but rather - one that portrays other emotion.
For example, I believe it is called Adagio for Strings, by Samuel Barber,
is one that really appeals to me. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas
on which vocal and choral peices (but not limited to) I should to look
into, or which composer sounds to fit my taste.
Thank-you,
Julien.
