I was listening to both of those yesterday! Does anyone elso think that towards the end of the American National Anthem it starts to sound like 'We wish you a merry Christmas'?

Scriabin's Etudes

I didn't notice, but I'll listen carefully next time I hear it!

This was last night, but I so rarely listen to anything these days...

Mutual Friend - Divine Comedy

sent to me by someone on the forum ages ago...

Wonderful group!

I'm not listening to music at the moment, I have the Radio 5 cricket commentary on...

I am listening to my new friend singing "Lord God of Israel" with perfect phrasing and superb breath control.

Bach WTC.

Prom - Brahms Violin Concerto.

Philip Pickett, Alchemist

Bit more listening research : Weber Clarinet concerto no. 1...

Albinoni's Trumpet Concerto - third movement (on youtube - thanks for the link HenryJ!!!)

Chopin's Grande valse brillante (the E major one) performed by Peter Katin

A song from choir - The Lark in the Clear Air ....





... in my head

Its a great song though.

JS Bach's Toccata & Fugue in d minor

unchained melody.

Yes, I love it, it's my favourite of the ones we're singing. The others are good too though. Wayfaring Stranger, Weep you no more sad fountains, Friendship (by Cole Porter) and one in both English and Spanish () called Oye la Musica. After our rehearsal this morning they've all been stuck in my head.

Kaiser Chiefs at the Reading Festival on BBC3.

Blimey, Aeolienne - you keep this thread going single-handed practically!
You must listen to a lot of music!

Mahler 1 - played by the LSO/

Its always good to hear a recording fo what you will be performing in the near future. Its the 2nd time I will be performing this symphony.

The hum of the air conditioning and the purr of hard drives.

Martha & The Muffins, Echo Beach

Wow. THAT takes me back. A great song.

My brother practising his Grade 4 piano pieces.

My children complaining about going to bed (upstairs with their Dad)

It's arly but they were up late last night and are soo over tired!!

John and I recorded some Purcell duets this morning and now we are listening to the results as we enjoy a glass of beer. Beer and Purcell go well together.

Not Henry but JonhBH. The Purcell sounds good, even if we say so ourselves and it is made even better by the cooking smells coming form Henry's kitchen.

My parents yapping away to their friends (who were invited for lunch but are still here!) I said I was tired so went to "bed" There are only so many times someone can tell me how much I've grown!!! (I'm tiny for 17!) So I left my brothers and sister downstairs to deal with them

Yeah when my mum has a visitor I often leave them and go watch a film or similar. My mum can spend literally hours upon hours talking to friends, all very old of course!

My dad is not so bad becuase his guests don't stay for many hours and he has fewer visiotrs. When he does we often all go to a pub for lunch which I can't complain about.

Also I am 18 and just 5 foot 8. I want to grow so I am large enough to wear my dads old unwanted clothing such as his suits.

Nothing wrong with being 5 foot 8...from someone who knows...

Put them through a hot wash so they shrink?

Listening to a recording HenryJ and I made yesterday while recovering from a hangover.

A youtube video of Andreas Scholl singing Che Faro...

It was ok though. We work well together, even if you are a bit of a bossy so and so!

Just do as you're told Henry and I wont need to be bossy at all!

I'm listening to the Leeds piano competition, thanks to a link in viva piano ('Leeds')

Listening to my daughter throwing a real prima donna tantrum 'cos dad can't do a French Plait. Anyone who can help would be a lifesaver. She "absolutely must" have her hair like this for school next Monday...

Practising on her Barbie doll is too fiddly for my fingers..

Please anyone....?

Does this help? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdj1_IzyKWs

I used to do it the same as this, starting with hair brushed back as if for a pony-tail, dividing the top layer into three and starting to plait, bringing in hair from lower down as the plait progresses.

Thank you very much, Crotchetymum.

I would never have thought of looking on youtube. Just shown the video to daughter..."See dad...it's really very easy!"

I have six days to practice...

I don't think he would so happy if I put his £400 crombie suits in the wash! they would be ruined as they have to be dry cleaned. He says I can have 5 of the 6 if I were large enough, its less to do with height as he is just 2 inches taller but rather the waist, his is quite a bit larger than mine!

I'm listening to a recording of me playing clarinet in the Cambridge Holiday Orchestra: Bernstein - Overture to Candide (my mum made a recording in the concert on her new phone, and we put it on the computer).

Highway to ###### on Planet Rock.

I'm amazed, is that classed as a naughty word?

Ok, I was listening to 'Highway to 'that supposedly hot place down below us where all the wicked people go' by AC/DC - doesn't scan quite so well...

Shostakovich Symphony no. 8 - Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

Eat more pies. Simples!

------on topic------

I'm listening to Counting Crows - Einstein on the Beach

I am now listening to chinese by lilly allen.

My two brothers having a blazing argument about..welll...I'm not sure! Something to do with the lawn and a plant pot and some sticks but they're mostly just yelling incoherently at eachother. My sister is whining about being bored so we made cookies...and now the boys have just devoured them! PANDEMONIUM!!!!

My conscience...telling me to stop playing on the pooter and GO AND GET ON WITH SOME WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

Weber - Clarinet Concertino. (youtube)

Piers Adams / Howard Beach - Recorder Bravura
