I think it's time I did some more flexi-arrangements

So I'm listening to various 50s/60s/70s theme tunes/pieces of music that might translate well to flexible ensemble.

Currently listening to 'At the Sign of the Swinging Cymbal' by Brian Fahey and his Orchestra. Gold star to the forumite who can tell me what programme that music is used for.

Moved onto the theme from 'Man in a Suitcase' (or TFI Friday, depending on your era). Think it's got too much brass for a flexi-work, though

I'm listening to Biffy Clyro. I find that I rarely listen to 'classical' music but when i do i'll have a big binge and spend about half a day doing so!

Just finished listening to Prokofiev's classical symphony, now listening to the Foo Fighters.

I loved the foo fighters but dont listen to them anymore. Nice contrast!

I am listening to the Temper Trap and One republic

Haven't listened to either in ages, but I reckon nirvana have the edge. Maybe it's something to do with dying young being a good career move.

Glad you like it!

I've moved on to the theme from 'Department S'. After having listened to the theme from 'The Champions'. The latter might work for flexi-ensemble, not sure the first is well known enough...

Have you tried things like last.fm? You can then tailor a 'radio' station to suit your personal tastes.

Yes. Dave Grohl is a legend. Then there's the Queens of the Stone Age.

Actually the Prokofiev Classical Symphony is rather good too.

Brahms Clarinet Quintet Op 115.

I've cobbled together a pretty HUGE playlist of clarinet music on Spotify.Enough to keep me going for weeks

It won't harm to widen my listening horizons.... And it's always good for inspiration.

A CD of Sibelius's Third and Seventh Symphonies (Sir Colin Davis and the LSO). I love the trombone part in the Seventh! Have been out taking photos of the wintry landscape so Sibelius seems quite appropriate.
