- Latest Review: My Personal Desert Storm by Marcus Johnson
A few others to try would be Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, the piano concertos by Rachmaninov, and really pretty much anything by Tchaikovsky. I hope these help you out and you end up liking them! If you need any more added to this, just let me know and I will do my best to point you in the right direction. Enjoy!

If you enjoy movies, listening to the sound tracks is also an enjoyable way to step into classical music. Often times, the soundtracks are really inspiring and allow you to visualize your favorite movie in your head. There are some great modern classical composers out there just waiting to be discovered.

I enjoy Bach. Studies indicate that his music is mentally stimulating.

Harpymichele wrote:As a harpist, I run across some excellent classical music which is also a bit dark. Try "Symphony No. 8 in B Minor" by Franz Schubert. You might also like "Queen of the Night Aria" by Mozart. That particular song is from The Magic Flute. Lastly, try listening to Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King." I find it is wildly popular with students of mine who are just becoming familiar with classical music.

Ride of the Valkyrie, Richard Wagner
Toccata And Fugue, Johann Sebastian Bach
This few was popular at it's times, e.g. for horror and action movies.

I do have several classical music channels set up on Pandora, actually It really has turned out to be a great way to find new instrumental music! The only problem is, I seem to have trouble remembering the pieces that I've only heard once or twice... Would you happen to have any tips for remembering instrumentals? It's difficult when there aren't any lyrics to Google when you forget the name of a piece lolbraver wrote:You can use a site like Pandora and just create a classical music channel. That'll give you a lot of exposure to a variety of pieces.

Hah, true, that is difficult! I can't say that I'm any good at it either, but if you go under station details on your Pandora channel, you can see a list of anything that you've given a thumbs up or down. Hopefully that helps!AutumnPhillips wrote:I do have several classical music channels set up on Pandora, actually It really has turned out to be a great way to find new instrumental music!
