There were two or three songs around that time that exploited the same effect.

As a non Spanish speaker I didn't know what he was saying, I just wanted him to hurry up and start the damn song!Conde Lucanor wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2017 4:02 am Today, it would seem like a parody, but I remember this as a kid, and they took it damn serious.

Lovely. I love those videos that show the score. Really interesting to read it at the same time as listening, especially counterpoint.Conde Lucanor wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2017 3:41 am No one compares to Bach, but this overture from Handel is for me one of the most beautiful ever, specially the counterpoint after the first minute.

I went directly to my favorite tunes. No disappointment:Dubious wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2017 4:58 am Colin Davis recording of The Messiah is one of the best, no question but there are also the original instrument type performances; this one I find exceptional.

I also love this way of "viewing" music:

It must have been one incredible experience to have been among the audience not only for the music but also in being surrounded by the frozen music of cathedral architecture each in harmony with the other.Conde Lucanor wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 4:11 amI went directly to my favorite tunes.
