What Jazz Clubs In Nyc Or Long Island Are 18 And Up? How Can We Get The Younger Generation To Like Classical Music?
Dec 152009

Hi all,
I live Classical music and I have a serious liking and strong affection for Handel’s ‘Messiah’ and ‘Israel in Egypt’. Now I want to venture out to other religious choral pieces but I am a bit hesitant as I do not know if there are any other religious stuff out there which live up to these two. Could anyone suggest any piece or pieces which I could try and not regret.
Thank you

    Definitely must try Bach’s Passion of St Matthew ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuevG8Tgt… ), Mozart’s Great Mass ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuFA3Dmgl… )… and the requiems by Mozart ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swkT07TP-… ), Faure ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFAx5Squ5… ), and Verdi ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lzw4CiYF… ).
    Not to mention the many ‘prayers’ in various operas… like ‘La virgine degli angeli’ from Verdi’s La forza del destino ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXwzmbbLF… ) or the preghiera from Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYorKuutG… ), and many more.
