This weekend has been a rather rough one. I know my impending schedule of 21 credits will be full of work; yet, I do not have any idea what needs to be done yet. Tomorrow, I find out if I will survive this semester or not. The anticipation is quite agonizing. I actually looked in HuskyCT to see if I could access any of my syllabuses.
In the mean time, I have just been listening to a few pieces that captured my attention over the past few months:
Edward MacDowell - First Modern Suite Op. 10 (First movement is below)
Edward MacDowell - Second Modern Suite Op. 14 (First movement below)
Sir Edward Elgar - "Enigma" Variations (all movements below split between 3 different videos)
I am on a roll with Edwards. All of these pieces are very beautiful and powerful. MacDowell remains my favorite Romantic piano composer (though Brahms isn't that far away). I'm still looking for my favorite orchestral composer as I like so many. Still much repertoire to listen to before I make my decision (or do I have to make one?)
I am looking forward to this upcoming semester hopefully so I can find some very great pieces of music that I've never heard before.
Enjoy the music!
