Good Classical Music, that I Like.

Classical music is often associated with past and tradition. Many listen to it for this attribute, to show their admiration for the past. Others consider classical music to be boring and listen to no less boring pop, that near forgoes music for physical attraction of singers instead. Jewish song Leena from Palestina satirizes that perfectly.

While a lot of classical music is indeed boring, far not all of it is. There are some truly epic songs that can beat the score of Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.

One of my favorites is Dance Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens. Dance of Death is cunning and eerie. It begins slow as if death stalks someone and then suddenly erupts in a fast-paced action. Parts of it sounds like it's played on bones. 

In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edward Grieg takes epicenes on the new level. It's both accessible and easy to listen but no less epic than Lord of the Rings soundtrack. It does starts slow but then develops very fast.

Edward Grieg even made a song for trolls, fantasy rather than internet kind, however it can be applied to internet ones as well. Its fast, melodic and very catchy even. It's called March of the Trolls

Edward Grieg also has some more calm songs that nonetheless has depth to them, for example Lyric Piece No 47 - Melodie. It sounds mysterious and eerie despite such unimaginative name. It's very thoughts provoking.

Now the big names. J.S.Bach has many songs, and many are plain but not the window shattering Toccata and Fugue. This song beats whatever Davy Jones was playing in second Pirates of the Caribbean by a mile.

Then there is also peaceful and airy dreamy and mysterious Concerto de Aranjuez. This rather slow song can make you will good and dreamy and think deep thoughts.

Charles Gounod's Ave Maria - this is a very warm and calm song, that can make you feel loved and cared for. It's also mysterious and thoughts provoking. Here are two versions, a piano one above and violin one below.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra - This song references Nietzsche's famous book and is not less mysterious and deep. It's perfect for a grand opening of an occult ceremony to either redeem or plunge the world into chaos.

Los Toreadores - fast and brisque song, that evoke memories of Spanish flamenco and corrida, that is referenced by this song. 

Hungarian Rhapsody - this song takes eeriness and mystery to a new level. It has sounds that you hardly hear in any other songs, either classical or otherwise. Not even futuristic techno has them. Here is plano version, but full orchestra one is better.

Tomaso Albinoni - Adagio. This song encourages you to think eternal questions, such as philosophy and metaphysics. It's both airy like Concerto de Aranjuez and mysterious. 

Zamfir's Ave Maria - This is a different take on Ave Maria. This song uses a rather rare pan flute that gives it a very unique and mysterious sound. There is just nothing like it.

There are more good classical pieces, but I will end this article on just these. Search deeper and you find many good songs.
