13 for boxer au <3 wanna commit to the vibe hehe
13. What music did I listen to while writing/what do I recommend people listen to
Okay here’s the thing. I made a playlist for rawnsyf a long time ago. That became basically the only thing I listen to anymore? So more likely than not I listened to that. But I also do a lot of my writing at work which means that I’m listening to bad workout remixes of pop songs that were big in like 2019 😭 do NOT recommend listening to that it’s annoying as shit. But I should make a boxer au playlist. The universe is big enough to deserve that 😂
For now here is the rawnsyf playlist which absolutely has songs on it that have informed boxer au scenes, but keep your eyes peeled for a boxer au playlist sometime soon now that the idea has entered my brain!
#I love music so much that it’s kind of embarrassing that I don’t have a real answer for this one#basically a lot of sapphic love songs?#I also have been fixating on a couple key classical pieces that have certainly been played during the writing of this#namely: Rachmaninoff piano concerto 2 movement 2#the swan and aquarium from carnival of animals#which tangentially also included the prelude to beauty and the beast#swan lake theme#Mendelssohn Italian symphony#and obviously Mozart requiem#okay I’m done being a classical nerd those would probably be weird to listen to while reading it stick with the lesbian music#asks#boxer au#stillmumu#music

This whole symphony is ridiculously delightful, but the 1st movement is my favorite and great fun to play.

On this antique postcard we see the German Composer, Pianist and Organist Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) and the birthplace in Hamburg. In his short life he compose many hundreds of works and some of this are in the repertoire until today in the concert halls all over the world.

Saint-Saëns 3

i collected your music recs into a playlist (it's my sasha's classical music bangers playlist now) and i am actually currently listening to it again because i really like most of them :) i am once again asking for recommendations but this time without the 10 minute limit. go hogwild my friend
hi jack i love you im so glad you enjoy my recommendations so far. sorry i didn't answer this earlier last weekend i had migraines. this is my second try at writing this the first time it started with a long explanation about symphonic form and then my tab crashed and it got deleted which i'm taking as a sign to just shut up and get onto listing pieces instead of yapping on
anyway here are some more pieces i really like
dvorak symphonies no. 8 and no. 9 "from the new world". 9 is my favorite symphony ever but 8 is also probably in my top 5
beethoven symphonies. just all of them. 8 is my favorite but they're all good
haydn symphonies no. 100 "military", no. 103 "drumroll", and no. 4 "london"
william grant still symphonies no. 1 "afro-american" and no. 2 "song of a new race". grant still is a really wonderful black american composer from the early 20th century i love his work
saint-saens symphony no. 3 "organ". listen to this with good headphones or ideally in person to have your tits blasted off with that organ solo it's so fucking good
schumann symphonies no. 3 and 4. i used to be a schumann hater but tbh these ones really grew on me
schubert symphony no. 3. his other ones are good too but this is my favorite
tchaikovsky symphony no. 1 "winter daydreams". this is my fave tchaikovsky symphony but i think most people like his later ones better
amy beach symphony in e minor "gaelic"
mendelssohn symphony no. 4 "italian"
this is a lot and it's only symphonies this isn't even all the symphonies i thought of just some of my favorites and a few lesser known/underated ones thrown in there too for fun. like comment and subscribe if you want even more titles of classical music pieces thrown at you with reckless abandon
#i can even do other genres next time like concerti or suites#mm ballet suites. mm concerti#sasha answers#ask meme#sleepover saturday#<- CLOSE ENOUGH#domesticatedanimals#also note that i would not call these all bangers...some of the individual movements definitely are#but symphonies are multimovement works and contrast is important even when the work doesn't strictly follow conventional symphony form#but. i think all the ones i listed do. i love the conventional symphony form die mad about it idk#ive been studying this shit for five solid years at this point so sorry for all of this

Monday, 11-25-24, 8am Pacific
'Mornin', folks...Mr. Baggins making a slow re-entry this morning, here with Morning Coffee Music. I enjoyed hearing this one again when I posted it yesterday, I thought we might give it a replay this morning! Once again, here is The Ensemble PAN, with their 1991 release "The Island of St. Hylarion", amazing music from the 1300s, in its entirety.
Now let's check in with our harpsichordist Malcolm Hamilton, and hear Preludes and Fugues numbers 10, 11, and 12, from Book 1 of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier. Recorded in 1964, a six LP set on Everest Records.

youtube
Now let's hear Bach's Oboe Concerti, these are in A Major, G minor, D minor, and D Major, BWV 1053, 1055, 1056, 1059, and 1060. Oboist Christian Hommel, The Cologne Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Helmut Muller-Bruhl.
Now let's hear the only recording to own of Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4, The "Italian" Symphony. Made in 1954 by Arturo Toscanini and The NBC Symphony. Pure magic.
youtube
And now here's Fritz Reiner and The Chicago with their recording of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, From The New World, followed by a rolicking version of Dvorak's Carnival Overture, Op. 92, magnificently recorded on RCA Living Stereo in 1956.
youtube
youtube
Now let's hear from the pioneering harpsichordist of the early-mid 20th Century, Wanda Landowska, with her 1934 recording of works for keyboard by Francois Couperin. Another amazing historical musical document.
youtube
I've got space for one more selection for this Monday edition of Morning Coffee Music, and I thought we'd hear that one tiny Vocalise called "Pastorale" that Igor Stravinsky wrote, sung by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, from her later years with Geoffrey Parsons, recorded in 1967. A quirky little bit of whimsical vocal mastery to send us on our way.
youtube
This is Mr. Baggins signing off for now, but I will return at 2pm Pacific with your Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax!
Until then, be kind, babies, be kind.
Baggins out.

Barbie movie post, ig
The most emotional part for me was after the movie was over, and just, thinking back to how I used to play with Barbies with my sister, before I knew I was trans. And like, those memories of playing with those dolls are so precious to me. We would fight because I would want our dolls to have superpowers, and she would want them to be normal high school girls. We had our one Ken doll who’s pants would never stay up and we named him David and he was always working with the bad guys for some reason and he was always my favourite part of the games.
We didn’t have many fancy dresses for our dolls to wear to balls and stuff so I would take scrap fabric and try to wrap them in a way that they would look like fancy dresses so that they could go the the parties. I was like, a fairy godfather, but the dresses were always a little lumpy and ugly, but I tried so hard to make them for these dolls. Now my sister is the seamstress.
My grandpa had the biggest dollhouse in his basement, all handmade and wooden and I would arrange the furniture so carefully, lining up the tiny wooden books so carefully, and when they inevitably fell like dominos, I would just line them up again. I remember once when I was older, I was visiting and when I woke up and walked into the room where the dollhouse was, there was a little boy playing there with them (He was a relative of mine I didn’t know very well,) and we just, played barbies together. I set up the furniture for him. I remember him asking if I was a girl or a boy. I don’t really remember where in my transition I was at, but I remember he didn’t really care about the answer that much. I would play barbies with my cousins when I was younger, in that same dollhouse. It was a hotel most of the time I think. I remember we used to laugh so much together.
Me and my sister used to watch the movies together too. Especially the 12 dancing princesses. That one was my favourite. We would divide all 12 princesses between us, I would get 6 and she would get 6, and whenever one of our princesses was on screen we had to copy their dance moves. That was my idea, I think. Turns out I have ADHD. That movie is also why I love Mendelssohn so much. When I started learning the Italian Symphony clarinet excerpt in like, grade 9, I told my teacher it was the 12 dancing princesses chase scene music. That’s still how I think about it.
There’s something so precious about that time for me, my Barbie era. When I look back on that time, I mostly just think about my sister. Partly because she still loves barbies so much. But it was maybe the time I felt closest to her. Our silly little bickering about what type of adventures our dolls should go on. Who got to be which dancing princess. At the time I don’t think I knew how important those moments were.
The most important part of the movie for me was remembering how me and my sister used to play with Barbies. The world is so much more complicated now than it was when we used to play, and I have changed so much since then. I mean, I’m not her big sister anymore, but her big brother, and that has changed how we interact, even if just a little bit. But I guess the barbie movie reminded me of just how much I love my sister.

Academic work gives me no pleasure and I am dealing with it right now. I have, in fact, been, since February.
Almost crying, I turned to my music this morning --
And Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3 in G (KV 216) is a miracle in any circumstances: link
As is Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerto Grosso No. 9 in F Major, Op. 6: link
And George Frideric Handel’s The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba: link
And, of course, the most delightful Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s Symphony No. 4 "Italian" in A major Op. 90: link

OTD in Music History: Legendary composer, conductor, organist, and pianist Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) tragically dies of a stroke, at the age of just 38, in Leipzig. A living legend in his own lifetime, Mendelssohn remains one of the most frequently-performed composers of the early Romantic Era. Mendelssohn's varied compositional output encompasses symphonies, concertos, piano music, organ music, art songs, and chamber music. His best-known works include the "String Octet" (written when he was just 16) the "Overture To A Midsummer Night's Dream" (written when he was just 17), the "Italian" (1834) and "Scottish" (1842) Symphonies, the "St. Paul" (1836) and "Elijah" (1846) Oratorios, and his 1st Piano Trio (1839) and Violin Concerto (1844). Mendelssohn's voluminous collection of "Songs Without Words" also remain perennial solo piano classics, and his Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" is always a popular favorite. Mendelssohn is also generally credited with having helped to spark revived widespread interest among the concert-going public in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750), thanks in large part to his landmark performance of (a highly-edited and completely-rescored version of) Bach's “St Matthew Passion” in 1829. One of the most influential and important conductors of his time, Mendelssohn’s ten visits to Britain exerted a particularly profound and lasting impact on the development of musical culture in that country. PICTURED: A modern plaster copy of the "death mask" that was made shortly after Mendelssohn passed away. The creation of death masks was a common practice throughout much of Europe until the early 20th Century, and particularly so before the advent and widespread popularization of commercial photography.
