The symphony bracket is here!
This is how voting will proceed:
Beginning on September 1, one poll (2 symphonies) will be posted per day. The poll duration will be 7 days.
The reason for the slow posting will be to give voters time to listen, in case one or both symphonies is new to them!
There are 64 symphonies in the bracket, meaning 32 polls.
Happy voting!

Random Facts: Xavier
Tumblr media
Xavier's Music Collection
We've all seen the intro sequence for the game. As always, the obscure details intrigued me. So, today, I'm going to talk about this particular scene. Shout out to Rachelcookie321 on X for the image and their CD identifications!
Tumblr media
Collection List:
In order from the right side of the screen to the left side, here's what I could identify. But from what I discovered, Xavier is a big fan of Leonard Bernstein!
Tumblr media

?
"Bernstein Conducts Beethoven"
?

"Two Step (...)"

Another "Passando Per Laterra"

Collection Details:
Passando Per Laterra • Purple Dawn • The Seven Stages • Variation 10
"Passando Per Laterra" translates to "Passing Through The Earth". The words beyond that were identified by Rachelcookie123, but I've been unable to find any matches for this one.

This is an album of Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic in Beethoven symphonies, recorded between 1958 and 1964.
Symphonic Dances & Rumble • West Side Story
Composer: Leonard Bernstein
This musical is a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, telling the story of star-crossed lovers in 1950s New York. The score is a mixture of jazz, Latin rhythms, and Broadway style.
Üegar Stjornurnar Palla • Katie Mahan
Composer or Performer: Katie Mahan
Katie Mahan is an American pianist. In Icelandic, this translates to "When The Stars Fall", but I've been unable to find a work/performance of hers by this name.
Waiting For Nobody • Alone ~ The Forest Sings • Allegretto Leggerenete
Composer: ?
This one stumped me. Couldn't find anything at all about it.
Four Anniversaries: 3 • For David Diamond (July 9, 1915)
Composer: Leonard Bernstein
Four Anniversaries is a piano composition written by Leonard Bernstein in 1948. It consists of four movements, each dedicated to a specific person in his life. Xavier has a CD of the third movement, written for David Leo Diamond. David Diamond was also an established composer and this movement reflected his unique style.
Blue Danube Waltz
Composer: Johann Strauss II
This is a consistently popular piece in any classical musicians repetoire.
Fun fact: Among other uses in popular culture, this is the song used in Netflix's show "Squid Game" to announce the start of arepertoire.
Champions of Folly • Roy Harris
Album by: Roy Harris
Roy Harris was a popular American composer in the 1940s. "Champions of Folly" is a specific album of his music and "The Saucy Bold Robber" is a piece from that album.
Hovhaness A.: Lousadzak / Shatakh / Achtamar / Tziakerk
Composer: Alan Hovhaness
This is a recording of pieces by Alan Hovhaness that includes: Lousadzak, Shatakh, Achtamar, and Tsiakerk. Alan Hovhaness was an American composer who was one of the most prolific of the 20th century. While his official catalog includes 67 symphonies and 493 opus numbers, a true tally of his total works comes in at more than 500 surviving works.
Bonus CD:
The subsequent part of the intro scene shows Xavier selecting one CD and putting it into a CD player. On the CD are the words "Deep Space Legend: Beyond the Universe".
