BEAUTIFUL ITALIAN MUSIC

[John Caldwell]

I like Giacomo Puccini...if that counts.

Very good.

In my mind, it evokes the heavenly celebration of triumph at the End of all the evil and sorrow, of the millennia since the Fall of mankind. "For Christ must reign until He humbles all His enemies beneath His feet. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death." (1 Corinthians 15:25-26) No more of man's deadly evil inspired by the evil one--and the Blessed Lord will make His home among His people. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever." (Revelation 21:4) Amen?

Thank you for posting this thread, GG. It takes our minds to a higher place than all the evil that is constantly served up by the media. No matter how bad it gets, we need to always remember that none of this present darkness will ever touch heaven.

Good sentiment there. :)

We need to keep looking up, indeed. (Hebrews 12.2) :)

He was indeed also one of the great Italian musicians.

Of course--good choice! Who could ever forget the aria, "Un bel di"?

I have Madame Butterfly on amazon music (along with Grateful Dead Europe '72).

Then there's good old Pavarotti. :)

I like the symphony, my favorite is impressionism (Ravel and Debussy my top pics). But mostly I'm a Deadhead.

So Deadhead...as in...? (referring to particular music?) :)

The Grateful Dead (I think it would be called, classic rock) has a bit of a cult following.

Okay; thanks; I though it was something like that...

I didn't know they spelled their name that way--I thought it was Grateful Dead. Go figure!

It is Grateful Dead. I was not paying attention. Their music is on a bit of a comeback with Dead & Company.

I also like Andrea Bocelli.

So are you also a bit of a classic rock lady yourself? (kind of identifying with the elemental statements somewhat?)

No--mostly just classical. I fell in love with classical music as a child and except for a brief fling with popular music in my university years, returned to my first love. ;)
