Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (5 Viewers)

Today we celebrate the 221st birthday of Austrian composer and friend of Mozart and Haydn, Carl Ditters Von Dittersdorf. I heard there a mass shoring in Austria today and my thoughts are with them, gorgeous country and incredibly rich musical heritage.

Peaceful, relaxing and playful. What we all need right now.

One good thing about 18th century symphonies is that you can fit all four movements onto one side of an LP.  100 years later, Mahler wrote movements that were longer than an entire Mozart (or Ditters von Dittersdorf) work.

Never heard of the latter and am looking forward to listening to this on my evening walk.

I thought I was number eight in even rounds.  Does this mean I'm up?

:shrug:

I'm eight or twelve depending on the round but I've been wrong on this before.  If I picked out of order, I'll throw it back and draft some other Indie song that strikes my fancy tomorrow.

I'm pretty certain you didn't snipe me.  I'm going classical.

Round 12  -  Appalachian Spring -  Copeland

The link is to Leonard Bernstein conducting the NY Philharmonic.  

 
I get the lack of discussion with no draft order (although I’m not sure why that would happen) but in a draft like this I think the pick twice a day thing works better - especially with so many skips. With that said either way really works for me.

Agreed- not like there is much sniping happening since it's so wide open and there isn't any judging involved.

I presume today and tomorrow are going to be particularly insane in the PSF. Please none of you get banned.

I have vowed to stay out for the most part.  Fortunately a handful of the usual trolls I believe are currently banned, so it should be better in there

I'm up for Round 12, let's go with a candidate for the one of Saddest musical pieces ever...

Rd 12 - Classical Channel - Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings

Adagio for Strings is a work by Samuel Barber, arguably his best known, arranged for string orchestra from the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 11.

Barber finished the arrangement in 1936, the same year that he wrote the quartet. It was performed for the first time on November 5, 1938, by Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra in a radio broadcast from NBC Studio 8H. Toscanini also played the piece on his South American tour with the NBC Symphony in 1940.

Its reception was generally positive, with Alexander J. Morin writing that Adagio for Strings is "full of pathos and cathartic passion" and that it "rarely leaves a dry eye".[2] The music is the setting for Barber's 1967 choral arrangement of Agnus Dei. Adagio for Strings has been featured in many TV shows and movies.

Round 13: 

Comes Alive! channel

Harlem/Cold Baloney -- Bill Withers

Live at Carnegie Hall (recorded 1972, released 1973) is one of my favorite live albums by anyone. Bill Withers was an extremely modest, subdued guy by entertainment-industry standards, but he sure knew how to work a crowd. By the second half of this, the show closer, you have to get up and groove no matter where you are (even your mom's basement.)

Hey paloozapeople, if/when the Prince channel comes up again, is it blasphemy to take a song written by Prince that another artist recorded (Prince approved of course)?

Buffaloes, you picked symphony for 12 right before this pick with Arvo Part. If I'm not mistaken, that's still the Prince/XMU roll. Just something I caught out of the corner of my eye. If I'm wrong, then my apologies in advance.

Symphony was one of the four categories then also I believe.

Classical was part of the previous roll AND the current one.

I can recheck but I thought symphony was rolled 2x in a row. 

 
Thanks, guys. That's what you get for meddling, I guess. I was just distracted because the sheet is a bit behind. Not like it automatically fills itself in, but that's a yeoman's task right now.

 
I opened it to anyone can edit for now. The sheet has a mind of its own though (I reused an old one with lots of functions and fancy stuff), I'll hop in and try to get the category stuff right so it's just a data entry matter. 

Hopefully no trouble makers will deface it this evening. 

 
Round 14

Jam On channel

Maze -- Phish

Of all their longer songs, this one is probably the most likely to appeal to people who think they hate "jamband music". It's really a rock song with extended solos in the tradition of Cream, etc.
