Melancholy Music

Postby Sabina » Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:07 am

It just seems like a perfect opening song for this topic...

...closely followed by...

King Crimson: [size=150]Epitaph[/size]
[flash=480,385]http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/GAxvyvWPhiY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&hd=1[/flash]

Both songs are classics.

Andrew Lloyd Weber, Memory
[flash=480,385]http://www.youtube.com/v/_JyQaoIRjnw&hl=en_US&fs=1&[/flash]
Cats is based on Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (1939), which the composer recalled as having been a childhood favourite. The songs of the musical comprise Eliot's verse set to music by the composer, the principal exception being the most famous song from the musical, "Memory", for which the lyrics were written by Trevor Nunn after an Eliot poem entitled "Rhapsody on a Windy Night".
The musical first opened in the West End in 1981 and then on Broadway in 1982. Each time directed by Trevor Nunn and choreographed by Gillian Lynne, it won numerous awards, including both the Laurence Olivier Award and the Tony Award for Best Musical. The London production ran for twenty one years and the Broadway production ran for eighteen years, both setting long-run records.
Cats has been performed around the world many times and has been translated into more than 20 languages.

Dermot posted these two songs in [url=http://www.deepspirits.com/exploration/music-that-moves-you-t214.html]music that moves you[/url], on page 12... They are both so beautiful, so I am adding them here again for easier access.

I am not sure if this is the best category for these songs, but here goes anyway... a couple from Tori Amos.

"Winter"

"Enjoy the Silence"
