I have written two books on music, creation, science, language and theology. It is my confirmed belief that the entire Creation event was musical in nature-----that is the Creation commands were SUNG by God, the Creator. Science is now claiming that without vibration, frequency and SOUND, the entire universe would collapse. That puts an entirely new spin on the origins of music---and even the origins of everything. I am anxious to get responses. aviatrix1932

I'm a lover of classical music, and I listen to it virtually all the time. I remember the "C-Music" channel that was on "DSTV" a while ago, it was my go to channel. Then one day I switch my TV on and it's no longer there...
This is the story of classical music (and will be the story of every kind of music as time goes on)
One day it's the new rave and everyone loves it, then time passes by, people change, new genres show up... and soon it becomes even difficult to find a CD in the music store.

Lets be grateful for the internet, because as long as it exists (and cloud storage too), "WE" the select few who still love and appreciate good old classical and chamber music will always be able to find solace! *sits down*

May have posted this already but it's good enough for a reboot.



Got to see this live. Other than having babies, getting married, and meeting The Bat, one of the most amazing experiences of my life.



Centuries old classical is the origins of extreme heavy metal. If you disagree I will fight you.

Quite simply, one of the most incredible compositions.

The section that starts at 14:00 brings me to my knees and tears to my eyes.

Centuries old classical music is (one of) the origins of ALL western music with Blues being equally important in the realm of popular music.

Not to mention that the piece posted is not even one century old yet.....
