The Red Violin - The Legend of the Haunted Violin -- spooky music for October!
Longer version of "The Red Violin"
Longer version of "The Red Violin"
Symphony No. 3 (Circus Maximus) the music begins at 8:20 , however the introduction is interesting, listen at 32:30 for the sirens!
Fern Hill this is choral music (performed by a choir) listen around 5:00 for the most exciting part!
Dear Mr. Montague,
ReplyDeleteI like the Red Violin by John Corigliano. It makes me feel sadness. It makes me see a rainy cloudy day at the ocean and a mermaid is looking for someone she misses. I like the singing too.

Delete(Warren Hylton's mom) - I was surprised that The Red Violin actually did sound very scary. Circus Maximus, though, sounded like a bunch of noise in the beginning then turned into recognizable circus sounds. Gotta love a circus trombone.

ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Corigliano,
My favorite song was the chorus of Fern Hill. Red Violin was not scary but Circus Maximus was spooky. Great work on winning all those awards and still teaching college!
The red violin is hauntingly soothing! Perfect for this time of year with a chill in the night and a cup of hot chocolate! I love it!
