Exceeded Harmony Mix #1

Good friend and blogger-extraordinaire Allie has been posting amazing mixes of her favorite music, which everyone should check out, she has impeccable taste. She has put the idea into my mind of a classical themed mix, which I thought was a great idea. We'll see what happens in the future, it might evolve into a mix of any music I'm loving at the moment, not just classical.
So without further ado, the first Exceeded Harmony mix. I toyed with the idea of including whole works, instead of just movements I liked, but this is more personal. Shows you better what it is I love of certain works..

Tracklist:
1. Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) - Suite No. 2 for Small Orchestra: II. Valse
2. Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) - Cantique de Jean Racine, op. 11
3. Steve Reich (b. 1936) - Duet
4. Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904) - Piano Quintet in A, op. 5: I. Allegro ma non troppo
5. Charles Ives (1874-1954) - Symphony No. 1: II. Adagio molto (sostenuto)
6. Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) - Sonata No. 2 in A, op. 100 for violin and piano: II. Andante tranquilo
7. Gerald Finzi (1901-1956) - Clarinet Concerto in C minor, op. 31: II. Adagio, ma senza rigore
8. Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) - Six Pièces for solo harp: II. Scherzetto
9. John Adams (b. 1947) - Century Rolls, for piano and orchestra: II. Manny's Gym

  1. That was pretty cool. A welcome and refreshing break from Langgaard's symphonies. I'm looking forward to #2!
