I'm constantly amazed to find people who haven't heard this.
The BBC used it as theme tune for the Italia 90 World Cup Football competition.
(Pavarotti was a goalkeeper in his youth.)
Found it. Played before every match they showed.
This piece is not very well known, but the first movement I played in high school solo competition and won a musical scholarship for. The judge told me he was impressed anyone my age would even attempt this piece. It's one of the very few "classical" pieces that has been written especially for saxophone.
one should not overlook the works of gustav mahler.
Here is the finale of symphony no.2 'the resurrection' (fast forward to the last three minutes if 13 minutes is too long).
and the adagietto from his symphony no.5 is what first hooked me on mahler when i was like nine and saw the dvd 'death in venice'.
mahler = heavy
It seems Philip Glass is one of those musicians you either love or hate, but personally, I adore him. Perfect writing music. Thinking music.
Yes - the pieces you posted are good examples - prolific use of range of instrumentation and chorus - often long weighty pieces ... heavy.Really? Can you explain 'heavy' in the musical sense?

To me, "heavy" in the musical sense, means that it hits me. It resonates with me. It makes me feel like I want to be a part of the music.Really? Can you explain 'heavy' in the musical sense?
