Talking meme: Answer 3. Music

[dimity_blue]

The Talking Meme can be found here.

sallymn asked me: Talk to me about music - what do you like, what makes you cringe?

Well, that's a broad subject...

I could probably find something in most genres that would appeal to me. Probably. If nothing else, find something that appeals to my sense of fun. I find it difficult to enjoy hard jazz though as too much discord with no resolution throws me off. I think that's the only genre I've actually tried to listen to that I couldn't take to at all.

I'm not keen on atonal music either:

Apart from Gregorian chants. I'll make an exception for them.

I love classical music, from sweet melodies like Saint-Saens' The Swan from Carnival of the Animals:

to wild, sweeping music like the main theme from Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries:

.

Then there's rock 'n' roll, which I love for the fun bounciness of it, like Chantilly Lace:

I tend to think of that as Daisy's theme tune: with a wiggle when she walks and a giggle as she talks... Ain't nuthin' in the world like a big eyed girl...

I love romantic music, like Johnny Reid's Dance With Me which I've posted before:

Then there's music which makes me cry (Bread's Aubrey):

I also have a great fondness for songs with a lot of piano (Billy Joel's Always a Woman):

Okay, I'm done.
