The Cellist Wants Music!

[That1Cellist he/him]

So, I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I would like some music suggestions to listen to. I always am looking to find more music that I like. I prefer instrumental, but lyrics are occasionally nice, and almost always okay if they are in Latin.

Mostly, I just want a place for people to share what music they like.

Well, get going!

We listened to a song in orchestra yesterday called The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky, you should give the music a try.

I like colours by elephant sessions, and reel for rubik, and the Bellevue waltz. Plant life by Owl City is nice (has lyrics).

Wow. That's like, 35 minutes long. Oh wait never mind, It's just a small portion. Wait no. Now I'm just confused.

We only listened to parts of it, pretty good music though, from 1913.

Does anyone else like video game soundtracks? I love classical, but that doesn't mean I don't have other tastes. Once I was told by a very good friend of mine, "All the music you like is either slow and calming or slow and depressing." While that isn't entirely true, I did find it amusing.

Video game soundtracks are the best, Monster Hunter has a unique theme for each monster and so it's fun to hear all the different tracks.

Video game soundtracks are among my favorite music of all time.

I think I've told you this, but the music from the Xenoblade Chronicles series is incredible. I love listening to it.

Yeah. Any specific track recommendations?

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Uh....

For some more contemplative and less action packed songs, I'd start with:

The Main Theme from Xenoblade Chronicles,

Where We Used to Be from Xenoblade Chronicles 2,

And The Title Screen theme from Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

The second two of those are purely piano pieces. I can get back to you with some of my other favorites later.

Ori has some good music. It has a lot, so I can‘t recommend specifics.

(Ori of Blind Forest, Ori and the Will of the Wisps)

Sounds good

I've heard a little of it, and it sounds very nice.

Yeah. It‘s really pretty. I like the main theme and another one I think is called we named her Ku, but I can‘t remember. Mora the Spider sounds kind of silly at the beginning, and it‘s kinda fun to listen to.

I love to just listen to The Legend of Zelda music, and I also like listening to movie soundtracks.

GIVE RITE OF SPRING A TRY!

I've been listening to it since you recommended it. I'm a little over halfway done. Has anyone listened to "Merry Go Round of Life" from Howl's Moving Castle?

What do you think of it? And I haven't listened to that piece.

[That1Cellist he/him]

It's good. It's a little difficult to listen when I'm distracted by the shard, but it's very good. It has so many moods, dynamics, and tones. It's beautiful.
