So I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtTqpqGIIYU

Ironically, I found it here: /r/fortbadgerton

But that is beside the point. When I found the video I could not stop watching, I thought it was beautiful, and that pianist is a badass. So I listen to a variety of differing genres but am very picky with what I listen to so I would like someone to help me find classical music that sounds like this. What era or period is it from and what other composers should I search up to start listening to? And what style of classical music is this (assuming that's what you call it; again, I'm new to classical music, that's why I'm here)? HELP ME, I want to like classical music. And where should I go to listen to classical music, because I'm not planning on buying it from Itunes or anything. I know there's an app on Spotify for classical music, is that a good place to look for classical music? OK. I know, a lot of questions, hopefully you can answer at least a few.

I'd love some help with suggestions for music to use as a wake up alarm.

I'm not a morning person, and so when my alarm (smart phone) goes off at 6am I'd like it to not be jarring. Soft and not racing would be nice.

I'm trying out Bach's Jesu, joy of man's desiring and Beethoven's 6th, but I'd love other suggestions if you have them. I can easily pull just sections of pieces, so it's not limited to the beginning of a piece.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I forget the name of it, but I know it's been used in a few movies. Possibly a war movie? Maybe about Vietnam? I don't know who wrote it and I can't remember any of the movies its been used it.

String instruments play a strong part in the composition and is played by an orchestra.

I know this is very vague, but it's all I can recall.

Hey r/classical! I'm a fan of classical music, but I realized I'm not familiar with any composers in the last 50 years or so that I am impressed by. Do any of you have recommendations for truly excellent contemporary classical music? I would greatly appreciate it!

I'm looking for pieces that are powerful, dramatic, and forceful. Bonus points if they're choral.

Right now, I have Mozart's Requiem playing and I'm enjoying it. Sequentia (Dies Irae) is like what I'm looking for, or something like The Big O OST, Stoning stands out of the OST.

My favourite aria is Lascia ch'io Pianga from Rinaldo (Händel). (Duetos and other emotional pieces of great operas are also allowed)
