Mac’nClassicalCheese - Dec 13, 2023

Andddd its the end of season 3 and the fall semester, so, like they do in the movies, we have some sappy, romantic, pretty, and emotional music to close out the show and leave us feeling all warm and mushy inside. There are some film scores queued up today from Finding Nemo, 1917 (both by Thomas Newman), the Theory of Everything, 2 different Harry Potter movies, Moonlight (by Nicholas Britell aka bae), Pride and Prejudice, and, wasn't expecting this myself, but How to Train Your Dragon...the third one. And then some classical pieces: a super quick andante from Pelleas et Melisande, the big famous variation from Elgar's Enigma Variations (variation 9: Nimrod), the adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia from the ballet...Spartacus, and the piece I hate on from time to time because I'm a Rachmaninoff stan and he has SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER THAN symphony 2 movt. 3, but it is pretty, so it closed out the show. And that's all folks! Or rather — That's a wrap!
