I've just come from Youtube where I was listening to Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. Yum. I can go from there to Cat Stevens with no hesitation. Still yum. But nothing will entice me to listen to Tie A Yellow Ribbon or Knock Three Times right now ;-)
Lovely pics by the way. Thanks for sharing them.
PS When it kicks up a notch at 1:50 I start almost head banging. Is that too weird for words?
You might find this post by @bengy interesting, I found it fascinating. Now I know I like Renaissance and Baroque better than Classical & Romantic!

Try this one, in the historical style rather than the traditional. It was originally not intended to be a solemn piece, but a joyous one! Both interpretations are valid, but it goes to show how much the intervening centuries have changed performance.
Very pleasant but to my unpractised ear a bit too repetitive ....
Yes, this particular piece is based upon a repeating harmony that goes round and round, the interest is in the treble lines, but it has no harmonic development!
Eeeee @bengy, that is too music literate for me {smile} ... I just like or dont like.... but that said I am passionate about all kinds of music
I was listening to a version by Voices of Music too. All three are such different interpretations but all gorgeous. I think the London Symphony Orchestra is still my favourite by a nose. I don't find it solemn, more just a quieter, softer joy.
My pleasure, that morning was indescribable. Tony Orlando (dawn...get it) was tongue in cheek. One of the few tunes which surpases country & western music in 'unlistenability'.
That is a lovely tune !! Thoroughly enjoyed it... the start gave me gooseflesh.
