king ubu Posted August 5, 2013 Report Posted August 5, 2013 First thing to come to mind are fragments of Mozart ... stuff from operas, piano concertos ... also Beethoven (violin sonatas: the Kreutzer and No. 10/Op. 96). Hoagy Carmichael as well! Also some of Monk's tunes will definitely make my cut ... "Reflections" comes to mind first, but there are others, "Ruby My Dear", "Crepuscule with Nellie", and of course "Round Midnight". Bud Powell, "Glass Enclosure" Clifford Brown's "Joy Spring" virtually all Tadd Dameron tunes And Strayhorn, too - "UMMG", "Lush Life", Johnny Hodges doing "Blood Count" ... As for standards, some great ones have been mentioned ... allow me to throw in "Stormy Weather". And some Gershwin: "Bidin' My Time", "Nice Work If You Can Get It", "Embraceable You", "How Long Has This Been Going On"... Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", "Begin the Beguine" ... Raye/DePaul's "You Don't Know What Love is" Victor Young's "Delilah" though with standards looking at just the melody is somewhat missing the point because the genius of the best of them lies in how they melt together melody and words and in how they get to be more than the sum of their parts Did Mozart compose People in Sorrow? Or was that Monteverdi? Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) i'm not sure that haunted heart has been mentioned. i could listen to several versions(vocal or instrumental) of haunted for hours. bill evans, jo stafford(with paul weston), or jeri southern's (with victor young arranging and conducting) come notably to mind. thank's for showcasing it ghost of... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SsJu1UG_Lsg Edited August 5, 2013 by alocispepraluger102 Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted August 5, 2013 Report Posted August 5, 2013 Elgar's Chanson de Matin Sospiri, the tune from the 1st movement of Symph 1, the Nimrod Enigma Variation and 'Praise to the Holiest' from Gerontius would all qualify for me. Elgar could bang out a good tune. Quote
