Although very interesting, the technicality & high density is beyond my ability to retain/remember.

I‘ll just enjoy the music & compositions from the greats without trying to tear them apart🎧🎻🎹😏

A Short History of Music | Alfred Einstein

I've been listening to Maggie Rogers's new single "Don't Forget Me." I loved her 2019 album Heard it in a Past Life. Didn't love her 2022 album Surender.
But based on this single, feeling hopeful for the one out in April! ?

BarbaraBB A new to me artist! Cool! 2mo

sarahbarnes Agree with all of these sentiments! 😃Her new song is great. 2mo

CBee Totally agree! Love her music 😊 2mo

Billypar I still have to try the new single but agreed on her past albums. For me, it's not that 2022's was bad so much as Heard It in a Past Life is one of my favorite albums of the past 5 years or so. 2mo

batsy What @BarbaraBB said. I'm keeping a list of artists to discover thanks to this tag 🙂 2mo

TieDyeDude Aww, Maggie! Surrender was definitely different, but I still enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the new record. For anyone new to her (@barbaraBB @batsy), she broke out by making Pharrell cry 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAM1N1APk80 2mo

BarbaraBB Oow @TieDyeDude that‘s interesting 2mo

merelybookish @BarbaraBB @batsy She is worth a listen! And had no idea about the Pharrell story @TieDyeDude 2mo

merelybookish @sarahbarnes Well I'm not surprised we agree! 👯 2mo

merelybookish @CBee @Billypar I listened to Past Lives to the point where I almost can't listen to it anymore. Which is a bummer. 2mo

vivastory Heard It In a Past Life was the 5th album I added to my Spotify library. 💙 (edited) 2mo

CBee @TieDyeDude that‘s how I discovered her! I downloaded “Alaska” as soon as it was available ♥️ 2mo

CBee @merelybookish so I LOVE the new single. I‘ve listened to it a bunch today ♥️ 2mo

sarahbarnes 😁 👯 2mo

Year of Wonder: Classical Music to Enjoy Day by Day | Clemency Burton-Hill

Thank you @Librarybelle for putting this book on my radar!! I am so glad I bought it. I've played piano since I was 5, and violin since I was 7. I've always loved classical music, and I'm really looking forward to reading this book throughout the year! I'm curious to see if my favorites are included, and if so, which ones. 🎶

Librarybelle Hooray!!! Isn‘t it amazing??? I‘m enjoying her second book as well. Hooray for a year of classical music! 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @Librarybelle It is fabulous!! 4mo

Mollyanna I did the same thing. I went out and bought it after reading the review by @Librarybelle. I‘ve played piano and flute since elementary school. Looking forward to immersing myself in the classical music. 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @Librarybelle @Mollyanna I'm absolutely enjoying it so far, and now I'm keeping track of all the music in my reading journal. 😁 4mo

Librarybelle Good idea, @CoffeeNBooks ! @Mollyanna 4mo

Kristin_Reads I loved that book! There‘s a Spotify playlist to accompany it, too. 4mo

CoffeeNBooks @Kristin_Reads Cool! Thanks for letting me know- I just found it! 4mo

LeeRHarry I put it down a couple of years ago at the end of April and plan to pick it back up then this year. 😊 4mo

jlhammar Hope you enjoy! My husband and I loved our daily reading/listening when we did this in 2020. I‘m so happy we‘re making our way through the second book this year. It‘s wonderful so far.

Year of Wonder: Classical Music to Enjoy Day by Day | Clemency Burton-Hill

pick

To say I loved my yearlong journey into classical music through this book is an understatement. Every night, I read the entry for the day and followed it up with the selected piece on Spotify. I‘m a violinist (though a very out of practice violinist), and classical music was such a constant for me growing up. I learned about composers I‘ve never heard of, listened to some favorite pieces, and just enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this.

Librarybelle I listened to today‘s entry this morning to check this one off my 2023 list. I was very excited to see Burton-Hill has another year‘s worth of classical music, and I have that ready to go for 2024 (it was not available in the US when I looked for it earlier this year, so I ordered it through Blackwell‘s)!

CoffeeNBooks Oh wow! I'm going to check this out! I've played classical music (piano & violin) my entire life. I love listening to classical music, so I would probably love this book! 4mo

Librarybelle @CoffeeNBooks I loved the mixture of music she selected - even going into opera and ragtime and jazz. It was amazing! 4mo

Deblovestoread This is part of my 2024 plan. My daughter has been learning violin over the last few years and we ignited my love of classical music. 4mo

Librarybelle @Deblovestoread I hope you enjoy! 4mo

jlhammar Yay! I loved this too. And I‘ll be starting Another Year of Wonder tomorrow - can‘t wait! 🎶 4mo

Librarybelle That‘s so cool, @jlhammar ! 4mo

janeycanuck Oh, I‘m going to have to look into this! 4mo
