So, a little help please

I love listening to classical music when i hear it in movies, ads or whatever but unfortunately i never know the names of the pieces or which composer etc when i attempt to look them up.

So, can you name some popular pieces for me to enjoy?

Thanks in advance

My all time favorite is Mozart's Requiem in D minor.

Especially Lacrimosa.

You'll probably recognise most of Beethovens 5th and 6th symponies, as well as Holsts The Planets and Vivaldis Four Seasons. Mozarts Marriage of Figaro Overture is used a lot in films, and Pachelbels Canon and Fugue was used in adverts.

Could you use Shazam when the advert comes on?

That might help you identify them

Hi OP, you can actually purchase or find on YouTube or Spotify playlists of classical music that come from movies/adverts -- it's quite a good way to scan through and identify the ones that appeal to you.

Elgar Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op 85

Joaquín Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez: II Adagio

Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43

Barber Adagio for Strings, Op 11a

Chopin Nocturnes, Op 9, No 2 in E Flat Major

Tchaikovsky Sleeping Beauty, Op 66, Act 1, No 6 Waltz

Dvorák Rusalka, Op 114, Song to the Moon

Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue

Canteloube Chants d'Auvergne

Michael Nyman's score for the movie The Piano

Just a selection I'd recommend but I could witter on with more! In fact, I'll start kicking myself for leaving ones off as soon as I post!

Making Classic FM your preferred radio station is the most pleasurable way of understanding your taste and learning which composers tick your box

Beethoven's Pastoral symphony no 6 has been tickling my ears this morning.

If you have shazam on your phone you can source which song is playing. It quite often offers similar listening

This! I could reel off a list of composers and music (baroque is a wonderful period to look at) but there's little point. It's such a personal thing and you find out more about what you like by listening to many.

Hamburger Hill, intro. Church music can be quite soothing too. Check out Black Robe, some very dark tunes in that. Or even Porky's Revenge, one or two good beats.
