Default Re: Orchestral Anyone???

A lot of these are just movements of certain symphonies and concertos, but I can't remember the names of most of the songs. I'm searching some online to check which songs are which because I know which ones I like.

Beethoven:
Moonlight Sonata
Symphony No. 5
Symphony No. 7
Symphony No. 9

Stravinsky:
Firebird

Mozart:
Andante
Allegro
Molto Allegro
Allegro assai
Allegro con brio
Overture
Rondo alla turca

Tchaikovsky:
1812 Overture



Not sure if this next one is quite classical.

Debussy
Clair de Lune

I'm mainly looking all of these up so everyone can explore classical music more. There's some really good stuff.

There's also good stuff by Chopin, Bach, and many others.. I know I played a song by Holst, in high school, and it was really good, but I can't remember the name. It wasn't what you mentioned Ric.


I figured it out. It's the Second Suite in F, all movements. I remember playing that in band in high school, but we only played movements 1 and 4. Even though it's meant for an orchestra, we still played it as just a band. That happens a lot though, where high school bands play orchestra pieces with modified parts. I played sax, so I would have never been in an orchestra, and my school didn't have an orchestra anyway.

I also like Festive Overture by Shostakovich, but I know he wrote some other really good pieces. I just know that one because I also played it.
