Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Autumn is in full swing. Here is Luca Morelli with his composition, The first Leaf of Autumn.

I've known of 2Cellos for some time, but never paid attention to who the players were. I only became aware of Hauser himself within the last year. This composition was written by Christopher Ball specifically for him and was first performed in 2010.



Less well known perhaps, Luca šulić, who loves the music of Vivaldi, took two years to adapt Vivaldi's Four Seasons for cello. Here he is performing his arrangement of Vivaldi's Winter from The Four Seasons.

acapella group 'Straight No Chaser' perform  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"

What fun, Bubble, with a song I always enjoy listening to. I got to thinking about who wrote the sone and found this. https://performingsongwriter.com/lion-sleeps-tonight/ Sadly, stories like this are so overwhelmingly familiar. Here is Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds, the original.


RAMMEL

I like that song, but not that particular version.
It's the WINDMILLS

MarsGal

It sure has gone through a bunch of modifications since Soloman Linda wrote it.

 Now, 65 years after its release, the song has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time. That makes the song's original performer, Brenda Lee, now 78, one of the oldest artists ever to top the chart.

Good for her!  :thumbup:
She looks great and sounds great.  :clap:

Amy Beach came up while I was researching the poet Sara Teasdale (the composition posted in the Bookshelf section). I haven't listened to an Amy Beach composition in a long, long time, soooooo - I checked out what YouTube had in its listings and ran across this one. I am listening to it now.

Kicking off the pre-New Year's Eve celebrations and thinking of Don this morning.

Spike Jones and Homer & Jethro join forces to poke fun at opera in this recording from the early 1950s.

Related to my last post in "Just Plain Old Music". Geert Chatrou whistling Monti's famous Csardas. Apparently he started whistling at the age of 4 in 1969 and now does this sort of thing for a living.

Peter Schickele, classical music parodist behind the fictional composer P.D.Q. Bach, died on Wednesday at the age of 88. https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/01/17/peter-schickele-p-d-q-bach-dead/

Interesting parody of the Neil Sedaka classic. I'm guessing this was posted in the wrong topic though since it has nothing to do with classical music.

Oldiesmann

Pachelbel's classic played entirely on steel guitar.
