Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 04, 2019

Between those two? Copland.

However, I’ll go with Stravinsky’s “The Firebird”

Mine is Comfortably Numb

What? no Lyle Lovett?

Actually, The Sabre Dance or Flight of the Bumblebee might serve for Frazz. Fanfare for the Common Man is too grandiose for him, and I don’t know what he would be celebrating victory over for the Fifth. Some days I hum, “We Are the Champions,” but I have no illusions.

Vivaldi- Four Seasons- Autumn, is my choice

And… I am multi-tasking, reading the comics while enjoying… Autumn

I would suggest Copland to Frazz!

I imagine myself to be a Ride of the Valkyries type…

“Promontory” from “Last of the Mohicans” by Trevor Jones.

So who else hears background music in their heads during moments of great emotion in their lives? … Anyone else?

mine would be Holst “MARS”

At work, it would definitely be Dragonforce – Through the Fire and the Flames. Home is for relaxing, so it would be Beethoven’s 7th for home.

I wonder if Caulfield was referring to Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s version of “Fanfare for the Common Man”?

How about this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64

Copland, always!

O Fortuna from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Always a good choice.

“Raiders March” by John Williams.

The 3rd Symphony is more appropriate – triumph over struggle. If it’s the 5th, I think the 4th Movement fits better than the 1st, even though Caulfield is probably thinking of the 1st.

And forget “Fanfare for the Common Man.” Go for “Tarkus” instead.

The Triumphal March from Aida always gives me goosebumps.

Which version of “Fanfare For The Common Man”?

Truly enjoyed all the comments on this one. Brought back lots of memories.

Black Dog

O Fortuna

" Symphony #3: Organ Symphony",Saint-Saens. (Finale)

Mr Blue Sky by ELO

You Need Somebody To Love, by The Jefferson Airplane.

Carmina Burana

Plain but powerful: The trumpet voluntary from the opening credits of Star Trek: Deep Space 9

“The Story In Your Eyes” by the Moody Blues.

all those are nice…….finale of the William Tell Overture

Col. Bogey

Van Morrison “Precious Time”

“Dambusters March” by Eric Coates.

I’m going flying later today, so “Dambusters March” by Eric Coates and “Kaze No Tani No Nausicaa” by 久石譲

“Don’t Stop Me Now” By Queen.

Got to be Copland. I would prefer Mahler.

Oh, I like Bach’s Toccata & Fugue in D Minor. My favorite is E. Power Biggs at the Royal Festival Hall organ… 8^)

“Aces High” by Iron Maiden!

My debate is more Tull’s Locomotive Breath or Ozzy’s Crazy Train.

I’d pick something by Nobuo Uematsu.

Fanfare. Definitely

As for me, I always want Pavarotti singing the final three words of “Nessun Dorma”, “vincerò! vincerò! vincerò!” highlighting my every day!

Gustav Holst – The Planets – Mars, the Bringer of War, Tchaikovsky – 1812 Overture (Chorus and Cannons), … the list goes on.

Man! There was some good stuff there!

Caulfield has a nice coat.

The Rains of Castamere

Whatever Frazz and Caulfield come up with, I myself do not, in fact have Beethoven’s 5th loaded into my phone. But I have Copland’s Fanfare in there, both a ringtone (some symphony) and the full song (Emerson Lake & Palmer), to use as my alarm to get me going on the really important days. Though for even more important days, it’s John Mellencamp’s “Your Life is Now.” A little less highbrow, but very good. And those both come a few minutes after Al Green’s “Take Me to the River.” Because if you can’t wake up happy, what’s the point of waking up motivated?

Whatever music is in your head right now – I consider it a significant triumph and joy to read a lengthy string of posts, most with different opinions, and nary an unkind word among them.

Can world peace be far behind?

Petty’s “Running Down a Dream”?

Dang I love everyone’s music choices. I wish I could narrow mine down. If Beethoven though have to go with the 7th, dance dance dance!

Prokofiev symphony 1 perks me up.

Thank you, everyone, for all the varied choices. I’ve been exploring many on Youtube. Thanks, Jef, for getting the ball rolling.

“She shall have music wherever she goes.” Sigh.

Come on, don’t we all want a trainer coming up behind us with “Eye of the Tiger” on playing on a wireless speaker?

Booker T.‘s “Hip Hug-Her”; Mongo Santamaria’s cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man”; Bowie’s cover of Springsteen’s “Saint In the City”; “Apricot Brandy”, by Rhinoceros; the Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated”; Jeff Healey’s version of “Jambalaya”; I also have a liking for 60’s and 70’s covers by 80’s and 90’s bands, e.g. “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” by Slayer, or Steve Stevens and The Atomic Playboys version of Sweet’s “Action”. I’m sure numerous other examples will pop into my head later, along with “how could I have forgotten…..”

I’d prefer the first 20 seconds of Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” on an endless loop.

As a point, for the Australian Army, You get to choose your ramp song. My mates’ was ‘Little Lion Man’ Luckely he didn’t get to use it. [btw, the down ramp is always ‘Advance Australia Fair]’.God(s) Bless those Who Serve….
