For SweetZombieJesus: Music for Taking Stock

[BurtWorm]

Clearing out the shit. Finding peace.

Mahler's Fifth, fourth movement, Adagietto.

[roughsatori]

1. Any solo piano works of Satie

And Schoenberg's "Transfigured Night" ("Verklarte Nacht")

[BurtWorm]

2. I love Transfigured Night.

It's Shoenberg in a Mahlerian mode, late romantic, pre-12 tone. And it lives up to its name.

Excellent choices.

[Section_43]

3. Put on some Coltrane for spiritual uplift...

Expression

or

A Love Supreme

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. Django Reinhardt..Tears

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. Good picks here...

Brahms Requiem...

[roughsatori]

6. That is beautiful, I forgot all about Brahms' Requiem

[BurtWorm]

11. O Goddess, I beseech thee

If th'art still around, there's a lovely Mozart Rondo for solo piano, slow, meditative, quiet, usually around 10 or 11 minutes long, vaguely minor key, but playing back and forth between major and minor...

Do you know which one I'm talking about?

[JVS]

7. Some Wagner

Good stuff.

[wtmusic]

8. Barber's Adagio for Strings

[BurtWorm]

9. Barber's Knoxville Summer of 1915

is also beautiful, mostly quiet...it frequently chokes me up.

[Missy Vixen]

10. Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"

It's beautiful, it's in a minor key and very contemplative.
