Respighi.

Larghissimo

I'm not in the mood for you today.

The term "Tone Poem" was coined for composers like Respighi. You can almost see what the piece is describing.

Tone poems.

Have you listened to A Walk in the Paradise Garden?

The name doesn't sound familiar. I'll look it up.

 

[Moonglow]

I am assuming there is no one that speaks music but myself, so it's largo-lento...

 

[Moonglow]

But it is close to Larghetto

By Delius.

Really lovely. If you like that sort of thing.

You're the one playing in the nut house.

That's elsewhere. Or are you so confused, you hadn't noticed?

Couple blocks away, and around the corner.

For him, down the rabbit hole.

Wait, Larghetto is in Pinellas county.

Resphigi does/did have a firm grasp on the the music/emotion connection.

Wait, Larghetto is in Pinellas county.

Yep. I hear folks are pretty slow around there.

I actually would describe the OP piece as being Larghetto.

 

[Mindful]

Gone. For now.

 

[Moonglow]

I'd say it's great music to sleep with..

Oh hold on, can I butt in? I was brought here by the sidebar on Grieg.

Respighi. Yes! But for my "money" you can't beat Church Windows, especially movement 4, "St. Gregory the Great". One of my favorites, but I have so many favorites!

Okay one cool thing about Otto Respighi aside from his music. On a cruise he met Enrico Fermi, the physicist. In their long conversation Fermi tried to get Respighi to explain music in terms of physics, which he was unable to do. Interestingly I think other composers would have perhaps come closer--but not Respighi. At any rate, they remained friends the remainder of their lives.

Me too.

Music has a mathematical construct.

Yes you would just have to choose which part to focus on. I guess my first thought would be acoustics, but it's been a long time since I took my acoustics class! The obvious connection is rhythm. But when you're a composer of Respighi's magnitude it's probably difficult to explain all that to an actual physicist--and he strikes me as more of an emotive composer. Just my opinion. Of his time period his music strikes me as quintessential Italian. In the best possible way.
