Saturday Evening Music: Imran Khan's Gora Gora Rang

Today will be a odd twist for many of you have been used to....well, let's say more refined music that is usually on my blog. This piece comes from the Punjabi musical world.  I will eventually make a post about my beloved culture which is so close to my heart but for now the music will do.

This is a more modern song to say the least and would not be indicative of the true Punjabi musical tradition!  If you stick around next week, I will post a more traditional song that reflects the culture in a more profound way. Nevertheless, as a 23 year old, you can consider me sort of a "modernist" when it comes to my musical taste!

Saturday Evening Music: Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor

Today we head over to Russia to hear, what I think is, one of the greatest pieces of all time.  Rachmaninoff, like Chopin, was a master at his craft.  He brought a strong Russian theme to his work and this is prevalent in the piece below.

Enjoy your Saturday night with Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor!

Saturday Evening Music: Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor

I had a different piece lined up for today but I heard this composition by Mozart today on the radio and thought it was quite special.   I am a huge admirer of Mozart's works and so I plan on posting many of his pieces on these Saturday evening visits to the classical world.  Enjoy!

Saturday Evening Music: Chopin's Fourth Ballade

On Saturday evenings, after First Vespers, I plan on posting musical pieces/compositions/songs that I would consider to be "good" music.  Some will be of a classical bend while many other pieces will be more modern.

Without further ado, I present to you, Chopin's Fourth Ballade!
