Music suggestions please?

[hamster]

Hi all,

 

Next week I am producing a photography exhibition for a camera club that i work with. Showing a total of around 120-150 it will last for about 8-10 minutes. The photos are of a variety of subjects from buildings, people and animals, to close up shots of plants and flowers. It is just an sample of some of the work that the group have produced over the last couple of years.

 

I need to put together some background music and am stumped, I was going to go for some soft classical stuff, but ain't too hot on names and composers really. Also considered obvious ones like 'girls on film, 'flash, bang, what a picture' etc.

 

Please help me here?

 

I have to take the tracks in tomorrow, and am off down the pub for dinner in a while, so will probably check thread later.

 

Cheers in advance

PS

I have the means to download almost anything suggested.

When I read that, my first thought was YES, that is the one, then I listened and remembered how naff it sounds. Sorry LS

Lovely, but too sombre for my lot. Again, sorry Ponty

 

Moby- Porcelain

 

Now that I like. And even Mrs H knows it, which makes it modern in my book, a definitely maybe (not the Oasis one).

 

 

I have also been listening to Cavatina and a bit of Paganini?

Thanks for this people.

[saint_stevo]

Now I go to bed, the winner is.....

 

Moby. I will be illegally using his music to enhance my camera club's presentation next week.

Tha nk you all for your suggestions and good night.

[saint_stevo]

What do i win then?

[Hatch]

Portishead

[Ash]

Looking for soft classical and ended up with Moby?

I would have recommended Górecki's Symphony Number Three from Lento, Sostenuto Tranquillo Ma Cantabile, anything from Saint-Saens' Carnival Of The Animals, Smetana's From Bohemia's Meadows and Forest or any Avro Part.

But Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad just seems so much more apt.

P.S at least you didn't choose Evanescence.

[saint_stevo]

screw you ash, i win

[St Landrew]

Tell you what then... You want something dramatic, yes..? Then choose Mozart's Requiem. There isn't anything more poignant or more dramatic. Anything more would be over the top. Anything less would be pastoral.

 

Mind you, Mahler's Symphony No.1 takes some beating.

 

I was only joking about the Vision On Gallery music, as you probably worked out anyway.

[Bath Saint]

Stockhausen's Kontakte.

 

I think Hymnen would be more appropriate

[bridge too far]

What about Carmina Burana by Carl Orff?

 

Very stirring

[Sheaf Saint]

Leftfield - Melt.

[Robsk II]

Helen Love - Does your heart go boom?

 

or

 

anything by An*l C*nt

Just a quick thank you for all the suggestions, some really lovely moving pieces.

I am sticking with Moby and have found a couple more of his/theirs to add to it.

So yes, SS is the winner of the sex.

Bit safe IMO. I thought Art was meant to be slightly out on a limb.
