I began listening to "classical' music recently, actually in 2007. At that time I did not realize that in fact classical was not a genre but an era...
As the two+ years have passed my interest or more accurately my obsession has grown tremendously and has become a little more focused on baroque music.
Avison, Boyce, Albinoni, Telemann, Bach, Handel are a few of the composers whose music moves me so so much. I listen and listen to one recording (hence my obsession) until my family threatens me
The music of this era literally moves me beyond words- I am filled with both emotion and physical reaction. It is quite like a "drug" where I can not get enough and can't get it fast enough.
One thing I find curious is when I try to describe the music and how I respond to it I can not find adequate language to do so~ this is the impetus of this topic....
What descriptive words and phrases do you use to describe the music (any period-classical, baroque, romantic etc) that you listen to and how it makes you feel physically, emotionally, spiritually any kind of "ly".
