Favorite Concert Pieces
What is everyones favorite, or least favorite concert pieces and why?
I am a Personal fan of "First Suite in Eb", and "Second Suite in F". I am also a fan of a piece called "The Hounds Of Spring". I also feel that Robert W. Smith has some good piece out there.

I like both Holst suites also. The Hounds of Spring is a cool piece. I never really thought about what pieces I liked, but I guess it would be the two Holst suites and maybe Blue Shades and Masque. There's probably others, but I can't think of them right now. My least favorite to play would be any Holsinger peice. I like listening to his stuff, but just not playing it for some reason.

I could go on for years about my favorite band pieces, but I'm posting for a different reason. I just got a CD with a bunch of overtures arranged for band, and it has The Hounds of Spring on it. Honestly, I can't say I was that thrilled by it. The CD does have a superb arrangement of Malcolm Arnold's Peterloo Overture and Verdi's overture to La Forza del Destino.

Wow, who knew so many were a fan of the same music that I like?
Anyways for me, my top three favorite songs would be in no particular order:
The Planets by Holst
New World Symphony by Dvorak
Firebird Suite by Strauss
Its a fine list I believe, but there are so many pieces out there, and just different categories in classical pieces. (SIGH) I could keep going forever, but I guess I'll stop.
