I actually learned how to play this on piano when I was in high school. It took me about three years to get to where I could play the whole thing by memory. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. My fingers are so gnarly now (it's been almost 40 years) I don't think I would ever be able to play it again, even with the sheet music. But it was still a nice trip down memory lane hearing it again! The visual impressions you're getting in your head about the music is exactly what the master composers like Beethoven wanted from their audiences. This type of instrumental music was meant to be interpreted differently by each listener.
@@KishoreG2396 That’s true, it’s just been so long since I had to read music! I struggle with the bass clef especially. The beginning part I tend to know by memory. Would love to get back into it though.
Exactly. Each persons experience and take on the piece is 100% correct. A million listeners have a million experiences and every one of them is right. I once had an art teacher tell me my take on the Starry Night painted by Van Gogh was wrong. I told her no one can be wrong. My experience is mine alone.
WOW. I'm impressed that you're checking Beethoven out. Moonlight Sonata is magical, mystical, dreamy, hypnotic and I loved to play it on the piano, the first part.
Jay, I'm so delighted to see you reacting to some more classical music! There's no end to the wonderful classical compositions out there for you to discover. I don't even know where to start with recommendations! Maybe Beethoven's Ode to Joy from Ninth Symphony, or something by Mozart, or... Just dive right in and ENJOY!
You are meant to feel classical music. In your body and in your brain.Try going to a symphony concert. You can feel the music in your body without the use of a single speaker. There's a big reason why these classics have been around for hundreds of years. They speak to us. Ever notice the old cartoons like looney tunes, and even older, stuff that was made in 20's and 30's up to modern times played classical music? I dont remember names, but these are facts: movie studio producer in charge loved classical music. Felt it a shame that regular folk couldn't afford to go to symphony concerts, and were missing out on hearing beautiful music. So he mandated that background music be from the classics. Almost every note you hear in those cartoons is classical music from all sorts of great composers.
@@jeffreym68 really didnt think that needed to be pointed out.common sense shouldn't be. Hereabouts, things of that ilk been shut down for quite a while and will continue to be so in foreseeable future.
@@julietenning7981 I'm not exactly sure how to take your response, so I will clarify mine. I was agreeing with you, concerning the difference it makes hearing it live (especially somewhere with great acoustics). Then it occurred to me that I ought to clarify, out of an abundance of caution, that I wasn't suggesting doing so now, not because I thought YOU were suggesting it, but because common sense seems to have gone by the wayside. (We're not in lockdown.)
I guarantee you there are a LOT of people whose classical music knowledge began strictly from the looney toons cartoons. To the point that while I still enjoy the pieces on their own and for what they are, I can't help but associate some sections with some very vivid memories of specific scenes from said cartoons.
"The next one from him" gives me a chuckle, as if Beethoven were Barry Gibb or something....😁 It is also delightful to watch a young guy get distinctly jiggy with Beethoven!
just listen to the whole fucking 9th or 5th symphony. esp the 9th is the best music ever written. B. wrote it absolut deaf - it is the most impressive, highest respected part of music - basically nobody who has some understanding for music would disagree. That is no disrepect to other artists - but beethoven is better - every single time. Listen to the 9th, it is 70 minutes of perfect music.
Theres a vid of an Orchester flashmob to Beethovens "ode to joy" (which is the anthem of the european union) in nuremberg in germany. Check it out, goosebumps guarantied.
Absolutely beautiful.The name Moonlight Sonata comes from remarks made by the German music critic and poet Ludwig Rellstab. In 1832, five years after Beethoven's death, Rellstab likened the effect of the first movement to that of moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne
I never knew that, but that's exactly the image I get from the first movement of this piece! Sitting next to a stream, the full moon reflecting off the ripples in the water.
When you listen to classical music you should make sure it’s a live performance. Seeing an orchestra at work or, in this case, the hands of a pianist move all over the keys is an unbelievable sight to behold.
I am glad that you actually react to classical music, my favorite genre. You haven't done any Johann Sebastian Bach yet, so I suggest his "Brandenburg Concerto #3". Keep up the great work.
I agree also Bach - Cantata No. 147: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is really one of my favorites here is a link "ruclips.net/video/UMNof7QZuGo/видео.html"
Beethoven is very popular in Eastern Asia. And it is also one of the most beautiful things ever produced in Germany. It is a great pleasure to see you, so many miles away, so many decades away, enjoy the music of this compositor - who had a hard life. Worst thing imaginable happened to him. He became deaf slowly and agonizingliy. I would love to see Beethoven see someone a continent away enjoy his music in 21. century. Greetings from Germany
Have you already had opportunity to watch an orchestra playing Beethoven? It’s so amazing to see the magic coming out from those instruments perfectly. 🥰
Yeah, when he said he wondered what he was thinking when he wrote it, I thought, “Ach, du lieber, I wonder what this sounds like.” Then I felt guilty. Then I felt silly because Beethoven freaking knew what it sounded like even if he was deaf.
Had hearing loss in 1798 wrote this in 1801, again, depending in the source. If you are going to criticize a comment, don't make assumptions as to the level of competency of the writer, especially if you haven't fully read said comment.
@@andyharris5438 B lost his hearing step by step. You can follow it by his symphonies... the lighter ones and the darker - in that time he had serious troubles. And then, in the end, he did the 9th. This shows god exists. Because only god could give a human the ability to write that thing.
Actually the titel is "Für Elise" with "ü"...and if you don´t have the letter "ü" on your keyboard then you have to write "ue" instead = "Fuer Elise" The word "Fur" does not exist at all in the german language...just saying. I know most "non Germans" don´t have a clue about the concept of "ü, ä, ö" which can be replaced by "ue, ae, oe"...but just using "u, a, o" instead is essentially wrong because those letters are totally different pronounced than ü, ä, ö...and using those pure vowels "u, a, o" for the diphthong vowels "ü, ä, ö" could give the word under certain circumstances even a total other meaning as well
@@jankypop-a-matic58 Oh boy...It highly seems you need a lesson too...starting first with the meaning of punctuation and grammar.....because it wasn´t about punctuation or grammar...it was just about spelling..just saying.😉
When I close my eyes for this song, I imagine being sad, trying to fall asleep, finally getting there and then, BAM! A dream that is happy and busy and all that the music does....
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is my favorite piece of music ever,. As per Moonlight Sonata, though, look for Shout’s version of it on guitar in 32nd notes (Chuck King on guitar).
This song can make me feel sad when I'm already sad, and yet somehow help anyway. I can use it to fall asleep, wake up, calm down, study, relax, concentrate... whatever I need, this song has the power.
There was a Wrestler who goes by the name Matt Hardy, he completely reinvented his character by having this be his entrance music. Kickstarted my love for this particular symphony
When you're not used to classical music, it confuses you a bit, but the more you listen, the more you like it and begin understand it. Beethoven is kind of hard-core classical, it's best to start with something like Strauss, or Mozart, Mozart's piano concerto number 21. Is a nice calm piece.
Yeah, I mean anything by Strauss is usually light hearted. Lots of people know composers by name, so I'm just used to saying it that way. I f I must specify, then The blue Danube waltz or Radetsky march.
Hi Noel Dempsey, I have to disagree with you. Listening to the simple music Mozart composed can in some cases put people of listening to more classical music. The music he composed is (to be polite) rather different to music from the likes of Beethoven, Mahler, etc. Your advice CAN be true and helpful for some people but definitely not for all... If I had started out with the likes of Mozart and Vivaldi, I would probably had given up and stopped listening to classical... I am glad that I started with what you call the "hard-core classical" :)
Usually when I play something like Beethoven 's 5th, and pieces like that, people usually say '' That's scary turn it off'' but with something more mellow, they seem to like it. So really I'm just talking about my experience with it. I love All classical music, especially the dark ones, but people are very stuck in a rut when it comes to music.
@@Nen783 Wow.. that was a quick answer. Thank you! I am just trying to say that classical music isn't a lot different from contemporary music... there are a lot of different styles... listening to Boney M will not make you more inclined to listen to Prince or David Bowie. ;) Anyway... I didn't want to start a lengthy discussion... just glad that there still are people listening to the composers of the past.
Love lost walking in the country. Cold, damp bare trees and a full moon. Deep thought yet empty not paying attention to where they are walking. Haunted by memories.....
This is a great work. Remember he lived over 200 years ago......can you imagine your favorite modern music being listened to 200 hundred years from now? Just blows the mind, yea? I forgot to tell you.....there is modern day music with no singing that is pretty darn good. One of my favorites is Cusco, their first cd of music......😊
Classical music is one of my most favorite music in the world. Beethoven is my favorite, then Mozhart. You've got to just close your eyes and just go with the music. It's such a beautiful moment in time when you do that.
The most beautiful and rich music style ever Bach Vivaldi Debussy All these genious... I sometimes like listening to piano like this too These times i love joep beving A pianist making such beautiful melody.. Beethoven was such a genious Wish more people could listen to classical For that u need to like music so yeah x) Rip all the people that cant hear some gorgeous things like this
One of my favourite musical pieces. Just beautiful. I love that you are willing to explore all genres of music. Please do this forever. More people should have such an open mind.
If I were to choose one classical song to play for a person who's never heard classical before, I'd play them Jupiter-Gustav Holst. It's one that people have usually heard before from somewhere, in movies and tv, and it just makes you smile🙂
How I interpreted this piece: the 1st movement is a slow autumn rain turning to snow, the second a summer morning shower, the third a full blown thunderstorm
So very excited to see you reacting to classical music again - and it being Beethoven! Promise you will go listen to a classical, symphonic orchestra concert sometime. You would love it, Jovaughn!
This song can climb inside of you so deep and it is like 'soul breathing' touching on your deep emotions and transporting you to another place and time. Thanks for reacting to this one Jay
Hello from PHILADELPHIA, Jay. So glad to see you review some classical music like Beethoven. You are really expanding your music choices and you should be commended for that. Did you know Beethoven was deaf, too? Amazing, right? I continue to implore you to give a review of "Come Inside of My Heart" by Filipino band "IV of Spades." Very catchy song. I think you'll enjoy it. Take care. 😊🤙
Brings me back to playing this when I was very young. I haven’t played in years, but this was a favorite to play. My favorite composer was/is JS Bach. The two- and three-part inventions played by Glenn Gould are fantastic (and they’re relatively short to react to). Another Bach masterpiece is the “Double” Violin Concerto, Concerto for Two Violins in D minor performed by Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern. It’s in three movements, but all three are superb. 💜💜💜
Beautiful piece.. you will, like Wynton Marsalis classical album songs ( he plays trumpet) soooo awsome!!! I love watching your amazement at these classics. Music is music and to appreciate it . True talent.
One of my favorite classic pieces. When I played in a symphony I never got the chance to play Beethoven, a lot of Mozart and Vivaldi. A couple Bach pieces too. Great thing about Beethoven, his music is so relaxing, I listen to it when I have a hard time sleeping.
The reason you had different images come to mind is because this music is not telling you about anything. It's not supposed to touch your mind. It is communicating with your emotional being. You are supposed to feel it, not think it.
This Masterpiece was my culmination of piano played from age 6 until Senior Year High School. I will never forget learning it. Still my absolute favorite of Beethoven’s. I was lucky to go to Germany to see where he is buried. I think all artists of all genres need to listen to some of the Great Masters. Just the timing is amazing in itself. Great one tonight! Thanks!
Music, especially like this, works both sides of the brain and you're picking up on that :). This work is in movements, and each will sound a bit different. Great choice as usual thanks for sharing.
Thank you for reminding me about what it's like to hear my favourite music like it's the first time. If you like classical piano can I humbly suggest Friedrich Chopin? His Marche Funebre is beautiful as is Fantasise Impromptu. Also Felix Mendelson (spelling might be wrong) Fingal's Cave is a stunning piece for the orchestra. It's also known as The Hebrides overture.
I am delighted that you have heard some Beethoven, my favourite part is the 3rd movement (the fast bit). It was a joy watching you discover the 60s 70s and 80s classics, but the joy of you hearing Beethoven tops it all. Brilliant!
I am honestly so happy I found your channel a couple of months ago. The honest and cheerful way you are appreciating music is just so very captivating. Please, continue being such a good and openminded personality. :)
Marion have you checked out the version by La Folia Barock Orchestra directed by Peter Müller published by the small German label Stockfish? It´s definitely something one has to get used to, but it´s absolutely wild and the attention to the sound quality is outstanding with Stockfisch. Grüße aus dem Rheinkreis Neuss
Jayvee! You need to check out a great American symphonic composition - Appalachian Spring, by Aaron Copeland. It's an entire piece, divided into eight movements, but most of them aren't very long. You could knock them out in two groups of four. I think you would be immensely moved!
Loved your reaction to this masterpiece. I'm so glad you're getting into classical music. This piece has 3 movements, that's why you noticed the huge differences.
This is one of those songs that has been sampled a lot in music by many different artists and genres of music. One of my absolute favorites. This is one of those rare songs that touch your soul.
This is a fairly simple piece of work from the great man. Always amazes me how these artists from the 1600 hundreds onwards had the ability to write such music as there was no way to hear your work fully until it was given to an orchestra. No recording playbacks then!
@@sebas5703 1801 actually. 12 years before he went completely deaf - and 22 years before he wrote his 9th symphony - today the hymn of the EU (at least the final part of it)
I loved your comments on what you were hearing. When my sister and I were kids our dad would play classical music for us and while we were listening he would ask us to draw what we heard. The one piece I really remember doing that with was The Grand Canyon Suite by Ferde Grofé. Your analysis took me back to that time in my life, and that's something special about music like classical music that doesn't have lyrics to lead you where to go. Of course, composers have a story behind what they're writing, but it's also fun to just be swept away by what you feel when you listen to it. My parents would also often put on a record of Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov and listen to it the living room after they put us to bed. I went to sleep many nights of my childhood to that piece of music. It is one of my favorites. Might I also suggest you check out The Planets by Gustav Holst, especially the movement Mars. A lot of people also mention Rachmaninoff. In 2011 the drum and bugle corps, Carolina Crown, had their show Rach Star which combined the music of Rachmaninoff with classic rock artists like Queen and The Rolling Stones and others. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DfTaKrcRtd1I&ved=2ahUKEwiPodz8-rjuAhWLVc0KHWr4CNQQo7QBMAV6BAgEEAE&usg=AOvVaw1Rb3FZfYRcirK14QIciuJG You might find it interesting.
To me it feels like a gentle beginning and end. Like dusk hitting the earth and the gentle dance the moon and sun exchange. Much like our lives, fleeting soft, heavy and beautiful
I love how you describe what your feel throughout. This music is to be felt just as much as you listen to it. It's an entire experience in every piece.
Good for you for adding some classical. Of the three "biggest" (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach) Bach is by far my favorite. I also love Dvorak's New World Symphony. I'd be thrilled to listen with you to either, someday sooner than later.
I look at your eyes. You know how to listen to music. Your heart is pure.
Absolutely. He's a deep and beautiful soul. You can see that in all his videos. Very refreshing in today's world...
@Jesse the eyes are actually a good way to know people if you pay attention and look deep, the eyes are a gateway to the soul, look up eye gazing
So much.
wow, CLASSICAL seriously?? Nice! I highly recommend the Russian-composers Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov.
And Rachmaninov & Prokofiev!
@@holyspacemonkey I love the score for Alexander Nevsky by Prokoviev! The Battle On The Ice is epic! I watched the film and I really enjoyed that too.
Night on Bald Mountain
@@larry-naylor I love that too!

Love lost walking in the country. Cold, damp bare trees and a full moon. Deep thought yet empty not paying attention to where they are walking. Haunted by memories.....
Being swept away by the moonlit night.
Beethoven's "Fur Elise" has been my favorite since 1st experiencing it played live at 5 years old. I would love to see your reaction! ❤
This is a great work. Remember he lived over 200 years ago......can you imagine your favorite modern music being listened to 200 hundred years from now? Just blows the mind, yea?
I forgot to tell you.....there is modern day music with no singing that is pretty darn good. One of my favorites is Cusco, their first cd of music......😊
Classical music is one of my most favorite music in the world. Beethoven is my favorite, then Mozhart. You've got to just close your eyes and just go with the music. It's such a beautiful moment in time when you do that.
The most beautiful and rich music style ever
Bach
Vivaldi
Debussy
All these genious...
I sometimes like listening to piano like this too
These times i love joep beving
A pianist making such beautiful melody..
Beethoven was such a genious
Wish more people could listen to classical
For that u need to like music so yeah x)
Rip all the people that cant hear some gorgeous things like this
One of my favourite musical pieces. Just beautiful. I love that you are willing to explore all genres of music. Please do this forever. More people should have such an open mind.
I can remember my sister playing this for me when I was very young. So comforting.
If I were to choose one classical song to play for a person who's never heard classical before, I'd play them Jupiter-Gustav Holst. It's one that people have usually heard before from somewhere, in movies and tv, and it just makes you smile🙂
I love the planet
That’s an awesome piece of music too. I loved that whole piece from a very early age. Mars is a fantastic piece too.
@@dalebaker9109same, my dad gave me The Planets cd when I was 11yo and I was hooked. Mars is wonderful😊
Best 15 minutes of my day! Thanks J
I played Beethoven;s Fur Elise for a recital....beautiful!!!!
This has been one of my favorite pieces since my girlfriend played it for me in 1978.
Been a banger since Beethoven told me he dropped this album in 1809
@@mason698 best release ever
How I interpreted this piece: the 1st movement is a slow autumn rain turning to snow, the second a summer morning shower, the third a full blown thunderstorm
So very excited to see you reacting to classical music again - and it being Beethoven! Promise you will go listen to a classical, symphonic orchestra concert sometime. You would love it, Jovaughn!
Love this song. I used it for the memorial video I made for my dog several years ago.
“How do you even come up with this stuff?” That is the genius of Beethoven.
React to Mozart Requiem.
The whole thing?!

Yes please!
He did a part of it a few months ago, I think, but it was a short piece.
Love mozart!!!
This song can climb inside of you so deep and it is like 'soul breathing' touching on your deep emotions and transporting you to another place and time. Thanks for reacting to this one Jay
Hey.......do 'Rhapsody in Blue' by George Gershwin.
I love this. Please react next to
Ride of the Valkyries-Richard Wagner. It's my favorite😊
Hello from PHILADELPHIA, Jay. So glad to see you review some classical music like Beethoven. You are really expanding your music choices and you should be commended for that. Did you know Beethoven was deaf, too? Amazing, right? I continue to implore you to give a review of "Come Inside of My Heart" by Filipino band "IV of Spades." Very catchy song. I think you'll enjoy it. Take care. 😊🤙
Brings me back to playing this when I was very young. I haven’t played in years, but this was a favorite to play. My favorite composer was/is JS Bach. The two- and three-part inventions played by Glenn Gould are fantastic (and they’re relatively short to react to). Another Bach masterpiece is the “Double” Violin Concerto, Concerto for Two Violins in D minor performed by Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern. It’s in three movements, but all three are superb. 💜💜💜
It makes me cry in happiness and whole lot of Goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭 I am young and from the very few young people who do appreciate such pieces.
Beautiful piece.. you will, like Wynton Marsalis classical album songs ( he plays trumpet) soooo awsome!!! I love watching your amazement at these classics. Music is music and to appreciate it . True talent.
beethoven's 7th symphony movement 2 is an out of body experience! you should listen with your eyes closed, i promise its amazing!
Mussorgsky-Night on Bald Mountain, was my ringtone for my mother when i was a teenager🤣🤣
My daughter picked the Darth Vader theme for when I called her phone. Rather ominous I thought. 😕
One of my favorite classic pieces. When I played in a symphony I never got the chance to play Beethoven, a lot of Mozart and Vivaldi. A couple Bach pieces too. Great thing about Beethoven, his music is so relaxing, I listen to it when I have a hard time sleeping.
Opposite for me! Beethoven is up and down and tragic and dramatic. Bach is more playful, sweet, and relaxing for me.
The reason you had different images come to mind is because this music is not telling you about anything. It's not supposed to touch your mind. It is communicating with your emotional being. You are supposed to feel it, not think it.
Beethoven is my favorite composer. Great to a music reactor discovering his music.
This Masterpiece was my culmination of piano played from age 6 until Senior Year High School. I will never forget learning it. Still my absolute favorite of Beethoven’s.
I was lucky to go to Germany to see where he is buried.
I think all artists of all genres need to listen to some of the Great Masters. Just the timing is amazing in itself.
Great one tonight! Thanks!
Excellent Reaction!!!! And now you know where The Rock group Yes got their inspiration from!!!!
Great video, I enjoyed hearing your interpretation of the song and what you were thinking about while listening. Peace and love.
1st Movement gives me goosebumps, and the 3rd Movement just blows my mind. 🌹
Music, especially like this, works both sides of the brain and you're picking up on that :). This work is in movements, and each will sound a bit different. Great choice as usual thanks for sharing.
This is my favorite song by Beethoven! I listen to it during breakfast. It's amazing!
It's not a song bro
@@sebas5703 ok..sonata... thanks for the correction...
Thank you for reminding me about what it's like to hear my favourite music like it's the first time. If you like classical piano can I humbly suggest Friedrich Chopin? His Marche Funebre is beautiful as is Fantasise Impromptu. Also Felix Mendelson (spelling might be wrong) Fingal's Cave is a stunning piece for the orchestra. It's also known as The Hebrides overture.
*Chopin* Yes. ❤ exactly what I was looking for in these comments.
@@Eowyn187 Honestly I either tingle or cry when I hear Chopin, his work is beyond beautiful. 😍
You have to watch Olympic Gold medalists Gordeeva and Grinkov skate to Moonlight Sonata!
The three sections are called "movements". They always differ from each other. Symphonies also have movements like this.
It's so refreshing to see a young man obviously enjoying classical music. Good on you!
Another great piece of music 🎶 would The 1812 Overture 🤘🏼🤠
This is an absolute masterpiece!!!
Lovely. Thank you. You're a Class(ical) act.
Yes! Glad you got to listen to this masterpiece. Love your analysis of each movement.
I am delighted that you have heard some Beethoven, my favourite part is the 3rd movement (the fast bit). It was a joy watching you discover the 60s 70s and 80s classics, but the joy of you hearing Beethoven tops it all. Brilliant!
I am honestly so happy I found your channel a couple of months ago. The honest and cheerful way you are appreciating music is just so very captivating. Please, continue being such a good and openminded personality. :)
Hallo Javon, please react to "
Vivaldi - Four Seasons - Spring and Summer". Wonderful. Many Greetings from Cologne, Germany
Love this too.
Marion have you checked out the version by La Folia Barock Orchestra directed by Peter Müller published by the small German label Stockfish? It´s definitely something one has to get used to, but it´s absolutely wild and the attention to the sound quality is outstanding with Stockfisch. Grüße aus dem Rheinkreis Neuss
One of my favorite Beethoven pieces of music... incredible
Next one you should check out is Hungarian Rhapsody by Franz Liszt.
Love Liszt!
I play the piano and I love this song, and Beethoven in general.
Jayvee! You need to check out a great American symphonic composition - Appalachian Spring, by Aaron Copeland. It's an entire piece, divided into eight movements, but most of them aren't very long. You could knock them out in two groups of four. I think you would be immensely moved!
My kids high school band played this in competition in the late 90's. Won awards. He played tuba. Beautiful song.
My favorite classical piece. So emotional & exquisite...
Loved your reaction to this masterpiece. I'm so glad you're getting into classical music. This piece has 3 movements, that's why you noticed the huge differences.
This is one of those songs that has been sampled a lot in music by many different artists and genres of music. One of my absolute favorites. This is one of those rare songs that touch your soul.
Beautiful as usual,bravo to the performer!❤️
3 movements in this piece.
So happy that you’re doing Moonlight Sonata. Would love to have you react to River Man by Nick Drake.
This is a fairly simple piece of work from the great man. Always amazes me how these artists from the 1600 hundreds onwards had the ability to write such music as there was no way to hear your work fully until it was given to an orchestra. No recording playbacks then!
Beethoven made this in 1807
@@sebas5703 1801 actually. 12 years before he went completely deaf - and 22 years before he wrote his 9th symphony - today the hymn of the EU (at least the final part of it)
Mozart is amazing too, he started at a very young age and was called a 'wonder child'
I loved your comments on what you were hearing.
When my sister and I were kids our dad would play classical music for us and while we were listening he would ask us to draw what we heard. The one piece I really remember doing that with was The Grand Canyon Suite by Ferde Grofé.
Your analysis took me back to that time in my life, and that's something special about music like classical music that doesn't have lyrics to lead you where to go. Of course, composers have a story behind what they're writing, but it's also fun to just be swept away by what you feel when you listen to it.
My parents would also often put on a record of Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov and listen to it the living room after they put us to bed. I went to sleep many nights of my childhood to that piece of music. It is one of my favorites.
Might I also suggest you check out The Planets by Gustav Holst, especially the movement Mars.
A lot of people also mention Rachmaninoff. In 2011 the drum and bugle corps, Carolina Crown, had their show Rach Star which combined the music of Rachmaninoff with classic rock artists like Queen and The Rolling Stones and others.

You might find it interesting.
Music is my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes.
“Where words fail, music speaks.”
The places your journey has taken you....respect.
To me it feels like a gentle beginning and end. Like dusk hitting the earth and the gentle dance the moon and sun exchange. Much like our lives, fleeting soft, heavy and beautiful
I love how you describe what your feel throughout. This music is to be felt just as much as you listen to it. It's an entire experience in every piece.
Good for you for adding some classical. Of the three "biggest" (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach) Bach is by far my favorite. I also love Dvorak's New World Symphony. I'd be thrilled to listen with you to either, someday sooner than later.
One of my favorite musical piece's of music.
