#ClassicsaDay #AltBaroque Week 1
The challenge is to post music by Baroque composers -- but not by the Big Three: Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi.
#Classicsaday #Classical1924 Week 2
For the first month of the new year, the Classics a Day team looks back a century. So the challenge for January 2024 is to post performances of classical works that were either composed, premiered, or first recorded in 1924.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalA Week 2
There are actually quite a few. And I even found some whose first and last names began with A! Here are my posts for the second week of #ClassicalA of the #ClassicsaDay challenge.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalMexico Week 3
Mexico has four centuries of classical music to choose from. Here are my selections for the third week of #ClassicalMexico.
#ClassicsaDay #Summerof78s Week 1
The Classics a Day team declares July the Summer of 78. Or rather, the summer of 78s. For July, post recordings that were originally issued on 78 rpm discs.
#ClassicsaDay #UkrainianClassics Week 3
The challenge is to post music from Ukrainian composers. Some were subjects of Imperial Russia. Others were citizens of the USSR. And some live in the independent nation of Ukraine.
#ClassicsaDay #WomensHistoryMonth Week 4, 2022
The Classics a Day team chose Women's History Month as the theme for March. Actually, it's been the March theme for the past five years. And there are still many composers to explore.
#ClassicsaDay #ClassicalSummer Week 2 2021
The idea is to post performances from summer festivals, either past or present. Some of these events have been going on for decades (if not centuries) so there's a lot to choose from.
#Classicsaday #BlackHistoryMonth Week 2
The Classics a Day team has celebrated Black composers before. There is a lot of classical music by persons of color, both in the past as well as the present. A lot.
