Morning music
on: January 24, 2009, 08:40:32 AM
What music do you like to listen to or play in the morning?

I've found myself often listening to Julius Eastman's Stay On It.  Simple minimalisty piece that just brightens my morning.

I did an experiment at college where i listend to a different composer first thing in the morning to see if it had any major effect on my mood for the day

and it did for the first part then relative events of the day changed my mood accordinly


of course these are all relative o the pieces as well so I experimented with them

Mozart operatic highlights put me in a better mood than Weberns piano music

and the Beethoven symphonies made me feel like i could take on the world

but I generally go for Waltzes or Scherzos something to put me initaly in a good mood
