What is some good faster paced orchestra/classical music?

[Sukhoi]

Stuff like O Fortuna by Carl Orff. The kind of music played during war scenes in movies, etc.

 

[sdifox]

Err, usually whole pieces are not fast. Normally they start slow then build up. O Fortuna is a movement of Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis.

And it's not orchestral. It's a cantata.

the requiem for a dream soundtrack from kronos quartet

 

[Howard]

First movement of Beethoven's 5th.

 

[ed21x]

aaron copland's Rodeo or Simple Gifts.

 

[Steve]

John Rutter's 'Gloria' - 1st and 3rd movements. May as well get the 2nd mvmt too, the whole piece is only like 20 minutes long.

 

[KLin]

Vivaldi, Spring
In the Hall of the Mountain King

 

[Canai]

Dvorak : New World Symphony

One of my favorites

 

[sygyzy]

Bond

 

[Legendary]

Winter from the Four Seasons (except the middle part)
It's rare you'll find a whole piece that's fast. Usually the 2nd movement of classical pieces are slow (Largo, Andante)
Chopin has quite a bit of quick piano music.

 

[ed21x]

check out paganini. he rocks.

 

[Fourier Transform]

Beethoven's 9th

Mozart's Requiem (just the chorus)

Matrix 3 soundtrack (Don Davis) - Navras (credits music) & Neodammerung (Neo - Smith fight scene music)

stravinski - firebird suite

 

[SaltBoy]

Daphnis and Chloe by Maurice Ravel. The whole piece (about an hour long) is gorgeous, but the ending will knock your socks off.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Flight of the Bumblebee!

 

[Sukhoi]

Ah fantastic, I'll check those out!

[EGGO]

Real classical music or can it be made today? If made today I have plenty.

 

[Sukhoi]

Oh modern is fine.

mozart: Requiem: Dies Irae http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...A&mode=related&search=

Holst's The planets....Mars is the most upbeat. JPL video with Holst's Mars

A little offshoot....Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malamsteen are more rock classical

I could think of many more if I wasnt so tired

don't forget Trans Siberian Orchestra.

oh, and Jupiter is a more up-beat movement than Mars, IMO

I like the drive that Mars has....similar to Orff's O Fortuna in Carmina Burana. Jupiter is just more grandiose (Jupiter = Zeus). The whole suite is awesome!

How could I forget the Trans Siberian Orchestra, or Apocalyptica?

Yup....many good works by him

Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain is pretty good as well

Don't forget about "modern" (movie soundtrack) classical: John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Klaus Baldet

Just download some Apocalyptica.
