Classical Music

Classical music is

a broad, formal tradition of Western art music spanning from roughly 1000 AD to the present, rooted in European secular and religious traditions. While often associated with the 1750–1820 Classical era (Haydn, Mozart), it actually covers several distinct periods—Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century.

Symphony No.9, 2nd Movement (New World)

1893 Antonín Dvořák

In the Hall of the Mountain King

Edvard Grieg 1875

Triumphal March from Aida

Giuseppe Verdi 1871

Toreador Song from Carmen

Georges Bizet 1903

This melody was composed by German musicians Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 for a Highland games held in Germany. It has been proposed as the Scottish national anthem to replace unofficial anthems "Scotland the Brave" and "Flower of Scotland". It has subsequently undergone various orchestrations and had lyrics added in English and in Scottish Gaelic.
