Higgin's Choice of Music

#1 Post by T.Q. »

Is anyone into it?

Don't know much about classical.

Violin vs viola?

Any suggestions?
Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

I’m no expert but here’s a suggestion for you. Google classical music used in films and you might be surprised how much you have heard before. Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings gained new attention for its use in Platoon. In the opera category, Wagner’s Flight of the Valkyries is well known from Apocalypse Now, and the opening of Raging Bull features the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana by Mascagni. The Looney Tunes “What’s Opera Doc?” was many people’s first introduction to that genre. If you meant you wanted to hear something Higgins listened to in the series, I’m not sure of any specific titles.

Good simple suggestion.

Thanks Pahonu.

Now what did Higgins listen to specifically? :lol:

I've just finished viewing 3.5 "Black on White". While in Quarantine, Higgins, dressed with smoking and drinking brandy, is listening what sounds like Mozart concerto for piano an violin.

perfect match for him. :higgins:
