Hi, this isnât what Iâm usually posting, but I really like 20th/21st century classical music and talking about music in general, and I want to share some pieces that I really enjoy even if it means like only one person reads this :)) (also check tags for some info)
Music for 18 Musicians â Steve Reich
minimalist piece, itâs very light and airy. VERY feel-good, excellent for when you need to focus on writing or reading and you need something to blend into the background. Think nature documentaries, or Altoâs Adventure if youâre familiar. Section IIIA is probably my favorite out of the piece, and one of the most âintenseâ of the sections.
https://youtu.be/ZXJWO2FQ16c
String Quartet Nos. 4 and 5 â Phillip Glass
MORE minimalist piecesâ these are usually very accessible, and always fun to listen to.
4 - Just. Very beautiful. Canât pick a fave out of this one, tbh.
5 - bc itâs minimalism, thereâs a heavy emphasis on rhythm. So, thereâs a lot of changing time signatures. That being said, my fave movement out of this one would prob be Mvt. III
https://youtu.be/tr_xhO02Ikw
Symphony No. 1 â William Grant Still
An amazing early century work, heavily influenced by blues and jazzâ both in harmony and rhythm. My favorite movement for this one would be Mvt. I, it just pushes and pulls SO beautifully.
https://youtu.be/8hzFcm6HCeI
Blue Cathedral â Jennifer Higdon
Absolutely gorgeous one-mvt piece, ethereal in some parts. Honestly that sums it up as well as I can, itâs just very very good.
https://youtu.be/-8E06h8pZiY
Short Ride in a Fast Machine â John Adams
Itâs just. So good. Another one-mvt piece, this one plays around with rhythms and such, as you do, and that opening woodblock is so fucking iconic???
https://youtu.be/5LoUm_r7It8
The Planets â Gustav Holst
One that a lot of us are probably familiar with, yes, a basic choice, but damn. If you know The Planets, thereâs also a good chance you know that this is the thing that influenced the Star Wars soundtrack! (I actually havenât seen a Star Wars movie all the way thru, but a cool fact nonetheless.) my fave movements would be Jupiter and Neptune bc I canât pick one OOPS.
https://youtu.be/be7uEyyNIT4
Fire in my Mouth and Dig Deep â Julia Wolfe
Mrs. Wolfe. My personal fave. She has SO MUCH GOOD STUFF???? Not necessarily minimalistic, but def has aspects like overlapping and complex rhythms
Fire in my Mouth â four movement oratorio based on the women who passed in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, absolutely chilling. I teared up many times listening to this, bc of both the sound and the message. I would recommend reading the libretto while listening for some more context, which is free on her website. If you like this, Iâd also recommend Anthracite Fields and Steel Hammer.
https://youtu.be/HuaY-SD8-XM
(just the first mvt oops)
Dig Deep â a one-mvt string quartet with heavy, driving rhythms and little flutters of melody at first. It gets more frantic, somehow, as it goes on but itâs SO GOOD.
https://youtu.be/_qEjNu5Skhw
The Rite of Spring â Igor Stravinsky
Probably the other one most of us are familiar with, but worth mentioning anyway. My fave movement would have to be Mvt. IV, when he takes that melody heard in Mvt II (a close second) and makes it darker, and recontextualizes it into a minor key. Chills every time.
https://youtu.be/EkwqPJZe8ms
Concerto Grosso No. 1 â Alfred Schnittke
20th century polystylist piece. A little less accessible based on reactions Iâve seen to this one, but,,, itâs SO SO good. A lot of dissonance and such, very varied sounds within. My favorite movement would def have to be Mvt. II â Toccata. Itâs SO energetic, and then the harpsichord that comes in?? And the theme variates in this just absolutely frenzied and intense way??? GOD. Might be my absolute favorite.
https://youtu.be/M3Xehs1rHfM
Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (8â37ââ) â Krzysztof Penderecki
An intense title, yes. An experimental piece that uses indeterminacy and a lot of tone clusters. Itâs VERY cool for what it is as an experiment of sound.
https://youtu.be/Pu371CDZ0ws
There are a BUNCH more that I could mention but this is so long LMAO.

If you feel like youâve seen this alread, thatâs normal. This list of recommendation has been previously posted on my first account @praestantias which has been deleted for some reasons. So here I am, reposting it.Â
Hating how elitist and eurocentric the dark academia community became, I would truly appreciate that you leave some recommendation of book written by people of color, for I noticed that I am guilty of the eurocentric part, but I am really want to educate myself and read more non-white books.Â
Thank you for your suggestions!
if you really want to know someoneâs soul- truthfully and deeply, watch them while theyâre candid. do they smile unconsciously while they read? furrow their brows when kneading dough? hum their favourite songs when they think no one is listening? what mug do they go for when they make their morning coffee? a person is a truly curious thing to behold.

Love is the bridge between you and everything.
(via goodreadss)
I love you because you are you, and because you taught me how to understand âŚThus you increased me.. My eyes need [you] âŚand my heart is happy about you.
(via goodreadss)
Do not be too moral. You may chest yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
Henry David Thoreau (via goodreadss)
âThe lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.â - Friedrich Nietzsche
I walk around the world like a ghost, and sometimes I question whether I even exist. Whether Iâve ever existed at all.

Pride & Prejudice (2005), dir. Joe Wright
Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you⌠I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my familyâs expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.
Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute.
Edgar Allan Poe, âToâ (via amargedom)
