# Música clássica

Música clássica é a música artística produzida ou enraizada nas tradições da música ocidental, incluindo música litúrgica (religiosa) e secular.
       - We consider classical music to be the epitome and quintessence of our culture, because it is that culture’s clearest, most significant gesture and expression. In this music we possess the heritage of classical antiquity and Christianity, a spirit of serenely cheerful and brave piety, a superbly chivalric morality. For in the final analysis every important cultural gesture comes down to a morality, a model for human behavior concentrated into a gesture.

       - "Kõrgeauline Ankhi hertsog, komandör Samuel Vimes ei olnud inimene, kes oleks innukalt külastanud klassikalise muusika ettekandeid või üldse kuulanud muusikat, mida ei saa koduteel vilistada. Kuid nähtavasti käis suure nina eluga kaasas nõue käia ooperi- ja balletiteatris ning nii paljudel muusikalistel üritustel, kui paljudele Sybil teda ainult vedada jõudis. Õnneks on sellistes kohtades tavaliselt olemas loož ja Sybil, kes oli Vimesi etendusele vedanud, ei vedanud teda pärast targu teadvusele. Kuid midagi imbus ikkagi läbi ja sellest piisas, et Vimes saaks aru, et see, mida ta praegu kuulis, oli tõeline kõrgema klassi kraam: seda ei saanud ümiseda ja selle vahele ei karjunud keegi: "Juhuu ja tidlitompsti!" See oli puhas, ehtne muusika, helid tekitasid peaaegu soovi põlvili langeda ja lubada, et sinust saab parem inimene."

       - Its moody, bass-heavy opening already suggests the storm clouds are gathering, the shivering strings that follow suggesting disquiet even as the woodwind present the first theme. But then comes a remarkable key change, brought courtesy of the horns, and a songful new theme is played by the cellos – one of those melodies which seem to have always been part of our consciousness without our knowing it (perhaps helped by the fact it has been used in so many films, ranging from Bela Lugosi thrillers to Spielberg’s The Minority Report). But this proves something of a false dawn, as the introduction returns – possibly first with the repeat of the movement’s opening ‘exposition’, treated as optional by some conductors; and the mood as it opens the development section that follows the exposition (repeated or not) becomes more than sombre, apparently sinking into a great abyss as the upper strings seem to play that opening theme in anguish. Quite how Schubert climbs out of that dark pit is for you, the listener, to discover. Anyone needing reassurance may know that the clouds are dispersed in the serene second movement, a perfect complement to the first movement’s night time of the soul. Altogether, it’s a work once heard never forgotten.
