If you have never listened to Bulgarian choral music, you are missing some of the most amazing stuff out there. The vowels are quite a bit brighter than Western ears may be used to, but the laser-sharp intonation cuts right through to your soul.

There is no escape from the relentless aggression of this string quartet.

Shostakovich - String Quartet no. 8, mvmt 2.
Dover Quartet

This song sets up a hell of a groove, but you will NOT be ready for the funk to drop in from left field a few minutes in.

Jacob Collier - With The Love In My Heart

This song kicks so much ass it isn't even funny.

I got put on the spot at choir rehearsal tonight. Our actual conductor was occupied at the moment, and I was asked by our accompanist to conduct a piece I had only ever sung before, with no prep. It was literally, hey can you come up and conduct this? Oh, and can you sing the opening solo for us now that you're up there?

I didn't make a complete ass of myself, and the choir was super attentive and kind, so I'll take that as a win.

I found this years ago and just rediscovered it. SO awesome.

A pipe organ tribute to Michael Jackson performed at Trinity Church Wall Street, NYC. You'll hear a few different themes, but I especially like the fugue on 'ABC'.

Also gets and tags because of the compositional techniques used.
