Militaristic Classical Music

I posted the other ones.

I know Rieu is normie and all I just for some reason enjoyed that video. I will steer clear though.

Definitely. I'm going to listen to that all the way through.


Thank you for the suggestions. A lot of those I've listened to, and many aren't exactly what I was talking about. I was thinking more of compositions like Holst's Mars and O Fortuna. Music that made you feel as if you were in the middle of an epic battle.

Shamefur dispray, kameraden!

Despite not being classical, these compositions really scratch that militaristic, imperial feel.

Why am I even alive?

I strongly prefer Romance music (which is the height of classical). I haven't delved too deep until more recently although I've always liked it, I've realized I couldn't fully appreciate it without my waifu's inspiration and presence; the music gives you the wind to your sails but only after you've found yourself on the ship and ready to embark.

For OP, this symphony has some intense moments but is generally romantic and definitely adventurous.

Forget "hormones," it's all about the harmonization of the soul.


I have listened to the whole ring cycle and Parsifal. Parsifal has wonderful music but in terms of the libretto I certainly prefer the Ring with Siegfried being my favourite part. Wagner's operas will appeal to different people in different ways (depending which archetypes you resonate with better, if any at all); you may like Tristan und Isolde or Parsifal more than I did. All the music in the operas are otherworldly (naturally, it is Wagner of course) regardless of the story and while Tristan und Isolde didn't really click with me the overture and Liebestod are some of the most romantic pieces of music ever made. Parsifal and Tristan probably have the best overtures but in terms of the opera the Ring cycle is incredible to me.

Do yourself a favour and avoid every interpretation but Karajan conducting the BPO. When you listen to Wagner you have to listen to the best possible.

So besides the study linked to here>>8343897
what other studies show that music influences hormone levels? Is there a study that specifically shows classical music raises testosterone?

There is 0 evidence to support that. If it were true then /fit/ would be playing the harps accord while nude admiring each others asses.
