Yes, you're right. That's why I said "doesn't generally". :-)
I also really love the "Dies Irae" section from Verdi's Requiem which is
a great choral part (often played in movies during the really dramatic
sections). It's amazing, especailly at high volume. :) I also really
like Gorecki's 3rd Symphony and Wagner's "Siegfried's Funeral March"
(used in Excalibur) among others. I was just trying to imply that I
am a bigger fan of symphonic classical than of opera or choral pieces.
Like most things for me, there are exceptions.
Also, to the person who said that "the guy who wants a good
foot tapping tune" wouldn't like the new King Crimson, I actually am
a fan of KC, though not a huge one. However, I agree that they wouldn't
be on my list of great vocal/music melody bands. ;-)
