And oboes are indeed the coolest of the wind instruments. Especially period oboes, or oboes di gamba. They sound like melodic ducks. Unlike the clarinet, my least favorite of the woodwinds, which sound like a sugared-up toddler on a whining jag. Once again, DD, your taste is excellent.

I find it's strings that work for me.

I've always been fond of cellos - I adore the Angel theme music (3 minute remix here , 3MB .mp3) - but after seeing Barrage perform a couple of months ago and picking up their DVD, I confess to a renewed appreciation for the fiddle.

And there's something about a harp... I've been a Loreena McKennitt fan for years.

And for people who get offended at Silver Moon posting this song....

They'd have been far more offended if they heard me sing it.

I for one find it highly amusing that a debate about the meaning of a word has become a comparison of wind instruments.

I love this place.

It's pretty true to the original - it's not... thematically different, if that makes sense.

But it's three minutes of cello-rock, and that can't be a bad thing

I'm not as big a strings fan, but violas and cellos have it all over violins, I agree. If you enjoy good music for the lower strings, grab a good copy of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings". Better known as the music from Platoon. A beautiful piece, and the violas and cellos get all the good stuff.

I also prefer my baroque and early music on period instruments. Gut strings really make a far more pleasant sound than metal strings.

Still, you get seven or eight really good fiddlers going to town, and I'm happy

If you ever get a chance to see Barrage live, go
