Queen, Love of My Life - A Classical Musician’s First Listen, Reaction, and Study
This is the first Rock piece that I took the time to listen to. It seems appropriate that it came from the iconic The Queen. It really surprised me — harp, piano, and Freddie Mercury’s stunningly expressive voice — not at all what I had associated with Rock music! The trouble Brian May had to go through in order to play the harp part of the piece, Freddie Mercury’s Classical influence, and the source of inspiration for the piece are some of the things I discovered along the way. Let me know what your thoughts are about this beautiful piece of music!
