 Uhsting compiles 4 discs of classical music, essential for getting to venture into music history and appreciate the art of music spanning centuries. The 4 discs are roughly divided according to the 4 major eras in classical music: Baroque and before, Classical, Romantic, Modern. Each era has its own unique style and a rich history waiting for you to be explored. The pieces are selected to reflect the typical music you'll find in the period. You may have heard a lot of the famous pieces before but there are also a couple of lesser known works by equally important composers of the time. Disc 1 includes pieces from the Baroque period and before, which predates Renaissance and Medieval times. Johann Sebastian Bach is perhaps the most influential composer in this period. He is considered by many as the "father of music", mainly due to his contributions in the fundamentals of music theory. In this period, you will typically find rather structured, contrapuntal and simply-instrumented music. The period lays foundation to the sheer complexity of styles you find later on. Strings are very common in this period. Choral music is also another highlight in this period, especially earlier in time. A lot of the hymns and sacred music can be found around this time, but secular music is equally as important and influential. Perhaps the most influential of all here is "Dies Irae", which contains a motif that has been modified and revolved around in many scary film soundtracks (as well as the Squid Games soundtrack). Disc 2 includes pieces from the Classical period. This is probably the least diverse period out of the 4. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is perhaps the most well-known composer here, and you may have heard a lot of his works in childhood classical music albums. I have also loopholed to include works from Ludwig van Beethoven and Hector Berlioz, though they could technically be classified as Romantic period composers. The reason to include them is that they are pioneers for the Romantic period, and as you study music history, these two composers are frequently mentioned on their impact. Disc 3 includes pieces from the Romantic period. This period is perhaps the most well-known period and many famous pieces are originated from this era. There is a lot to include here so it could have been made into 4 discs dedicated only to this period. This period is also when a lot of modern instruments are invented. Orchestras became much larger and diverse. The sounds also vary hugely, from as simple as piano-only works, to large-scale ensembles like orchestras, and even bigger like operas that could last for hours. Disc 4 includes pieces from the 20th and 21st century. This is when art music (the traditional instrumental stuff) and popular music (like the ones you listen on the radio these days). This is also the period when composers start to experiment more with sounds through a completely different set of rules for harmony (e.g. twelve-tone technique), a divergence in the usual vibe (e.g. impressionism) and the use of everyday objects. Even then, there are still a lot of pieces harking back to the older sounds or maintaining. This is also the period where classical music becomes commercialised in the form of film and game soundtracks. Of course, I include 4'33'' which highlights how far composers can go with experimentation. Music has always played a key role in many parts of our daily lives. It shapes our cultural identity. It influences political movements. It is a reflection of the economic and societal status. I hope you enjoy the compilation of classical music spanning different eras in classical music, and hope you develop a newfound appreciation!  Whole playlist Disc 1 Disc 2 Disc 3 Disc 4 |

Wonderful, thank you so much for putting this together, I look forward to listening to this, and love that it's split into those four distinct eras.

  We are delighted to reveal our first collection from the noughties, my favourite year of the decade for music...2006! We started putting this together before Now released their Now Millennium tracklist for 2006. Of course many songs are the same but I'm afraid we left a few on our shortlist, while others (looking at you Ronan's Iris...and Death Cab For Cutie) never even made it that far. Disc 1 kicks off with the year's biggest seller. Crazy by Gnarls Barkley was one of those almost genre-less songs that came out of nowhere to be a huge smash - with nine weeks at No.1, including debuting there on the strength of downloads alone - a very big deal at the time. The soulful theme continues with the legendary Rehab by Amy Winehouse - whose star went stratospheric in 2006, and Lily Allen's debut hit, the summer No.1 single Smile. We then move through to the poppy R&B side with the Timbaland produced hits Maneater by Nelly Furtado and SexyBack by Justin Timberlake while this pop R&B and soul/throwback disc continues with big hits from The Pussycat Dolls, Black Eyed Peas, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna and more. Rap choices from Akon & Eminem with their No.1 single Smack That, Chamillionaire, The Notorious B.I.G. and Kanye West prove the strength of the material some of these superstars were releasing this year while the disc concludes with more R&B pop and ballads from the likes of Cassie, Fergie, Ne-Yo, Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige/U2. Disc 2 is our pop disc and starts with the year's other huge hit - the summer anthem Hips Don't Lie by Shakira and Wyclef Jean, which managed five weeks at the top in two separate runs (separated by a three week gap in the middle). The big No.1 from Scissor Sisters, I Don't Feel Like Dancin', follows, and then hits from P!nk, the triumphant comeback single Patience by reformed 90s boyband Take That - a No.1 late in the year, and more mellow moments from the year's bright new British talents Corinne Bailey Rae, James Morrison and Paolo Nutini. The José González cover of Heartbeats is up next, and then more hit ballads from James Blunt, Will Young, Shayne Ward, the Christmas No.1 from X Factor winner Leona Lewis, and Breaking Free from the year's teen phenomenon High School Musical. American Idol winners Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood also appear (the latter's country classic Before He Cheats not a hit here but has become a very well known song over time) before the guitar pop of McFly and Orson and closing with more pop hits from Jamelia, the returning All Saints, a classic from Jamie T and the MySpace wonder Sandi Thom with her memorable No.1 single I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (with Flowers In My Hair). Disc 3 One of the strongest genres in 2006 was rock and indie, and whittling down the available choices to one disc was no easy task. The disc kicks off with one of the year's most enduring singles, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, which had a mammoth chart run despite only peaking at No.6. Other acts doing well included Razorlight, with their only No.1 single, America, and Arctic Monkeys with their second chart topper, When The Sun Goes Down. Brighton band Kooks provided two classic singles that year but Naive gets the nod for this compilation, while other modern classics from Fratellis, The Automatic and The Zutons follow, along with Boys Will Be Boys, which hit the top three for The Ordinary Boys following lead singer Preston's stint on Celebrity Big Brother. The rock hits don't let up, with Muse, Kasabian, Editors, The Killers, The Raconteurs and Coldplay all on top form, as were Embrace with their biggest ever hit - the rousing No.2 single Nature's Law. Keane had another successful year, while there is also space for the 60s throwback sound of Pull Shapes by The Pipettes, who were highly acclaimed critically. The Feeling were another successful new British act in 2006 but we round off the disc with five strong hits from the US - Chris Cornell's Bond theme, Red Hot Chili Peppers with their joint highest peaking single, and emo classics from Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco and the epic No.1 single Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance to round off proceedings. Disc 4 And dance and dance/pop was just as strong a genre in 2006, with the return of Eurodance courtesy of huge No.2 singles from Cascada and Infernal kicking off this fourth disc in style. Madonna's second No.1 in a row, Sorry, fits well among the dance, as does Girls Aloud's thumping Something Kinda Ooooh, their biggest selling hit in many years. Neighbours has delivered many chart hits over the years and scheming Izzy was next up with Voodoo Child by actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte's band Rogue Traders. The epic guitar dance song was memorably used in an episode of Doctor Who and is still highly regarded. Electro house had a successful return to the charts with a memorable top two late in the year from Fedde Le Grand and Bodyrox feat. Luciana, appearing next to each other here, but one of the biggest genres was still the looped house samples of older 70s and 80s hits that had been doing the rounds since Call On Me went to No.1 in 2004. So hits from Meck feat. Leo Sayer, Sunblock, Hi-Tack and Beatfreakz all make an appearance before more memorable tracks from Supermode, Armand Van Helden and the winter No.2 hit from Booty Luv, plus Paul Oakenfold feat. Brittany Murphy and Chicane feat. Tom Jones before a couple of cool cuts from Justice v Simian and Hot Chip, the third run in the top ten for another remix of You Got The Love by The Source & Candi Staton, and rounding off with the magic and unique hit Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós. |

Just amazing. Great work, gd. This overflows with great stuff and perfectly sums up the year. So many memories attached to these songs.
My favourite single of the year had to be excluded - a Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright's duet Set the Fire to the Third Bar.😭 |

Also, well done to Scene for getting 3 of the 4 opening tracks, while MCR could feasibly have opened or closed!

Singles in my top 20 of the year left off (that charted here) included: Everybody's Gone To War by Nerina Pallot (on balance, not really well remembered enough sadly) Teenage Life by Daz Sampson (just wasn't as big as some of the other pop/dance) Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado & Timbaland (due to our one song per artist rule for these years) LDN by Lily Allen (ditto) Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescence (we just had so much possible rock to include that it got edged out) |

Amazing as always, insta saving this for later. Lots of great inclusions and a few songs I don’t remember by name but I’m sure I will know them once I play it
Especially loving that Disc 2 starts at Shakira, gets to High School Musical, and then ends up at Sandi Thom :lol. |
