The name "Baba" refers to Indian spiritual master Meher Baba, & the name "O'Riley" to minimalist composer Terry Riley. So for his 50th birthday bash, Roger Daltrey gets the Irish folk music group The Chieftains onstage, & off it goes for Symphonic Monday …

Thanks to everyone who keeps #SymphonicMonday going, even if I don't contribute much myself lately because Mondays and Tuesdays have been really exhausting for some time now 🥱

Today I have something though, here is The Danish National Symphony Orchestra playing some wonderful World of Warcraft music 💞

And there are a handful of rock tunes that basically have "To be played at maximum volume by an orchestra" on the master-tape label.

Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody" (1975)

Performed in 2013 by the Indiana University Studio Orchestra, with Sarah Harball on viola and Patrick Hunninghake on trumpet, Nicholas Hersh conducting.

Good morning all 🌞

Meet the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Here is a charming and fun Tiny Desk Concert performance of some songs from the Sweeney Todd musical for #SymphonicMonday 😍

NPR Music | InvidiousSweeney Todd: Tiny Desk ConcertJosh Rogosin | December 22, 2023 My parents brought me to see a production of Sweeney Todd when I was 10; I had nightmares for weeks. That may have been the beginning of my obsession with the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. "We're so grateful to sing Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece every single day," Josh Groban explains at the Tiny Desk. "He was so brilliant at juxtaposing the beautiful with the horrific." (It turns out that both Groban and I named our dogs "Sweeney Dog," something I learned when I introduced the cast.) Expect a wave of emotions throughout this performance: empathy for Sweeney (Groban) and Mrs. Lovett (Annaleigh Ashford) with their songs of vengeance and longing, "My Friends," and "By the Sea"; desire with the quartet's vocal counterpoint performed in "Johanna (Act 2 Sequence)"; laughter with the duet's performance of "A Little Priest." Incredibly, this Tiny Desk version of the musical is no less impactful — the 26-piece orchestra currently playing the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre gets a nine-piece orchestration courtesy of Jonathan Tunick, Sondheim's longtime collaborator, led by conductor Alex Lacamoire. Absolutely mesmerizing. SET LIST "My Friends" "By the Sea" "Johanna (Act 2 Sequence)" "A Little Priest" COMPOSER Stephen Sondheim ORCHESTRATIONS Jonathan Tunick CAST Josh Groban ("Sweeney Todd") Annaleigh Ashford ("Mrs. Lovett") Daniel Yearwood ("Anthony Hope") Maria Bilbao ("Johanna") Joanna Carpenter ("Beggar Woman") MUSICIANS Todd Palmer: clarinet Damian Primis: bassoon Sarah Boxmeyer: French horn John Chudoba: trumpet Kory Grossman: percussion Adam Rothenberg: piano, keyboard Anna Parks: violin Wayne Smith: cello Chiho Saegusa: bass Alex Lacamoire: conductor Randy Cohen: keyboard programmer David Lai: music supervisor TINY DESK TEAM Producer/Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin Director/Editor: Kara Frame Videographers: Kara Frame, Maia Stern, Joshua Bryant, Keren Carrión Series Producer: Bobby Carter  Audio Assistants: Valentina Rodríguez Sánchez, Neil Tevault Production Assistant: Ashley Pointer Photographer: Grace Widyatmadja Animation: Jackie Lay Tiny Desk Team: Suraya Mohamed, Lars Gotrich, Hazel Cills VP, Visuals and Music: Keith Jenkins Senior VP, Programming: Anya Grundmann #tinydesk #nprmusic #sweeneytodd
