Ear culture?
I have been on a real classical music kick as of late, as it's less distracting than the modern, wordy kind when I'm trying to work.
Unfortunately, I didn't bring my classical CDs with me, so I only have a few songs I ripped or downloaded. Among these, I think my current favorites are:
Borodin - String Quartet #2 in D major
Canteloube - Bailero
Chopin - Etude opus 10, #3
Offenbach - Barcarolle
Satie - Gymnopédie #1
What are some of your favorite pieces?

Actually, anything by any 20th Century French or Russian composer is right up my street.
Oh, and Mozart's Requiem. And Faur's Requiem.
And among the truly modern composers, I'd have to say Valentin Silvestrov, John Taverner, Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Max Richter.

I like the one in that VW commercial where the leaf is flying around. Anyone know what song that is?
I also like Firebird Suite and Carnivale. I once sang a Debussy piece about clouds.

Debussy - Clair de Lune (yeah, I know - clichd as all hell, but I like it)
Rachmaninov - all four piano concertos
Stravinsky - Rite of Spring
Oooooh. Loads of stuff.
