Morning Classics | A selection of famous classical music pieces recommended for those who want to wake up feeling good (51–60)
Opera Carmen Act 2, Flower Song: “This flower that you threw to me”Georges Bizet
When thinking of works that suit the morning, many people probably imagine string quartets or solo piano.
Of course, many such pieces do create a leisurely morning atmosphere, but opera holds its own as well.
That’s why I’d like to recommend “La fleur que tu m’avais jetée” (the Flower Song) from Act II of the opera Carmen.
It’s one of the many masterpieces from Carmen, unfolding with an exquisitely graceful melody.
If you want to spend a calm, unhurried morning, this is a must-listen.
Water MusicHenderu
A work in which majestic and resplendent orchestral melodies resound with beauty.
Composed by Handel for a boating party on the River Thames in July 1717, this piece musically depicts the gentle flow of the river.
The rich sonorities woven by a variety of instruments—such as horns, oboes, and strings—create an elegant, soothing atmosphere, like light shimmering on the water’s surface.
Even today, its universal appeal is evident in its use as the theme music for NHK-FM’s “Enjoying Early Music” and as the departure melody at Kyoto Station.
It is a recommended piece for tasks or study that require concentration, or whenever you wish to quietly calm your mind.
Album for the Young, Op. 68 No. 41 “Nordic Song”Robert Alexander Schumann
Robert Schumann’s masterpiece Album for the Young is a collection of 43 pieces in two parts, as the title suggests, written for children.
Many of the pieces are gentle and perfectly suited to mornings, but the one I especially recommend as morning BGM is No.
41, “Nordic Song,” from Album for the Young, Op.
68.
Its slightly wistful mood makes it a perfect fit for a dark, rainy morning.
Be sure to check it out.
