Audio clips used reccurringly around the Validate Your Life network. I have tremendous respect for the musicians, composers, and conductors that created what I consider to be “auditory medicine”.

Johannes Brahms (German composer from Romantic Era). Symphony 04 in E minor, Op. 98. Third Movement. 1885.
- Usage-Appearance: Voice Journals
- Comments: A masterpiece. Mathematically this loops and has tremendous complexity. This will be discussed in one of the classical music posts.

Primal Scream (Scottish Alternative Rock Band from 1982 to Present). Trainspotting. 1996.
- Usage-Appearance: Linuxgeekoid Posts
- Comments: A favourite song for many years that seems to combine jazz with techno with downbeat (if that’s even possible). A soothing but decidedly electronic beat, this one is great for the tech-related posts.
-
Gustav Holst (English Composer from Modern Era) . The Planets, Op. 32. 1914-1916.
- Usage-Appearance: Most all Audio Blog 2.0 Posts (Audio Blogs from 2011 and later) and All the original Validate Your Life Audio Blog 1.0 Posts.

Ludwig van Beethoven (German Composer from Classical-Romantic Era). Symphony 09 in D minor, Op. 125. First Movement. 1824.
- Usage-Appearance: A few of the NLP Practitioner Series Podcasts and possibly future posts.
- Comments: Historically, Beethoven’s last symphony, this piece is serious to the point of almost being ominous, and is a brooding piece with a lot of depth but one of decided quality.
- Note: It’s difficult to classify Beethoven’s “Era” because arguably he started composing in the Classical Era, but then definitively wrote the first ever Romantic Era composition and was the first (or at least the most crucial) initial Romantic composer. Essentially, whether he was aware of catalyzing this pivotal musical shift or not, Beethoven launched the Romantic Era.

Johann Sebastian Bach (German Composer from the Baroque Era). Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Allegro Third Movement. 1721.
- Usage-Appearance: None yet.
- Comments: Screaming fast, jubilant tempo makes this a very galvanizing and upbeat piece, and one that almost always produces a smile (often a tear) because of its electricity. There are many pieces of classical I would love my musically-inexperienced hands (and/or voice) to learn how to play, but this is one of the most admirable.
