I stumbled on an awesome note on my friend's FB page. It starts like this:
"Name 5 pieces of classical music that make you want to shout "TOUCHDOWN!!!" or otherwise reach for the metaphorical cigarette. Let's see how many we can get without repeating any. Do the cut and paste thing and add to the first 5 that came to my mind, and tag whomever you'd like when you're done..."
Things like Brandenburg 1, the one with the horn trio.
So comment. What are your "touchdown" pieces?
