For someone like me who doesn't know very much about classical music this is a wonderful introduction.

Thank you so much.

Some of it is very popular type classical IMO. But great and inspiring music nonetheless. I would have included (though it may not be part of your criteria) an excerpt from the Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky and Guglielmo Tell by Gioachino Rossini. You can't fit them all in sometimes.

@bighugejake: I agree that some of the pieces are popular, which attracted me to classical music to begin with. I became interested in classical music after hearing Vivaldis Four Seasons on public radio. I loved the outdoor performances of Beethovens ninth symphony. I discovered that a popular old Bollywood film song was based on Mozarts G Minor theme. I had Rite of Spring in mind and some Tchaikovsky pieces, but having decided on a dozen works, had to leave out a lot of great material.

Yeah, I totally understand. There's no way anyone could ever do justice to all the world's beautiful classical music in an appreciation video.

@euch27 You may be right in your observation, but I am not so sure. According to the Wikipedia green flashes are optical phenomena that occur shortly after sunset or before sunrise, when a green spot is visible above the sun for a second or two. My video taken near Los Angeles, CA shows the entire sun becoming momentarily greenish off and on during a span of about 10 seconds. I dont know what to call this phenomenon.
