Hi! I play jazz music (and have sung it, but not lately). I even write a little jazz music, too.
 
i like 20th century composers almost exclusively

examples

Copleland
Vauhgn Williams
Bartok
Shostakovich
Prokofiev
Ravel
Debussy
Glass
Stravinsky
Takemitsu
Britten
Khachaturian
Taich
Holst
Barber


i like all these fellas.

Major and Minor theory morphed into the the modal harmonic theory in the early years of the century, and along with art everywhere, changed drasticallty as modernity took hold.

nothing like following the Ramones with a little concerto for orchestra by Bartok. Now that was punk.







:p :rose:

Thank you all.

Now? OK.

I agree 100% and only drew a blank with the choral music. I've made a note and will check it out.

Music makes my life worth living. It's so important to me. My tastes are totally eclectic, be it classical, jazz or popular.

I can't post my favourite composers. It would take all night. My new love is the voice of the counter tenor - so pure and sweet.

Music - to me - is a mood thing.

I could go rambling on like this - but I see you shuffling uncomfortably and looking over my shoulder.......

NOnsense. You know I could talk music with you for hours!

If you like countertenor music, and haven't done so, check out a group called "Chanticleer". Theyr'e an a cappella group that does everything from traditional chant to modern jazz. Their vocal range is staggering and boast two or three countertenors among them.

I have heard them, yes. Out of San Francisco, I think. I don't own any of their CDs though.

I just discovered Anreas Scholl. Some of his stuff is a bit rich and flowery - but what a voice.

Do you like Carl Orff's Carmina Burana?

LOL. I'd be afraid of disease anyway.

Wasn't Mozart a kind of "Rock Legend" of his time?
 
Depends on my mood...

Beethoven's 9th is my overall favorite. Not just the famous Ode to Joy chorus at the end, but the whole symphony. Some interesting musical experimentation throughout, and even humor: when the theme seems to wander around lost, Beethoven suddenly goes up and down the scale as a joke, before switching to a new theme.

Sometimes I'm more in the mood for a good Strauss waltz. Or Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, or Handel's Water Music. 4th of Jluy always makes me want to listen to Handel's Suite for the Royal Fireworks and of course Tchaikowski's 1812 Overture. I also like Pachelbel's Canon in D, Bach's Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and Raspighi's The Birds.

As I said, depends on my mood.
 
Many good answers, but they have missed (among others) the remarkable Poulenc, perhaps over a semantic question as to just who can be called a classical composer.

His music was the "pop" music of the day I suppose, so - yes.


They dug his wig I think. ;)

Sweet Jeezly - it's impossible to list them all. This would be the perpetual thread to end all perpetual threads.

I've heard them live.

If they perform anywhere within 50 miles of you, don't miss it.

(Now playing: Palestrina: Missa pro Defunctis; Chanticleer)
 
Other excellent vocal groups include The Hilliard Ensemble, The Clerks' Group, and The Tallis Scholars. If you're a purist, be forewarned that the latter two do use women for the Soprano parts.
 
Went to a concert last Friday, in fact. Heard Stravinsky's "Fireworks" and "Symphony in Three Movements" conducted by Oliver Knussen. He also conducted his own composition, "Flourish with Fireworks", and led Peter Serkin in the world premiere of Peter Lieberson's Piano Concerto No. 3.
 
Instrumentally, J.S. Bach has no peer. One cannot even talk about music and not mention Bach. But in terms of a capella vocal music, the pinnacle of Western music is Palestrina. Personally, I'm inclined toward his contemporary, Lassus. The latter is much more expressive, to me, and his harmonies are more daring. But lately, I've had to admit, Palestrina's music is perfect. There are no flaws in it. That anything could be so tremendously complex and also flawless is why his music has been held up as the model of perfection in choral composition for 400 years. Compared to Lassus, his music seems somewhat bland at first. But, like Bach, with repeated listening, a universe unfolds.
