I don't like to call it classical because the Classical period is merely one period of music... but it is a great period -- some of its alumni include Haydn, Mozart and the almighty Beethoven -- although some place him in the Romantic period (at the very beginning.) I am fairly fond of J.S. Bach -- he created a lot of techniques in his fugue music form that are used in electronica today, and all types of music, such as raising an entire theme (a melody) to a different key, or playing notes backwards or upside-down. (this is possible on music sheets.) I also enjoy the choral masses of Palestrina, even though I am in no way a religious person. Rachmaninoff, a post-impressionist, is one of my faves too. Those who enjoy the piano tracks on Drukqs would enjoy him. Who are everyone else's top 5 composers/ compositions? COMPOSERS: 1. Beethoven - the Jesus of composing 2. J.S. Bach - the Moses of composing 3. Mozart - THE young prodigy 4. Berlioz - father of program music 5. Palestrina - obscure choral mass composer of the Renaissance TOP 5 WORKS: 1. Beethoven's 9th Symphony 2. Bach's Cantata 140 3. Palestrina's Sicut Cervus 4. Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique 5. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata |

i really like the "rite of spring" by Stravinsky.... J.S Bach's fugue's are amazing, really hard to play aswell. Some challenging music for double bass at last! I'm usually stuck play LONG pedal notes. |

There was once an instrument called the Bariton that was a bass and a guitar combined, but from what i know these don't exist anymore. Too bad, because Haydn wrote a LOT of concertos for these. |

I'm playing a mendelssohn piece on thursday. A Song Without Words, its a piano piece that's been arranged for strings. for my music homework I've got to find a piece that's in 5/4 time, and a piece that is highly descriptive, that illustrates a scene or an object really clearly. Does anybody hav any ideas? not strictly 'classical', just not rock/pop/ordinary things... |

Gustav Holst would most certainly count. |

I don't know too much orchestralor classical music, but I can tell you that Hildegard von Bingen's (sp?) choral work is absolutely amazing. Vivaldi's last works before he died were recently recorded for the first time and they are heavenly. Lastly, my favorite piece so far is Bach's Mass in B Minor, particularly the Gloria section (movement?). It's like the announcement of the arrival of the Cosmic Royalty. |

i'm into "post-classical" at the moment. composers like Tod Dockstader, Philip Glass, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Olivier Messiaen ans so on..... |
||||||||

|

Hehe, everyone puts Mozart, Beethoven and J.S. Bach in their top 3... If you're into choral music, check out Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and Mozart's Requiem as well. Another piece that isn't mentioned here that I really love is Wagner's Overture zu Tannhauser. |

hehe, I know little of the old-old-school music, so for me it falls into one category. a friend of mine occasionally makes me listen to his something from his massive collection and his picks are always very magical. |

somebody else was telling me something about missa solemnis the other day.... should probably listen i guess. |
