scootlaboot Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I noticed a lack of this topic, so I decided to make one. Basically a discussion of one of the oldest types of music. So if you been to see one/ are a fan of them, post here. If you choose your beliefs/lifestyle simply based on what your parents want, then you are a weak minded individual and are not even worthy of calling yourself a person.

Uldric Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I prefer things like S&M by Metallica and Ben Folds with the WASO. Things that combine two different genres and makes it sound better than the original are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intriguing Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've never been a fan of orchestral works. There are a few good ones out there, but I much prefer chamber groups, Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venomai Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Can't go wrong with classical music -- Bach, Pachelbel, Chopin, Vivaldi, etc. It's too bad the younger generation is so rarely exposed to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 One of my favourate songs of all, is in fact, Ode to Joy. "To Joy" (German: An die Freude, first line: "Freude, schöner Götterfunken", in English often called Ode to Joy) is an ode written in 1785 by the German poet, playwright and historian Friedrich Schiller. The poem celebrates the ideal of unity and brotherhood of all mankind. It is best known for its musical setting by Ludwig van Beethoven in the final movement of his Ninth Symphony (completed in 1824), a choral symphony for orchestra, four solo voices, and choir. [hide=]The whole thing is quite long, not including the rest of the 9th Symphony, but this is my favourate part of it: [yt]d4_Z6ablci4[/yt] Another part: [yt]Wod-MudLNPA[/yt][/hide] "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Range_This11 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Holst is an amazing composer. 1st and 2nd Suites are my favorite.

Evil_Sabre Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I prefer the Russians in general, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev in particular. Russian composers just have a dark aura around a lot of their works, so much emotion and passion. I also enjoy Ballet and the two of them made some of the most popular Ballets in history. Tchaikovsky literally saved Ballet from dieing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Stravinsky is better than Tchaikovsky by a mile. I mean it really depends. Tchaikovsky is one of those composers that come out of the Romantic era that had hit or miss pieces. Overture of 1812 was a masterpiece, however all of his later work went to the [cabbage]ter by over using his favorite choral progression of 2-5 then 7-4. There's only so much you can do in a piece till the progression gets dull. Stravinsky is also guilty of that too, his Hungarian influences pretty much limited his potential as a composer out of the romantic era. However I do prefer Stravinsky. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albel Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I few months ago, when I went to West Virginia Honors Band, I saw the West Virginia Wind symphony. It was amazing to listen to all the music that was there. They even had a guest euphonium player (I play the euphonium ) that played the Euphonium Concerto by a guy named Cosma...I think? It was... the most amazing song Ive ever heard of... if you can, search that song in google, and find a recording of that song. [hide=Quotes]Albel/JustinAlbel doesn't say anything anymore, just comes in, leaves an arrow and vanishes into the night :(Probablypractising some euphoniumYou nearly had me fooled, you fooler youEuphonium/10.9/10.

Jernlov Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I few months ago, when I went to West Virginia Honors Band, I saw the West Virginia Wind symphony. It was amazing to listen to all the music that was there. They even had a guest euphonium player (I play the euphonium ) that played the Euphonium Concerto by a guy named Cosma...I think?The Cosma Euphonium Concerto is one of the best pieces I've ever had the honour of playing, when I played euphonium. I switched to trombone though and played the Hindemith trombone sonata a lot, along with the staple Rimsky-Korsakov concerto. Alas, I got disheartened and gradually stopped when someone told me "you're pretty sh*t for a grade 8 trombone player". I don't listen to classical music much anymore. It was the soundtrack to my childhood, though. I was listening to Mozart and Beethoven around the age of 6 or 7, and suddenly added a lot more to my collection when I hit about 11/12. Stravinsky, Holst, Rachmaninov and Schoenberg were some favourites of mine; and I really enjoyed studying atonality and serialism for my music course because I got to listen to stuff I had already experienced. Also: I was 2nd trombone in both a small symphony orchestra and a brass band, and principal trombone in a concert band.

Kenshinjapan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I really enjoy Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky to name a few. Classical is the main digest of my music. YOU! ATTEND TET EVENTS! CLICK HERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
