JoshMc Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Sorry if I sound rude, but you actually looked through all 24 pages? If so, I have genuine respect for your patience in all our non-Wagnerian might...Back on topic... Debussy is now one of my favorite composers. I did. Mostly skimming just to find names of composers I'm not familiar with but I did catch pretty much what every person listed as a favorite composer and only saw one mention of Wagner. EDIT: Er, two mentions after the post above me. Quote
almacg Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Favourite composer... c'est impossible... Possibly Saint-Seans for the Danse Macabre and Danse Bacchanale... Quote
chodelkovzart Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 chopin, mendelssohn, tchaikovsky and mozart!!! (lol, my name is chodelkovzart) they are all angels. Quote
Gardener Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 chopin, mendelssohn, tchaikovsky and mozart!!! (lol, my name is chodelkovzart)they are all angels. Apparently you like melodies! Methinks Schubert would make an excellent addition to this group. Are you familiar with his symphonies? Quote
composerorganist Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 No particular all-time favorite composer (for example when very very young I loved the Listz Piano Concerto 1 -- well now I find it rather pedestrian). My new faves are Gombert Lassus Zelenka Schein (what little of his vocal I hear, he is a contemporary of Bach) Some standbys which I enjoy more Bach Schumann Quote
Nirvana69 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Tie between Debussy and Ravel. Both wrote gorgeous and very original music for the time. Everytime I think I have picked a favorite, I hear a new piece from the other that captivates me. Quote
chodelkovzart Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Apparently you like melodies! Methinks Schubert would make an excellent addition to this group. Are you familiar with his symphonies? you got that right!! :D yes! Schubert is definitely one of my favorites too! schubert should've finished his unfinished symphony. lol. Quote
Qmwne235 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Sibelius, Bartok, and Ives tie, even though they're all completely different. Quote
MatthewSchwartz Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 ^ Well, I've made the mistake of listening to 27 of his concertos in a row. The redundancy gets to ya by the third or fourth. Anyways, my favorite composers kind of stem from two separate routes - either through their musical philosophies or their actual music (independent of its conceptual implications). Conceptually: Hovhaness, Wagner, Takemitsu, Mahler (kind of), Messiaen Musically: Scriabin, Chopin, Villa-Lobos, Ravel, Liszt, Bruckner, Glass (shuddup), Reich, Grieg, Riley Can't pick just one...

timeslider Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Nobuo Uematsu, John Williams, and Tchaikovsky. Quote
pedalpoint Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Bach is easily the top of my list. Just judging by his 2nd symphony, Sibelius is on my list also. Quote
themodernmishap Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Philip Glass, even though most people hate minimalism, i love it very dearly Quote
Voce Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Vivaldi's concertos are samey because he had to turn out new ones regularly to make money. His religious works and operas reveal a generally more inspired side of him. Quote
DeLesslin Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Tomas luis de Victoria Saint-Saens Cage... he was very original and dedicated to his ideas...but I am not putting him here for that (because I actually abhor most of his work), I put him here because of his piano piece 'In a Landscape'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptUEhCU4ZcU&color1=11645361&color2=13619151&hl=en&fs=1 Rutter :toothygrin: Quote
blm22 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 My Favorite Composer Is David Shaffer for Band, Barbara York, For Tuba Solo's, and Gary P. Gilroy For Marching Band. Quote
Jon Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 John Williams, Koji Kondo, and Grant Kirkhope. Quote
Tokkemon Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Ooo! I forgot all about Grant Kirkhope! Amazing stuff. Banjo-Kazoie rocks! Quote
Jon Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Ooo! I forgot all about Grant Kirkhope! Amazing stuff. Banjo-Kazoie rocks! I know! I can play a lot from that game on piano, but I've only posted the "Mad Monster Mansion" theme here: http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/these-performances-any-good-16063.html Quote
Jackson Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Pro'ly my two favorite composers are John [Coolidge] Adams and Philip Glass. I've been liking them a lot more now, because I see their influence in my own compositions. It's just all-around great stuff, to me. Besides those two, I enjoy very much the works of Steve Reich, Richard Wagner, Frank Ticheli, Jerry Goldsmith, Ralph Vaughan-Williams (As a tuba player, I'm required to:D), Charles Ives, Ottorino Respighi, John Williams, Gustav Holst, Giovanni Gabrieli Quote
chodelkovzart Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 chopin, mendelssohn, tchaikovsky and mozart!!! (lol, my name is chodelkovzart)they are all angels. im adding Schumann to my old post. Quote
AndreasKrebs Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 First of all comes Anton Bruckner. (Then? Beethoven of course, Mahler, Shostakovic, Holmboe, Simpson, Rautavaara,...) Cheers, Andreas Quote
