Mitchell Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I was wondering. I have a few pieces that I always go back to after I discover a lot of new music. These are The Rite of Spring, The Planets Suite, Dvorak New World Symphony, Beethoven 7, The Wall-E soundtrack. Does anyone else have these staples in their listening repertoire?

Tokkemon Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Naturally. But Mahler's better. /troll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 I didn't mean if people have the same ones... just if they have them in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 A smattering of U2 albums: The Joshua Tree, All That You Can't Leave Behind, and The Unforgettable Fire mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiggTorr Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Yeah, I'm mostly a choral composer, so I always go back to Biebl's Ave Maria. It's so simple, but it's elegance always strikes me. I also tend to revisit pieces by Zane Randall Stroope. IMHO, just as Whitacre uses dissonance in such great ways, I find that Stroope does the same with consonance.
