Dirk Gently Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Well, I have no favorite composer.... though my favorite composer of Shostakovitch music is Shostakovitch. My favorite Stravinsky music composer is Stravinsky. For Verdi's music, my favorite composer is Verdi. Beethoven is the best Beethoven music composer....and so forth :shifty:.

Alatus Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I simply can't choose one. Ravel, Brahms, Stravinsky, and Gershwin all stand out in my mind and heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest QcCowboy Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I'm particularly fond of Leonard Bernstein Aaron Copland Samuel Barber (come on, who can honestly say he's not on their list?) Howard Hanson (despite some nasty things I've read about his personal life) Giacomo Puccini Jan Sibelius to name a few, only. it's so hard to select a "few"... there are just too many incredible geniuses out there.

Mark Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I do enjoy a bit of Vivaldi sometimes, it's nice background music, when I don't want to be too taxed when listening :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest QcCowboy Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 For those who know me, you'll know my response.Yes, Vivaldi's my favorite. Can't you cut him a little slack at least once in a while? A number of years back, I was teaching in a music camp. The camp orchestra and chorus sang a Vivaldi "Gloria". One of the other piano teachers and myself (I was teaching composition) did a little comedy sketch called "Vivaldi in the age of Xerox"... we had a pile of paper at the piano, one of us played the opening phrase of the Vivaldi Gloria... over and over and over again, as the other one turned a single page at each repetition of the main theme.

Guest QcCowboy Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I don't quite get what you mean there qc, mind explaining? if you know the piece in question, the opening is rather repetitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 That sounds hilarious, beats the sketches the idiotic leaders put on on scout camps by far ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zentari Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Oh, cut the man some slack... that gloria is beautiful... and he only repeats the opening three times at first.... while he has a very distinctive style, he was able to create great variety from a very strict format.
