Favorite Piece Of Music Written In Your Birth Year

Mine is Xenakis Tetora for string quartet.


And yours?

All best composer dead by then.

Which means you were born in 1990, not in 1994 as stated in your profile ;) .

As for me... I'd have to pick John Williams's score for Superman.

YC profiles....you know they can't be trusted.

Wrong answer. You were born in 1913 and it's Stravinsky's Rite of Spring :p ...

his what? i didn't know stravinsky wrote music at all before the mid-1950s when he gradually emerged from near-total obscurity as one of the most individual voices in the Darmstadt School of serialism

My... this girl (or guy? who knows for sure?) creeps me out!

And to answer the question: my vote goes to the Lion King soundtrack :wub: - sorry, my academic friends!

Not like using your real name and actual mug on the internet begs for attention from creeps.

Have a virtual leer, friend.  :shifty:

There were things written in 1990?

I was born too late.. Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, R. Strauss, and Stravinsky were already dead :/

Have a virtual leer' date=' friend.   :shifty:[/quote']

 

thanks luv~

 

i find it interesting, from reading this thread anyway, how unsuccessful that whole "new romanticism" movement has been in spite of its claims to have "superseded" post-tonality and obtained commercial dominance. of course, it's always possible that most of the posters here are simply unfamiliar with Corigliano, Adès, Macmillan, etc etc due to inexperience, or even find them too "modern" (there are also people who find Wagner too "modern") so it's difficult to say.

Lutoslawski's Piano concerto

If only people hadn't stopped writing music when Stravinsky died!

Let me rephrase.. if only my favourite composers where still alive to compose something in the year that I was born! lol

Whitacre's "Water Night". Amazing stuff.

Also, "Wonderwall" by Oasis was pretty amazing on the non-classical side.

Sadly, I was a year off from Whitacre's "Godzilla Eats Las Vegas"

Madonna - Burning Up :P

There is a lot of trash in this topic. Come on guys, stick to the subject!

Otherwise I would pick Violin Concerto by Einojuhani Rautavaara.

For 1987 Its a toss up between:

Olivier Messiaen's La Ville d'en Haut 

Steve Reich's The Four Sections

(these are links to the pieces fyi for those who havent heard these pieces)
