I'm just listening to a bunch of classical right now. It's such beautiful music. Who else likes classical?

My favorite current song is Dvorak - Symfonie No. 9

Gorgeous song.

Honestly, I feel like looking up on the internet a teacher of music so that I can compose some myself.

Classical music isn't my favourite, but I still enjoy listening to some Mozart or Beethoven once in a while (or, God forbid, actually playing some on the piano)

There's some good classical stuff, yes. As for new artists making classical music... Jesper Kyd is quite good

Amazing ignoring of our other forums too!

Apologies if I posted in the wrong forum. I figured more people would notice here, and I figured the music forum was more for posting your projects instead of discussing it.

ANyways, I found a new favorite as well..


Mozart - Pachabel

Beautiful frigging song.

One question to those of you.. Are there any good places to actually LEARN music ont he internet? Meaning musical notes and such. I actually want to compose some songs I've had in my head since I was younger.

One of my favorite has been Bedrich Smetana's Die Moldau for quite a long time now... even though I suppose I only have the short version.

I really only listen to classical. Some jazz too.
Some favorites off the top of my head:

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - Bach
Piano Concerto #3 - Rachmaninov (I think it's #3)
Requiem - Mozart (favorite)
Canon in D - Pachaebel (I probably butchered it)
Habenera from Carmen - Bizet

Gabriel Fauré's Requiem in D minor. Try the In Paradisum section. Or his Pavane Op. 50.

Danse Macabre
Pictures at an Exhibition

I listen to NPR on the way home to get my dose of classical.

I'd say Mozart - Requiem is my favorite too, though Dvorak does make some very good stuff as well.

Moonlight Sonata, baby.

I'm so glad someone started this topic.
Let's go in alphabetical order, because that's the way god wants us to be.
By the way, being a child of Hollywood, I have a somewhat distorted definition of "classical" as being anything orchastral.

Bernard Hermann - Twisted Nerve
Danny Elfman - Batman
Danny Elfman - Beetlejuice
Don Davis - Neodammerung
Don Davis - Trinity Infinity
Gustav Holst - The Planets Suite (Mercury, the Winged Messenger; Venus, the Bringer of Peace; Mars, the Bringer of War; Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age; Uranus, the Magician; Neptune, the Mystic; and (not actually by Holst) Pluto, Lord of the Underworld)
James Newton Howard - The Hands of Fate
John Williams - The Battle of Hoth
John Williams - Duel of the Fates
John Williams - The Imperial March
John Williams - Indianna Jones and the Last Crusade
John Williams - Jurassic Park
Monty Norman - 007
Nobuo Uematsu - A One Winged Angel
Quincy Jones - Soul Bossa Nova (really more of a Jazz classical piece)
Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra
Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries
Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture
Tomoyasu Hotei - Battle Without Honor or Humanity (sorta like a transiberian orchestra rock&roll classical, hard to explain)
U2 - Mission Impossible (Junior's Mix) (I actually didn't believe this was a U2 song until I saw the album listing)
Zamfir - The Lonely Shepherd

-Good stuff. I likes me John Williams.

If you're going to throw in John Williams, then I might as well mention that Howard Shore kicks his ***.

(Except I love the Curoscant song from AotC)

You're kidding. That, like the worst Williams ever. I mean, yeah it's a nice change of pace from the more traditional Star Wars music (which is always either a sort of anthem, ominous background moaning, longing sonota, or a 6000 year old dead language chant-a-thon), but I always thought it was a little too sappy.
"Across the Stars", by the way.

-Of course, the whole movie was sappy... and it certainly helped that atmosphere...

bearded_jarl, that's an awesome list. but there should be more elfman on there!

The song I'm referring to is Zam The Assassin and Chase Through Curoscant, not Accross the Stars.

As long as we're talking film composers, I definetly think Alan Silvestri deserves a mention, mainly for composing the music to Predator and Back to the Future.

Vivaldi and Vanessa Mae.... and Danny ELfman.

Great Gates of Kiev.

jarl, no matter how much a child of Hollywood you are, Tomoyasu Hotei is NOT classical. :p

I like that guy that Hitler liked. Yeah.

Chopin!

Wagner?
I'm still in my shostakovich period, his violing concertos and string quartets... gonna listen to some Bach after this, beyond his cello suites, and check out the Beethoven string quartets.

Mussorgsky is lovely.
