music Classical Music Listeners?

[fluttergal 21]

So yeah, anyone hear listens to classical music?

 

I absolutely love classical music and I have my high school piano and band teacher to thank! I listen to classical piano the most simply because...I am supposed to. It's what you get for being a music major in general. xD

 

 

So yeah, feel free to discuss and even share some of your favorites. ^^

Yes. Gustavs Holsts Planets Suite for life! Especially Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity.

I love classical music as well, and my favorite classical piece is this:

 

 

What is your favorite classical composition?

I've been listening to this all day:

 

and that's because I've been playing it all day. Chopin etudes are really hard when doing the first time. DX

Really though, its the best piece of music ever made, EVER. Not even Overture 1812 comes close to this. Doesn't it just make you think of the Romans fighting in the Punic Wars at its most vital point? Or maybe thats just me.

Oh god I love classical music! (: I don't really know the names though, but I do listen to it alot on Pandora Radio. It's just so relaxing and cheers me up alot. Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine myself in these new worlds, exploring or just laying on the ground looking up in the bright sky. ^.^

This count as classic?

I dont know to be honest x)

[Kaborer 164]

I quite like classical. I don't know a lot about the different composers and pieces, but one of my favourite composers is Johann Sebastian Bach.

 

 

I don't listen to classical very often, though. I should borrow some of my parents music collection...

[Simcity11100 772]

I can enjoy classic music, but I don't know many composers in the genre.

[Swordfishtrombone 384]

Vicke, I think thats some kind of weird pop dance swing neo-classical fusion.

[Envy 6,283]

Classical, as a whole is probably my favorite genre of music altogether.

 

My favorite styles in the past few years have been both Renaissance (choral) and Impressionist. I know, I've gravitated toward two extremes there. Although I really like Baroque and Classical as well.

 

You should check out this topic that we've had for a while.

A lot of people were inspired by Holst! Actually the most famous one that was inspired is John Williams! The guy who composed music for Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Indian Jones, etc. Oh, and if anyone is a fan of Super Mario Galaxy, Mahito Yokota seemed to have looked to Holst for inspiration to the video game's soundtrack. :3

 

Holst is like the god of film music. The one who started such epic style.

I was trying to look for a classical music thread here! D: I don't know why I couldn't find it. Well, I'm totally fine if the other thread is used, but we're getting new people here. 0= Those are lovely music that you put up, by the way. I love baroque music as well.

I adore classical music, both for pleasure and knowledge. Though Political Science is my main focus in college, Music Performance is actually my second major so I'm a double major. As I am a violist and violinist I love listening and playing the music. My favorite composer is Dvorak with Vivaldi as a close second and Mendelssohn as third. I didn't even know we had a classical thread. I'm so joining that.

 

This is my favorite piece of all time:
