What's Your Favorite Composer/artist?

[Beautifull]

so trhis is how it goes...

just say who they are...;)


here's mine: everyone knows him:Beethoven

[Erichtho]

Giovanni Bottesini.

[kevinthediltz]

Dimmu Borgir. (sorry, i have to elaborate)
A black metal band that is fairly unknown in the us.
Very unappriciated music. I love this band becuase they are so melodic. The lead singer was a composer and director for more than 10 years of his life. And the bassist was also in opera for several years.
They frequently use orchestra in their music and typically have one or two songs on each album that is ONLY orchestra and band. On one of their older albums they hired the Progg orchestra and played a BEAUTIFUL piece that the lead singer wrote and directed.
If you really try to LISTEN to melodic death and black metal, its influences from dark classical music are clear.

[amalia1985]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dimmu Borgir! Way popular in Greece, at least.

Regarding classical music my favorite composer is Puccini. Apart from that, I only listen to Heavy Metal, and my favorite act is Nightwish, Epica, and many other bands. I cannot really choose.:D

[Beautifull]

another...Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart(in short...Mozart)

[Sir Bartholomew]

i love the band Air, the french duo. not Air Supply mind you. They have at least one song featured each in Sofia Coppola's movies.

[Beautifull]

huh...are they new or old? or maybe i'm behind in the little things...hmmm...i need to catch up...
does any body LOVE Enya?

[Sir Bartholomew]

air started releasing songs in the late 1990s, so i guess they're a bit old.

[Beautifull]

hmm..they're not that old...1980's is old...

[Nyu001]

This is a really hard question for me like answering what kind of music I like. I am very variate with all and I am not putting much preference in a composer. But since I should mention I will say Nikolas Sideris. Ha!

[Beautifull]

excuse me, but who's he?

[Nyu001]

He is a friend and the one that organize the competitions of CGEmpire. I like his works. :P

Let me guess someone else told you otherwise you are a 'pig' looking for your name in the internet? :P

[Beautifull]

[Beautifull]

Composer Richard Meyer.

[Nyu001]

Anyone heard of Luca Turilli?

[Beautifull]

[Nyu001]

O___o?

[Beautifull]

[Nyu001]

Ah! He is an Italian guitarist and composer. He is member of the band Raphsody of fire. But I mention him as a solo artist due he has his solo albums.

[Beautifull]

hmmm...
i think i heard about him when my friends were talking of albums and stuff...

[bej6s]

Delta Goodrem

[Beautifull]

Composer Robert Smith

[Tournesol]

does any body LOVE Enya?[/QUOTE]

Who can not love ENYA?!

I do, absolutely. Her music is so relaxing. It really helps to calm me when I'm driving!

[Beautifull]

i said the exact thing a while back!
i mean...Enya is the relax button forme...unfortunately one of my brothers or m mom took my MP3 else i would be listening to her right now.

[Tournesol]

Well, Beautifull, I dunno if this helps, but I'm listening to Enya right now....'Watermark'...thinking of you, sending all the enya-ness your way! lol...

[Beautifull]

ahhh..it feels good... my favorite by her would probably be...Boadacia.

[Agatha]

My favourite composer is Michael Nyman(the Piano soundtrack was great and I can listen it everytime)and I like also Thomas Newman and Clint Mansell.

[EricP]

My favorite composer would probably be Mahler or Schoenberg. For non-classical music I would have to go with John Coltrane.

[Equality72521]

composer....Um classical: Beethoven
non classical: Stephan Moccio.....beautiful!

artist wise: Josh Groban...duh!

[Beautifull]

hmmm....Luther Vandross...

[ex ponto]

For non-classical music: Magne Furuholmen
And I cannot choose only one composer of classical music.

[Page Sniffer]

Classical -- Vivaldi
Non-classical pop -- Robert Smith (The Cure)
Non-classical jazz -- Wow a toss up between John Coltrane and Vince Giraldi

[Virgil]

I've lately been turned on to the music of Charles Ives. It's wonderful. He may become my favorite 20th century composer. Check out his Symphony #4.

[Beautifull]

how about mariah carey? does anyone just love her voice?

[mickitaz]

Bach.. specifically piano/harpsichord/and organ compliations.

[Beautifull]

i'm not even sure if i've heard any of Bach's pieces. i've heard so much about him though. can anyone list some songs he's written? :blush:

[Nyu001]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rccp8KcpyI (A great perform of the piece).

Originally a concerti for organ.

BWV 596 — Concerto in D minor after Antonio Vivaldi, Concerto grosso, Op. 3/11 RV565.

[Beautifull]

Wow! you're absolutely right! he's good!:)

[djy78usa]

Well, I've given it alot of thought, and I have to say my favorite composer is Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern Schplenden Schlitter Crasscrenbon Fried Digger Dangle Dungle Burstein von Knacker Thrasher Apple Banger Horowitz Ticolensic Grander Knotty Spelltinkle Grandlich Grumblemeyer Spelterwasser Kürstlich Himbleeisen Bahnwagen Gutenabend Bitte Eine Nürnburger Bratwustle Gerspurten mit Zweimache Luber Hundsfut Gumberaber Shönendanker Kalbsfleisch Mittler Raucher von Hautkopft of Ulm, thought by many to be the greatest name in German baroque music.

In reality, though, Danny Elfman is probably my favorite modern composer.

Seriously now, how did you manage to write the name down? How fast do you say it? Which is the middle name?

My favorite are: Amy Lee and Otep Shamaya

[mickitaz]

i'm not even sure if i've heard any of Bach's pieces. i've heard so much about him though. can anyone list some songs he's written? :blush:

Some of Bach's common peices are Toccatta in Fuge in D minor. My favorite (so far) are the Brandenburg Concerto's number 1 and 4.

[Beautifull]

thanks...i need to check him out!:blush:

It takes me about 45 seconds to say it. If you click on the link in my original post, you'll see that Graham Chapman and John Cleese could say it much faster (although I am faster than Terry Jones :lol:).
