Who is your favourite Classical Composer?

[GoktimusPrime]

Ya know... other than John Williams. ;)

Because the poll only limits 10 options I've chosen 9 popular composers and left the 10th option for "other." :)

Beat me to it :p

[Gutsman Heavy]

go Beethoven! Tchaikovsky gets an honorable mention.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Grieg for me.

[Maxiewolf]

I wonder How many choose Beethoven because hes the only one they know the name of :p

Tchaikovsky for Moi. Though I do enjoy alot of classical music from alot of composers.

[GoktimusPrime]

It was a tough call between Beethoven and Mozart for me, but I just have a particular fondness for Ode To Joy and For Eliza, so I went for Beethoven. :) They are all great though.

An honourable mention to Carl Orff's "O Fortuna" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrML6s1wNHk) -- a song that not only cries "Excalibur!" but also coincidentally sounds like it could be the name for some posh Chinese restaurant :D

Ya know... other than John Williams. ;)


Danny Elfman? :D

[gamblor916]

Vivaldi especially if it's done by CoB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iLIhLv8LuY).

[Paulbot]

Who's the one that composed the music that goes "dah dah de dah du dah du dah de da da do di dah dah di de dah du du du dah di do dah de de da da dah du dah du dah dah de de dah dah dah du dah du dah du"?

[SGB]

Ya know... other than John Williams. ;)
LOL! :D

If Williams was an option on the poll, I'd have voted for him. I love the guy's work on Superman.

I don't have a great deal of time for classical composers, but I do have some knowledge... the reason I voted Beethoven was due to his steller contribution to the movie 'a clockwork orange'... love me some ultraviolence.

[GoktimusPrime]

I haven't seen Clockwork Orange yet (shame on me). :(

You're not alone.

The reason I voted for Beethoven is for the Allegretto from Symphony No 7 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdfNTO_o-3k). Which accompanies the final kick in the balls from a certain notorious ultra-violent French film.

Otherwise Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No.1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJzYF8FXmRE&feature=related) is my favorite individual piece - orchestrated preferably, otherwise piano, wind or strings. Even the Cafe del Mar remix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdk6P2ts3H4&feature=related) is sublime.:cool:

Although I did appreciate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the fine motion picture 'Bill and Ted's excellent adventure' so it was a close call.

[SamLoi888]

1812 Overture FTW!!!

[Decepticon]

I chose Beethoven cos he was excellent as that dog in the Beethoven kids movies!:)

[Bartrim]

1812 Overture FTW!!!

Totally agree. Love the version played by Bond:)

[Towers_Spy]

Tchaikovsky.

For giving dancers the Nutcracker Suite, Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake :)
