| Hello everyone, I'm interested in knowing who your favorite composers are, or which composers are good. I'm mostly looking for instrumental music, but some vocal versions can be good too. It doesn't have to be classical composers. I'm just looking for some good instrumental music. Instrumental versions of songs are also good.
I myself like Paul Maco's work. The song used in the latest "Un verre de lait, c'est bien. Mais deux, c'est mieux!" commercial was composed by him. He's not very known but I personally find his work to be some of the best I've ever heard. (edited by KP on 03-08-06 01:22 PM) |

My favorite classical composer is Mozart. I listen to a lot of the stuff he did when I need musical inspiration, because he did a lot of modern-day tricks you usually don't hear in that type of music. Bach is also another good one. As you may or may not know, he composed the famous dark-sounding "Tocatta and Fugue in D". 
The stuff that Trammell Starks did for The Weather Channel is also really nice and quite original. I have a three CD set by him of that stuff. Smooth jazz/New Age type of music, but with a modern rock mentality to it. As for bands I listen to that are instrumental, I'd highly recommend Ozric Tentacles, positively the best and most underrated band on this planet.  Their guitarist Ed Wynne, who writes a lot of their material, is nothing short of a genius. Also, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, whos guitar works are the most diverse and beautifully weird I've ever heard. |

| I like Shostakovich's stuff. Great modern I beleive composer.
Tchaikovsky is great too. Beethoven I prefer to Mozart, I feel that Beethoven's music is more mature. |

| I love Bach. He wrote crazy crazy vocal harmonies. And was basically the first to use the devils interval in music since the pope had banned it. (It's two notes that are 6 half steps away from each other... it sounds very dissident and ugly if not done correctly.) However, I love dissident chords and harmonies... so I loved it. Bach's Tocatta is effing amazing as well.
Mozart's Requiem (the one he was writing while he died) is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite Operatic piece of all time would have to be by Mascani though. Wow, I really can't spell his name... but he wrote this piece that my chorus sang last year... and it was the most absolutely gorgeous piece of music I've ever heard in my life. I just remember the words and the melody... oh! It was called the Easter Hymn. It was from the Opera Cavalleria Rusticana. Gorgeous. |
