Agreed on both parts, seen the beer commercial? I bet hes turning in his grave. The same can be said about the "drink milk love life" song :?
Oh and mmmmm burritos *drools*

I like the Brandenburg concertos by JS Bach, #2 the most.

I tried to think back over the stuff I played when I was doing orchestral stuff, but still can't really come up with any favorites from the classical period. Anything from Charles Ives, Dimitri Shostakovich, Percy Grainger, or Dan Bukvitch, awesome, but these guys are all fairly modern -- Bukvitch is still even alive, which is a major no-no if you want to be taken seriously as a composer. :roll: It's probably just that I'm weird, or that this was the most fun and interesting stuff to play.

Grainger = hell yeah but 20th century probably isn't "classic" enough for this crowd.

Let me put an idea forth that is not Beethoven or Mozart (*gasp!*): Antonin Dvorak, either his ninth symphony ("From the New World") or his first set of Slavonic dances.

I'm a symphonic nut. That said, I still haven't heard Mahler.

By the way, best contemporary symphonies = Messiaen, "Turangalila," and Gorecki, "Symphony no. 3"
(contemporary music needs more love. give contemporary music some love)

There will always be a special spot in my heart for Gustav Holst. I've enjoyed all the movements of The Planets that I have heard and I've played both of his Suites for Military Band and love them both (although I prefer the First Suite).

Whoever mentioned Holst earlier...you're not alone.

Agreed. I love Jupiter and Mars, those are probably two of the more popular movements too.

Symphony No. 25 in G Minor, K. 183 (Allegro con Brio).

At least that what realplayer says it is. Anyway I like it. It makes me want to do something, like run or fight, or run. Its from Mozart too.

Yeah, before I went out and found all the movements of The Planets, those were the only two I had heard before. I'm definitely more of a fan of Saturn and Neptune, though. Nothing wrong with those movements, but they definitely get the most recognition.
