Favorite Classical Song

Post by **The_Chosen_One** » Sun Jul 20, 2008 4:33 am

So I was curious what some of the members here favorite classical song is.

As much as I like Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Vivaldi. I must say my favorite classical song is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johan Sebastian Bach. I guess you could say when it was used in Castlevania it left a powerful impression when I was very young. I love some of the remixes that our generation has put out such as the works of Vanessa Mae and a techno remix someone made awhile ago.

It's hard for me to boil down who my favorite composer from days gone by is as I like them all given certain moods I'm in. Tchaikovsky and Musgorsky typically top my list.

John Cage is exceptional once you get past the fact that his music isn't really music. It's more self expressionism. He always did completely wrong things in composition that don't sit well with 99% of the people in the world. Even though I hate artists who lived in the dada 'style' (sorry, but setting a soup can on a bar stool is not art), Cage always made me consider him the musical equivalent to dada.

I like most John Schmidt albums. My favorite song is probably "Waterfall".

Another good one. I can't help but recall Jill Valentine BUTCHERING it in Resident Evil every time I hear it though.
