Who is your favourite composer? Why do you like him/her?  |
| |
|  Personally I'm into film music moreso than classical music, but I am also a composer who is into film music myself.
I absolutely love John Williams (he composed they music for many blockbuster films: Jaws, all the Star Wars movies, Superman, Indiana Jones and more). His style is very eclectic. It's very Saturday-Evening Popcorn-watching fun music, and quite sophisticated.
I have been taken with him all my life. Some of my favourite scores are from Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Hook, just to name a few.
I love his music because it's always got so much character to it. It always tells a story, musically. You can almost hear it without visual aid and know exactly what's going on or what should be happening on screen or in a story. My music is very similar to his, as I've been told (though obviously not quite as top-notch) and it should be. I learned a lot just by listening to his music - and composers always emulate the style of their "teachers." And I consider him an indirect teacher.
If you have a favourite composer, film or non-film, classical or not, who is he/she and why do you like them?

| |  I like Dan Fogelberg, simply because I like his songs.
Do you celebrate Christmas? If yes, I will take this opportunity to greet you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (though is not yet Dec. 25, I may not have a chance to greet you anymore so I will do it now).

| | I do indeed celebrate Christmas, but I celebrate it more as a secular holiday then as a Christian one.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you as well! | | | |

| |  Yeah, John Williams is one of my favorite movie score composers. The Jurassic Park main theme is timeless for me. Another musical composer I admire is Danny Elfman. His most notable works include the themes for Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman and Spider-man.

| | Totally! Danny Elfman is another of my favourite composers. I especially like "What's This?" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas." And who can forget the everlasting theme from "The Simpsons."
Classic. | | | |

| |  I'm not into classical music, either.
My favorite composer is Andrew Lloyd Weber, without a doubt. I have the soundtracks to most of the musicals that he wrote, as well as a few CD's of compilations of his music alone, without words. "The Music of the Night" stands out as a favorite, and one that most people would recognize (from the Phantom of the Opera).

| | Yah, the music from Phantom is great. I have to admit, studying music and being a composer it's still one musical I have never seen. I know all the music, but have never gone to see it at the theatre or on the big screen.
One of these days I'll have to sit down and watch the newest movie version, the one with Gerard Butler as the Phantom. | | | |

| |  Maybe you do not know this composer. He is a local composer in my country but he is very famous indeed in our community. His name is M. Nasir and he has won many awards. People here call him the "Sifu" (the teacher).

| | Though I'm not an organized religion man, I do like a handful of religious material. No matter the topic they're singing about, it is often uplifting material. | | | |

| |  I really enjoy a lot of classical composers. I'm a big fan of Beethoven, Mozart, and Handel. But, I also like the composers for the romantic period such as Dvorak, Rimsky-Korsakov, Bizet, and Rachmaninoff. I also like more modern composers such as De Falla, Copeland, and Stravinsky, and Mahler.
And, many others I can't think of right now.

| | I like a lot of pieces by these composers as well. The New World Symphony is one piece by Dvorak that stands out for me, as does Finlandia. From Bizet, of course, Carmen. Rimsky-Korsakov, being a trombone player, love his Concerto for Trombone and Band plus who can forget Flight of the Bumblebee.
Copeland's Rodeo is one of my favourite pieces.
I didn't say Beethoven's Fifth because everyone says that (oops! I just said it :) | | | |

| | I know what you mean. I actually like some of his later piano works the best. I'm not the biggest fan of his 9th symphony, especially the choral part. But, many people consider that his ultimate achievement. But, it's my personal preference. | | | |
