Late Romantic Period Composers
E. Spaceman:
--- Quote from: FeralCats ---
The problem with this is that neither of them did much REAL innovation. It was all done by one man before them, much more radically.
Yes, I speak of Erik Satie. A true genius. Debussy gets all the credit Satie deserves-Ravel and Debussy (admittedly grudgingly) agree.

I agree with this completely, however innovation is not my priority when listening to music, especially in pieces by men who were dead before my grandfather is alive. Gymnopedies is one fucking awesome piece of music though.

--- Quote from: books_out_loud ---i dont know era's, what kind of dates are we talking about? like, 14th century? mid 18th century? what?

It's the same as eras for literature, art, culture and everything. How old are you? You strike me as pretty young, in which case I'll forgive you. Anyways, you can find a bit about the periods of music on this page. Google is your friend, if you want to know something!

I actually sorta liked Jesus Christ Superstar, if only for the sheer ridiculousness factor. It had some pretty good songs, I'll say that much.
But is it weird that after seeing it Judas was my favorite character?
Bastardous Bassist:
--- Quote from: FeralCats ---Jesus Christ Superstar was at a time when Andrew Lloyd Webber had talent, and ambition, and wasn't afraid to stray from the path. It's the only work of his I really enjoy.

Like I said, I'm told it's pretty good by people whose musical tastes I hold very highly. I'm still not going to listen to/see it, just because of that one musical abomination that was Joseph.
Borondir:
Andrew Lloyd Webber is a scourge on humanity who doesn't deserve mention in the same thread as these late Romantic geniuses...haha, well maybe he's not quite that bad, but he is pretty terrible. Sondheim, on the other hand, is amazing...
