So I'm wanting to get into film scoring but have no experience arranging orchestral scores, can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I should be listening to for inspiration? I'm not quite sure what I want to do yet in terms of style as I'm pretty new to classical. I can already read music and play piano, is there anything else I should be prepared for?
I listen to Schnittke a lot and I'll wreck your skull with an eightball in a sock if you're having a problem with that
Angel Martinez
Schnittke more like SHITnittke lmao

Does anyone know a site like songkick (where you track "artists" and it tells you when they will be performing near you) but for classical composers? I listen to a lot of modern classical that doesn't get performed that often.
Josiah Wright
I've heard of websites that track everything-classical that is happening in a city, but nothing like that.
Jayden Young
im v new to classical, give me some recs if you may
I added all the local ensembles and concert halls into my bookmarks and check their schedule every now and then. Admittedly, the city I live in has like three halls...
Nathaniel Martin
This is why it's nice to have a weekly updated website indicating smaller events as well, often organized by students, that happen at other venues.
idk but listen to his string quartet, death and the maiden (and phuck that pedo roman polanski's gay movie by the same name)

wut is the noise at 2 min. in. sounds lyk vidya
Nolan Torres
urrite
William Hughes
Please recommend some lithurgic choir or orchestrated pieces. Requim was really beautiful
Oliver Garcia
You should listen to film scores and arrangements and listen to composers' opinions on how they arrange them. This video by Robert Israel is pretty good. youtube.com/watch?v=w4Zzry3u56c You should try to make sure the music can capture what is going on the screen.
who do people listen to atonal music? it's honestly, actually trash. of all the sub genres of classical it would honestly be the easiest for a computer to generate in a fashion that is indistinguishable from a human writer.
Grayson Gonzalez
Because it makes them seem smart. For them it's all about the image, not about whether if the music has any actual merit or if they even enjoy listening to it.

maybe for some artists like webern you could be right. nonetheless there are some legit gems like schoenberg's world famous pierrot lunaire
but i guess is right. a lot of people just listen to it because of the intellectual complexity it poses, and think "wow extended technique is so kool" and that atonality is basically reduced to slapping the fingerboard with the strings or random pizzicatos, which it obviously isn't.
just listen to some of it and see if you like it. it's fine to not like certain periods in classical, i for instance really dislike a lot of the classical period repertoire
please provide an articulated distinction between the two that is not extremely reductionistic

Pick the superior piano composer Ravel - 29 - 46% Debussy - 21 - 33% Scriabin - 13 - 21%
Ravel with his deserved position as GOAT of all composers, ever.

I seriously cannot get into Debussy, aside from Arabesque No. 1
The theme to Claire de Lune annoys the hell out of me, and everything else I hear by him is extremely boring. I appreciate his obviously unique and brilliant use of melody, but somebody needs to show me some of his better stuff.
Scriabin is one of my favorite composers though. Totally ahead of his time, and such a unique ear for melody. Some of his stuff kinda sounds metal. I actually just filmed a classical guitar video for one of his miniature preludes the other day.
What's a good piece by Ravel?
Asher Gonzalez
You guys ever heard of Edward Mcdowell? I just found him today.
He wrote a suite called "Sea pieces" for piano. They're really cool, kinda modern-ish sounding.
The Ravel stuff was okay, I didn't really like the Debussy stuff though.
I wish he had more pieces like Arabesque no. 1. I don't like when he kinda drifts around soundscapes, I like when he has clear melodies that get stuck in your head.
