Im talking from Middle ages chant up to 20th century symphony. Your favorite composer(s) or pieces of music

For me:

Composers: Aaron Copland, Igor Stravinski, Vaclav Nehlybel, Modest Mussorgsky, Gustav Holst, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Pieces: Fanfare for the common man (Copland), Firebird Suite (Stravinski), Trittico (Nehlybel), Pictures at an Exhibition (Mussorgsky), The Planets - Jupiter (Holst)       1812 Overture (Full song) (Tchaikovsky)

In this new recording, Alison Balsom, the 2009 Classical BRIT Artist of the Year, plays popular concertos on the trumpet. They were originally composed for the violin or oboe by Vivaldi, Tartini, B. Marcello, Albinoni and Cimarosa, accompanied by the Scottish Ensemble.

Firebird Suite... Ahh yes. That brings back fond old memories. When I was in high school, we played a "Fire Show" theme and the Firebird Suite was our encore song. Please watch the video of my marching band as we performed at the State Championships. I was a Freshman during this time and played the trumpet.

Moonlight Sonata

Its a lovely piece of music, very emotional and complex. I love it more than any other classical piece.

I also disarmed the Girlfriend ack by telling her (truthfully) that it makes me think of her when I hear it.  :cheers:

Surprised no one's mentioned Johann Sebastian yet. I love his cello suites.

You still hear Bach's Prelude from Suite No.1 in G Major frequently on TV and commercials.

Mentioned before but I've always like Haydn, I also like Claudio Monteverdi's Vespro Della Beata Vergine.

This was recorded in 1989 at the Basilica di San Marco in Venice, which was the original concert space the piece was composed for.
