    Default Strauss

    I have just got a cd of The Magic of Strauss.

    I know.

    But now I love everything from AC/DC to Strauss.
    Weird or what?
    Must be an age thing?

    Yeah!...I have similar taste in music, but my musically uneducated spouse and offspring (kids not the group) won't let me play any thing classical, so I have to wait till they all go out .

    My parents are really into classic, but as kids we hated classical. So my parents bought the Hooked on Classics collection. Classical music to a rock beat, don't mind it!

    Good music is good music, genre and date of composition matter not one whit. Unless the genre features Miles Davis. Then it's always sublime... mostly.

    What gets me about Strauss and Co.
    Is that they had nothing to work off, what made their music is from inside their head.
    Muso's of now a days have other stuff to get ideas from.
    Dont get me wrong, I love the music from NOW....
    But the old dudes actualy made music.

    My favourite is 50's Rock'n'Roll, my kids make fun of it, but when I point out that a lot of their "music" is just another version of the stuff I like, they say "No way". So I drag out the original and they stand there looking at each other puzzled, It's so funny!...

    Good music is good music, whatever the age of the composer/artist, genre' becomes blurred as your palate expands.
    Not an age thing Al more an open mind thing I reckon, no. 3 brother was a professional muso for 15 years (having kids fixed that)played in successful heavy metalish band for 3 years, then folk, then 6 years in very successful Irish/folk/rockish band fulltime, there's alot of us with eclectic tastes, we're just not "hip".

    My collection from the Clash, Sgt Peppers, the stoutfellows(irish folk)to yes classical. In other words from 110 dba to 110dba, just in different tempo

    catchy catchphrase needed here, apply in writing to the above .

    John Paul Young (?) ex Led Zeppelin (Stairway to Heaven) now writes Spanish Madrigal, KISS were all clasical musicians, there are still a lot of classical composers out their still writing without any aids.
    I wonder if the famous ANON family are still writing

    Well, the instruments weren't sitting around idle awaiting Strauss et al. Anyone who studied music would have been exposed to lots of music. Just not on the radio or stereo.
    The genre we call classical today was nothing more than the pop music of the era. And with pop there has always been the real musicians and the copiers.

    NOt quite true, there were the serious writers as opposed to the popular gigues (jigs) and dansayrs (dances) of the peasants, often passed down but never written, some composers did use them as a basis for elaborate composition.
    And J S Bach put it all together by creating the scales and signatures we know today.

    Hey you edited while I was replying...............foul
