mcarp555	Date: July 22, 2002 @ 11:44 AM Hey, I'll submit Julia Lozo because she's young, she's talented, and she's working with a style of music most people here can't even begin to comprehend. Support the arts!
dsch	Date: July 22, 2002 @ 1:32 PM is flattered Thanks!
bastardsofglory	Date: July 22, 2002 @ 2:16 PM I'll go with Julia Lozo as well Although I appreciate X-mas carols, I like to hear original material (at least a warped version of a cover

GrooveTonic	Date: January 29, 2003 @ 10:41 AM DM = dmusic = digital music
milladrive	Date: January 29, 2003 @ 3:58 PM clears throat Ladies and gentlemen, the meaning of DM at DMusic is not Digital Music. It is Dimension Music. Thank you. Now back to our lovely playlists of cheery classical music.
GrooveTonic	Date: January 29, 2003 @ 5:56 PM Someone might wanna think about changing the logo then. It says "digital music" right under dmusic and under that it says "the independent digital music community" so it was a natural assumption. doh! Actually, now that you mention it, I remember a thread like this before and I remember it being said that the d didn't stand for digital.
CountryMusikMan	Date: April 9, 2003 @ 10:46 PM Julia Lozo very talented
dsch	Date: April 10, 2003 @ 1:54 AM Or were you being sarcastic and I'm totally not getting it because it's almost 2 AM and I just got out of rehearsal 45 minutes ago? suffices to be amused that the S has apparently disappeared from the end of her last name Thankyew all!" id="40739">! I always thought it was "Digital Music" as well! Though classical and digital tend not to happen at once, but ah well... Or were you being sarcastic and I'm totally not getting it because it's almost 2 AM and I just got out of rehearsal 45 minutes ago? suffices to be amused that the S has apparently disappeared from the end of her last name Thankyew all!
nottporn96	Date: April 10, 2003 @ 7:53 AM that girl julie !!!!!! nice refreshing change @ last
PaBlikMM	Date: May 11, 2003 @ 2:01 PM What do you think abou film music and composers of this kind of music? Somebody told me, that the composers of film music are somethink like Mozart or Bach of this age.
PaBlikMM	Date: May 11, 2003 @ 2:08 PM i read here something about classical vs digital ... check out my DM site in few days ... i think i found the way to solve this "problem" ... check it and let me know ...

Izekial	Date: August 9, 2003 @ 8:58 PM I have to give props to Mitya too, though this is obviously late. Classical music is very complicated and difficult to perform. Most anyone can pick up a guitar and make up a song (aka me), but it takes a lot of time and patients with this style. Go Mitya!

robin101	Date: December 17, 2003 @ 11:38 AM Eras: Overviews of the six main periods in music history -- Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Twentieth Century. There are obviously several eras of "Traditional Music". Most refer to all of it as "Classical" when, in fact, the proper term is "Traditional Music". All of these forms of music are NOT to be considered "Classical". Calling it all: "Classical" is analagous to referring to all of the last 40 years of our own music as simply: "Rock & Roll". Subsequently, I do believe the subject matter at hand should be referred to as "Traditional Music" (which is the proper name), unless the music is specific to the time period of "Classical Music". This is just a note. Otherwise, we should refer to "hip hop" as "Jazz". "Bach" must be turning over in his grave right now. This is not meant to be sarcastic or negative...simply informative. The category (and/or forum), should be called "Traditional Music".
mmclara	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 9:48 AM A vote for Miriam Gomez-Moran. She is a performer, not a composer. I like her playing very much.
JByron	Date: December 27, 2003 @ 11:06 AM "Eras: Overviews of the six main periods in music history -- Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Twentieth Century." You forgot Impressionism - which covers some of the most harmonically interesting pre-modern stuff!
miriamgomezm...	Date: December 28, 2003 @ 12:02 PM And what about second Viennese School? Dodecaphonism? Serialism? I think "Twentieth Century" is too vague. Are there many people here interested in Classical music?
miriamgomezm...	Date: December 28, 2003 @ 12:03 PM And, thanks, mmclara.
johnnygnote	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 12:53 AM I love Mozart... and DeBussy Vivaldi is cool too....If it's not Baroque, don't fix it I second mmclara's vote.
miriamgomezm...	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 2:35 AM Baroque... Have you seen my avatar? It is part of my harpsichord.
johnnygnote	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 6:41 AM Nice wood Mirriam I imagine the black keys are ebony. What are the other kesy made of and how old is your Harpsichord?
miriamgomezm...	Date: December 30, 2003 @ 7:58 PM I think it is Olive tree. The instrument is a copy of a 17th century Italian harpsichord and it was built by a German guy called Thomas Schüler two years and a half ago. It has a very interesting sound, penetrant and alive. It is undecorated since I did not want to spend money on such things, but I think I will decorate it next year myself.
gcnmarcus	Date: December 30, 2003 @ 10:18 PM I used to think the same way robin101 did about the labeling of what should be classical. However, we would then need to call basketball maybe "hoops", football maybe "tackling", soccer maybe "kick", volleyball maybe "arm", etc... The common denominator is they all use a ball. Likewise, considering the time after Raphael, art was always judged on certain standards which have the same veil classical does on the development of music from medieval to the 20th century. Just because you have a section which a group called classical in between is like calling a street "Wall Street" Does that mean it has to be a wall? No, it's just a name, get over it.
miriamgomezm...	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 8:43 PM What names would you suggest instead of "Classical"?
milladrive	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 8:54 PM Umm, yes, when Wall Street was built, lower Manhattan had a huge wall from east to west as protection from the natives that bordered on the street that now possesses the name. ...Sorry, I had to clear that up. Point is, most things do indeed have a reason for their labels. I'm no expert, but I believe there are eight accepted "periods" of classical... Medieval Renaissance Baroque Classical Romantic Post-Romantic Modern Contemporary ..And nine "genres" that fall within the classical realm... Ballet Chamber Choral Concerto Keyboard Opera Orchestral Symphony Vocal Am I too far off?
miriamgomezm...	Date: December 31, 2003 @ 9:01 PM I see: so you would combine for example "Romantic" with "Concerto" and so on. Not a bad idea.
Slurgi	Date: January 1, 2004 @ 2:55 AM I say its just left at classical. All the other genres and sub-genres are too confusing, and most people (myself included) just dont care. I could call a lump group of my music as classical music, but i could also say some of it would be suited for a videogame/movie, so should i call it 'modern post-classical videogame music'? I mean, for example, i could take 'punk/ska' and turn it into oi punk Street Punk Psychobilly Emo Ska Pop-Punk East Bay Punk Hardcore Goth Punk Thrash punk New-Wave punk Pre-punk emocore screamo Post-punk Art-punk Skater punk When it comes to metal (and most other genres), i could do the same thing, as with classical. Get over it, call it a univerally accepted name that joe shmoe will understand, and accept it at that
gcnmarcus	Date: January 1, 2004 @ 11:56 AM milla, you seem to have an object-fetish. Just because there was a wall or will be a wall, doesn't enter into the equation when people talk about "Wall Street hears the bulls roar - Seattle Times - 7 hours ago" - current google blurb. Just wanted to clear that up. NO NO NO, there aren't "periods" of anything, a period could be denoting 1 point in time to another. For example, during the PERIOD of time I was at music school, I realized a lot of my fellow students and teachers were willing to enslave themselves in only western rules and regulations. From that, do you know what period I was in school? NO you don't. Now, how do you use period? In music, you have period instruments from various points in time. You can play a period instrument, but I assure you that you aren't limited to only playing them during 1 range of time. For example, you could have played a period instrument yesterday, today, or maybe you will play a period instrument tommorrow. Does this tell us which period instrument you played, play, or will play? NO it doesn't. In conclusion, "Period" does not establish a time on its own. The person has to attach a time frame with the word in order for it have a time frame. Regarding the term classical, if you only want to call music in the west from this date to another date "classical", you will have a hard time appreciating "classical" Noh music. Now where will you place Noh music where will you place classical Noh music? in between Baroque and Romantic? between Medieval and Renaissance? And in the words of Slurgi, "...call it a univer[s]ally accepted name that joe shmoe will understand, and accept it at that" Universal, not just western ideology.
milladrive	Date: January 1, 2004 @ 1:39 PM genres suck, and in a perfect world, music would be music. But there are many people who feel they create a specific brand within a certain genre and would prefer to market themselves to the world appropriately so that listeners of that specific style can find their works. Not to mention, I based my post on the info I trust and acknowledge used by the scholars at All Music Guide. Feel free to argue with them." id="76651">An "object fetish"? I'd be curious to see some other things I've said that've given you that impression. I think you're reading too deeply into my "period" statement. Never did I imply that by placing these labels on those periods were musicians relegated to only those periodic trends. For instance, during the "period" that ragtime was the popular model of music creation, was it the ONLY model? Of course not. The periods I put on the table for classical are just rough eras when the popularity of those models were in vogue. And, as we well know, there are "sub-genres" for every form of music. Hey, listen, I'll be the first person to claim that genres suck, and in a perfect world, music would be music. But there are many people who feel they create a specific brand within a certain genre and would prefer to market themselves to the world appropriately so that listeners of that specific style can find their works. Not to mention, I based my post on the info I trust and acknowledge used by the scholars at All Music Guide. Feel free to argue with them.
gcnmarcus	Date: January 1, 2004 @ 2:55 PM "The periods I put on the table for classical are just rough eras when the popularity of those models were in vogue." So classical doesn't have to be a period? GOOD!! Now extend that logic, look to other continents. AMG won't help you, it's a joke!!!
