I know hardly anything about classical kinds of music, however i am looking for any dark/moody music similar to the music written by Wojciech Kilar for “Bram Stokers Dracula” or the intro of “The Ninth Gate”.

How do venue and audience effect if you determine if music is classical?

It’s been suggested with a few questions lately that because music is written for film or video games that it is not classical.

While I generally don’t think of film music and video game music as being classical, isn’t the choice of intended venue, purpose, and audience a weak justification for that position.

Do you think that’s a valid justification? why?

Try a thought experiment and ask yourself if these exact same pieces were presented in a concert hall as classical and you had no knowledge of what they were written for how would you react?

Wes M asked:


I don’t know if it’s called Baroque, or whatever, but today I was listening to a Mozart station on Last.fm and a Beethoven song followed by a Brahms song came on that gave me chills. It wasn’t the stupid upbeat classical, but really slow and haunting. Does anyone know other songs or any way to find more of this kind of music?

What are the different types of classical music and how do they differ?

Bob asked:


I was mainly hoping for the differences between symphony, concerto’s, minuet etc. the main types of classical music will do just fine as i know it will take a while to explain.

I really need a slow classical/piano piece of music for a drama GCSE scene for a flashback of an explosion, much like Ludovico Einaudi : ‘Ritornare’ but obviously not that!
thanks! I need it more modern classical to the older classical music if that makes sense!

Prosthetic Limb asked:


I’m assuming if you are in this section you listen to classical. Who was the composer that you initially listened to? Or who was the person, thing that brought you into it?

Mine was Mozart and my piano teacher…a few years back. I’m glad I converted.

What pieces of classical/medieval music are examples of medieval the Dorian musical mode?

George asked:


Have you any examples of classical/medieval music that specifically use the medieval Doric (or Dorian) musical mode. Wikipedia quote only Beethoven in his Missa Solemnis during the credo, does anyone know any others, the more the better! There are plenty of modern examples, but I am specifically searching for classical and even better medieval examples. Thank you for your help
