Lets start by addressing a few things from last thread
>>63855726
>You're implying there's a limit on what popular musicians can produce, and that there is no limit on what composers with degrees can produce. This is bullshit. You can do literally anything with a DAW and internet access.
Wouldn't it be more limiting not to learn as much as possible about your chosen art form? Giving someone a DAW and internet access doesn't really give them the knowledge needed to make anything outside popular music.
To do "anything" you need know learn about "everything". Only then will you be ready. An untrained musician can write whatever sounds good to them, and while this might be enough for plebs to appreciate, some of us need something more interesting. 4 part polyphony or applied chords or interesting modulations. Writing what "sounds good" is only the first part of writing music. From there you need to learn about the various techniques and expand what you can do.
I would also argue that writing a timeless composition that people can appreciate in 100+ years takes more skill than playing an improv set. While being a performer is its own set of skills, its nothing without composition. Improv is simply regurgitating the scales, shapes and chords you already know, but in stream of consciousness, instead of a carefully planned out composition. Why not carefully plan out a composition that sounds like an improvisation, but can be replicated over and over by different performers? Many great modern composers do this. They start with an improvisation, and form it into a masterpiece.
>>63869274
Aspiring composer here. Is there a particular way you recommend to learn these things?
What would be the next best way to study these things if my college doesn't have a music major? It has something like a minor that I'm going to start this august, but I'd appreciate all tools that someone with experience would suggest I use, be them online or books or whatever.
And thanks; I think you're post is very insightful.
>>63869715
The best way is to take a music degree, you're surrounded by people who know what they're talking about, and are happy to answer questions. They carefully guide you through learning the various elements of music, from composition to music history, and you work through the course with your peers so you can get together and discuss things you might be having trouble with.
The other option is to learn what you can from sites like these:
https://www.musictheory.net/lessons
http://tobyrush.com/theorypages/
But you'll have to force yourself to go through them very thoroughly and try out each technique. Writing classical is also largely about writing for real performers, which is something the internet can't really teach you how to do. you need experience getting your pieces played by real performers. this is another thing that most [good] music degrees should include, especially if you're majoring in composition, you expect to have workshops where your pieces are played by real players and dissected constructively.
Can any of you recommend me some avant-garde contemporary choral in the same vein as this? I'm already familiar with Meredith Monk.

I'm trying to compile a relatively comprehensive list of contemporary choral composers and thus far, I'm familiar with: Adams, Tavener, Jenkins, Whitacre, Williams, Brissoto, Shaw, Schnittke, Monk, Zorn, Williamson, Golijov, Durufle, Musgrave, Rutter, Esenvalds, Mealor, Gjeilo, Panufnik, Dove, MacMillan, Xenakis, MacMillan, Lauridsen, Muhly, Tormis, Einhorn and of course Pärt. Am I missing anyone?

>>63869274
>Wouldn't it be more limiting not to learn as much as possible about your chosen art form?
Of course. I would recommend everyone to learn as much music theory. If you've got the time I'd recommend to learn Byzantine, Turkish and Indian theory too but saying that not knowing these things render someone incapable is just retarded.
>An untrained musician can write whatever sounds good to them
Protip: this is all anyone with talent is doing, trained or otherwise. Knowing theory can make you more fluent and help your workflow instead of fumbling around but it won't give someone without talent talent. You can write music using formulae but it won't be good unless you've got talent. Machines can probably do it better than you.
>4 part polyphony or applied chords or interesting modulations.
Nigger this isn't even that esoteric. You can learn all of this shit online, many people can hear this shit in their heads. If it's easier for you to translate this with a pen and paper, great, if it's easier to make it on a DAW, great. If it's easier to play it on a Piano, great.
The average music major has probably got more knowledge of theory than Bach did but they're mostly shit.
>Improv is simply regurgitating the scales, shapes and chords you already know
If you think everything is so banal and formulaic then you don't understand improv. Bach improvised all the time. Chopin's improv was better than his compositions by many accounts. In modern times Boulez and Stockhausen used improv. It's a completely different process and the results are often better.
>>63877917
Improv is still based on the things you know anon. either that or just putting your hands on random notes, which isn't very skillful. A good improv set has the musicians listening to each other and playing complementary parts. Usually this involves "what key is he playing in" and "what scales can I play that will work". I know plenty about improv, I've been doing it for 16+ years. People get to the point of learning pitch axis so they can play scales that sound wrong, but are actually theoretically correct.
>... learn Byzantine, Turkish and Indian theory too but saying that not knowing these things render someone incapable is just retarded.
someone who didn't know turkish maqams would be incapable of writing a piece in the traditional turkish style. You need to know how to detune your scale. I've used a few of these maqams/modes in pieces, very interesting and easy to work with.
As for talent, thats not what we're discussing. I'm sure we agree that theory only improves your skill set. Knowledge and talent are two separate entities
poly get out
>>63878164
>someone who didn't know turkish maqams would be incapable of writing a piece in the traditional turkish style
You can know them without formal training. There are hundreds of Turks and Arabs who probably never finished high school who can still compose music in that style.
>Improv is still based on the things you know anon. either that or just putting your hands on random notes, which isn't very skillful.
Sure but a good instrumentalist knows his instrument intimately and can play a melody as well or better than he could sing it or speak the language he was born with. Saying they're just "regurgitating scales, shapes and chords" is simply wrong.
>>63877527
I know you're baiting but if you're not capable of also enjoying contemporary music along with classical, you're a fool
>>63878353
>There are hundreds of Turks and Arabs who probably never finished high school who can still compose music in that style.
They were brought up with that style though. an average western composer or musician would still have little chance to create something genuine in that style, unless they knew something about turkish scales at the very least.
>play a melody
that melody is based on the scales and modes they know. regurgitation is the act of bringing something up without conscious thought. I think it applies perfectly to improvisation. You have digested many types of music over your life either by listening or learning, and these musical ideas are regurgitated when you improv.
Why would jazz players obsess so much about chord voicings and inversions? so they can use them when they jam. Same with modes etc. You learn modes so you can do cool solos that sound outside normal major and minor keys. You learn pitch axis etc. The best improvisers are the ones that seamlessly blend tasteful playing with theory (ie. hitting the right notes).
>>63872841
What counts as contemporary? I mean, I'm not sure that Durufle is that contemporary.
And if you're subjecting yourself to Rutter and Jenkins, you should probably listen to Chilcott too.
And for Mealor, listen to his Crucifixus. It's not purely choral but in my opinion, it's the best thing he's written. He's turned into a bit of a hack these days since he's coasting on his success, but he buys me drinks when I see him so I can't complain.
And I was also going to suggest Tormis, but you've already got him there.
>>63878531
if an improviser just hit the right notes all of the time, that would get boring as fuck, that's why people do crazy ornamental shit when they are playing.
>musical ideas are regurgitated when you improv
I'm not sure this is the case. sure sometimes, if you're playing in a certain scale or mode, you have certain tendencies, but free-form jamming is all about the possibilities of sounds. you can get completely new ideas spontaneously while improvising. just like you can writing notes down on paper. a musical idea can form itself in new ways in the moments when you're jamming and you can always analyze it later to discover what exact sound makes it new.
>>63878531
>They were brought up with that style though.
Just as westerners are brought up with western styles.
I think using the word regurgitate is dismissive, whether you're doing it deliberately I don't know.
> blend tasteful playing with theory
To a large extent, yes. I think talent comes into play more here than formal theory. Formal training is one way to learn music but not the only one.
As for the rest of what you're saying, I more or less agree with you. I don't know if you're the same guy from yesterday.

I'm looking for some fucking hardcore, dark, badass opera shit. I'm just looking for something intense and dark. I'm relatively new to classical music, but I usually like stuff that's really intense, like early swans, whitehouse, crust punk, old school death metal, slowcore like carissa's wierd. So when I say I want something with a razor edge, I'm not fucking around. I wanna music that I could smoke a fucking huge cigar and wear combat boots and listen to.

I want to work on recognizing elements of music that I'm probably overlooking. Right now I'm blindly grasping onto pieces on the basis of visceral emotional reaction, but I know if I knew more about the thought and theory behind the music I would probably appreciate it in a more in-depth way
>>63878531
>(ie. hitting the right notes).
there are no right notes. It's art. It's literally just different frequencies kiddo.
People extract meaning and enjoyment from those frequencies. Humans are different, and so are our tastes. There is no right and wrong just as equally as there is no right eye color or some other human characteristic.

https://youtu.be/FSFFR9lSVJc
already subtitled. well directed and decent acting. it's not in the original language though but it's still good for a starter.
>>63883861
tristan is quite energetic though, especially if you have a conductor that doesn't plod his way through the score. unlike some other Wagnerian operas (like, say, Die Walkure, which has some pretty boring parts) i think Tristan is probably his most immediately engaging opera and also the one that probably holds your attention for longest amount of time (except Gotterdammerung, perhaps). it doesn't have the concise nature of Wozzeck, Elektra, or Otello, but it is otherwise very succesful in regards to the immediacy in which it draws you into it's sound world, just like those other three aforementioned operas.
i would argue though that Gotterdammerung is probably overall more 'dark' than Tristan and also more involving, but it requires listening to the three previous operas in the Ring set.
and Parsifal is a bit more of a slow burn at first, but it is immensely rewarding as well.
Anyone could help me find this song?

The notes are supposed to be a choir. They are not the actual notes but the melody goest something like that. There's a Harp or maybe an actual piano in the background.
It was kind of folky, too. And the composer was maybe Hungarian. I reaaally don't remember and I need to remember. Someone posted it here before.

>>63883250
It's an oratorio which is kinda like an unstated opera, but Bach's passion settings. Most people say St. Matthew Passion is better but I think St. John is more accessible as it's an hour shorter (still 2 hours) and the opening (Herr, Unser Herrscherr) is pure drama. If you don't have time for the whole things I also recommend the opening of St. Matthew.

In my (intro) music theory we used the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 5th concerto as an example of a deceptive cadence and when the professor asked if anyone's heard the piece before, I was the only one to raise my hand.

they "enjoy" it in the sense that they spend hours every day practicing, but without any care about the context or how the damn piece sounds or its musical implications

Although shitposting aside, I've actually learnt a fair bit from /classical/ since I started browsing in 2012ish.

Christ, my friend who only has a passing interest in classical sounds like he knows more than them.
How hopeless.

Yeah most singers are absolutely hopeless when it comes to anything that is outside their repertoire/not for voice
The story that I always get out is that one day, a choir that I sing with had Gardiner visiting to do a 2 hour conducting masterclass of sorts. Of the ~30 people in the choir (and this isn't some community choir that just does arrangements of pop songs, but a chapel choir which sings 3 services per week at minimum), about 5 people knew who he was.
Hey guys ! If you need a non-Classical anon to prove that classical music is the best, which albums/symphonies would you recommend him ?

Guys, does anyone have a mega link to Monteverdi's works? Would highly appreciate it if you could provide me with such a link, torrents aren't doing it for me, too few seeders.
Should I get into Machaut if I enjoyed Perotin?
