A Composer Game

[KimLCMS]

I'll name a composer and lets see how many copositions you can name by that composer. Only name one compoition per post. I'll give out blessings and reps as I please

The first composer is J.S. Bach

Have fun!!!

 

[RevThomas]

The first one that comes to my mind is:

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire

A wonderful piece.

Umm how about the Well Tempered Clavier? I know some other pieces but can't think of the name. I know one is a Fugue of G or something, it was in the movie Master and Commander.
Jan

 

[RevThomas]

I will contribute another composition:

St Matthew's Passion

J.S.Bach was a special composer who dedicated his works to God

 

[KimLCMS]

B minor Mass (although a Lutheran, he worked for the Catholic Church for awhile)

 

[RevThomas]

Some of Bach's most popular pieces are the Brandenburg Concertos.

Each one individually is wonderful, but listened to collectively, they are truly an amazing experience.

Praise God for the talent He bestowed on Bach.

Some really cool trumpet parts in the Brandenburg Concertos. (I'm a trumpet player)

 

[willard3]

Cantata no. 4, "Christ Lag in Todesbanden"

 

[KimLCMS]

Ok.....

How about a new composer?

Gustav Mahler

 

[willard3]

Symphony no. 1 in D Major, "The Titan"

 

[RevThomas]

Piano Quartet in A Minor

 

[KimLCMS]

Symphony 5 is my favorite... again with the cool trumpet parts, especially the very beginning of the first movement.

 

[janny108]

Mahler's 8th symphony.
Jan

 

[KimLCMS]

Ok not as many responses to Mahler. How about an easy one....

W.A. Mozart

 

[willard3]

Piano Concerto no. 20 in D minor...the one I played!

 

[RevThomas]

One of my all time favorite pieces of music is Mozart's Requiem...to think he was still composing it while on his deathbed is astounding and makes this piece all the more special to me.

 

[janny108]

Marriage of Figaro
Jan

 

[stonetoflesh]

Late to the game...

J.S. Bach - Fantasia in G Major, BWV 572
Gustav Mahler - Das Lied von der Erde
W.A. Mozart - Symphony in C, no. 41 ("Jupiter"), K.551

 

[KimLCMS]

I'm partial to the 40th symphony because it was the first cassette tape I ever bought.

 

[RevThomas]

Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra, a wonderfully written piece
