I don't think we've had a thread about it here; are you a fan of jazz, or classical, music?

What is a modern classical? It's a new term to me. Care to explain?
I can't really understand classic; it doesn't matter how hard I try. I can't say that I like Jazz; it doesn't touch my heart. I like Michael Franks like a lot. Is he jazz? If he is, then I suppose I like it.
Eggplant - Michael Franks

Classical music that is done by artists in the 20th and 21st century. From what I understand, the classical music done by contempary artists differs from the form done in Mozart, Chopin, and Beethoven's era.

I might not get into classical so much, but I never heard any new classical musician - at least the one who created new style or broke some new ground in the year 2001 and later (21th century). And when I discussed with somebody about Igor Stravinsky, he insisted that Stravinsky is not classic, or perhaps modern classic, like you called the 20th century 'classical' music.
Perhaps it's just a term, but doesn't classical music have its special form, harmony, melody, and structures? Cause I think, the word classic is used too often wrong (like calling "Smoke on the water" as classic).
And what differs classical music from baroque, for example?

I don't know who Stravinsky is....but 'classical' music most often associated with people like Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Bach etc. Concertos, symphonies, opera....that kind of stuff. It focuses more on instrumentation. Most people who think of 'classical' think of them. I don't listen to it, I don't know what classical musicians are out today so I can't go into detail but from what I gather when I did take music classes in school, what classical musicians do now and what they did in he pre-1900 era.....the structure of the music is different.

Nothing. Baroque was just an era. The same way the Harlem Renaissance was an era or the Roaring 20's was an era. It's still classical music....just a lot more prominent and prolific artists emerged during that period of time. I believe the music was expanded to include vocal arrangements during that time as well.

I'm not for the most part but I respect it because classic & jazz are one of the few music genres that requires all around talent and aptitude to succeed in, and doesn't care about looks or glitz.

Stravinsky was one of the most prominent figures in neo-classicism (classical music in 20th century). I knew the name because of the movie with Mads Mikkelsen (he played as Igor Stravinsky).
Discussing with a classical lover beside me at home, I tend to believe that the term 'classical' is more based on the era/period of a special genre in the music than the music itself.
Thanks anyway, for the answer.

I've been meaning to ask you this Miss NY. You've mentioned a couple of times that you'd like to learn the sax. Do you have any particular artists that inspired this interest?

A brother I used to work with turned me on to M.F. back in the 80s. LOL, he told me, his words, that he never failed to get any trim any time he played him for a date.

I guess this would be considered "modern". It was written in the 20th Century. This is The Planets - Mars, Bringer of War by Gustav Holst. If I was a pro boxer or a major league closer, this would be the music I'd enter to.

LOL.
Not the exact same word, but a friend of mine had the same idea.

Marc, if you like Beethoven, maybe you're interested in to check out "Immortal Beloved" with Gary Oldman. Beautiful movie!

Mos Def! One of my favorite scenes is the premier of the 9th. The look inside his mind as he recalls the inspiration for some of it is fictional but moving. I do believe it's historically accurate that someone had to turn him to face the audience at the end because he was stone deaf.

We've all heard this. The piece does have a name. Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi

The girl in the orange bikini in the Rumpshaker video. I thought she looked cool with that sax:
LOL, nah. I just like the sound of the instrument. Kenny G you can keep though. I'll take Bradford Marsalis, Grover Washington, Coltrane, David Sanchez, Arturo Tappin and Glen Da Costa.
