Our mission is to select 30 composers and put them through a rigorous voting procedure to determine the top five GMG composers.

Selection Rules:

1.  You may select one or two composers on a daily basis.

2.  Once you have selected a particular composer, you may not pick that composer again; it's one and done.

3.  If and when that composer is selected by two fellow game participants, he/she will be game ready.

My two picks for today:

Johann Sebastian Bach
Gustav Mahler 

Gurn Blanston

"l do not consider my music as atonal, but rather as non-tonal. I feel the unity of all keys. Atonal music by modern composers admits of no key at all, no feeling of any definite center." - Arnold Schoenberg

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Mahler
Sibelius
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

Shouldn't there be two votes for Sibelius? :)
