Interactive Composer Game (Selection Thread)

[Sammy]

Not exactly joking around, just a rallying cry for Verdi.... 0:)

So I removed Verdi from on-going and put him in game ready; now I've reversed it and end up where I started.  Please don't do that again; I don't need extra labor that gets me nowhere.

What you should have done is ask for the "Rallying Cry Waiver" - works every time.

Ligeti
Part

My vote should make Ligeti game ready.

[Baron Scarpia]

Maybe there are some closet Finzi and Martinu fans on the sidelines, waiting to step in?

Heck and damn if I had enough time I would vote for Machaut and Perotin next. And Stockhausen! He looks pretty lonely down there with only 1 vote so far

Special note: It's a bit too late for me to bring in other composers at this juncture, so I'll probably stick to composers that have already been mentioned hence the two choices above.

Too bad I was too late to enter some major composers from the Baroque and before.

I mean.... Desprez, Monteverdi and JS Bach?  That even doesn't come close....

Machaut's name was put forward but left out...
And Ockeghem and Lassus are really big names as well.
No Byrd, Victoria, Sweelinck, Schütz, Charpentier, F. Couperin, Händel, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Zelenka...

I think I'll skip this time.....
