Which composers do you associate with which GMG members?

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

I also seem to associate him with Havergal Brian....

Sarge -- Havergal Brian

I won't believe anyone who says otherwise. Not even Sarge! 

You may very well be right about that, Ken. He does seem to be one of the few gung-ho Brian supporters here.

Them Havergal Brian Nutters....

Yeah, those guys are C-R-A-Z-Y!

So is this thread on personality or what we actually compose? That would help

It's really more of an observational thing I would think. Basically, this is the I've interpreted this thread: over the course x amount of months/years, what composer would you say this or that member has the strongest connection to?

Have I been here long enough for an assessment?

The only person here who I know could give a fair assessment at this point, would be my pal Jessop.

I really cannot say who you've observed or who you haven't and whether you've been here long enough, but this is merely a 'fun' thread. I don't think the intention was to be that of something serious.

John Adams.

My wife and Kimi: Mahler

I don't even know which compose I am supposed to be associated with!

I always fancied you a Brucknerian for some reason, Sarge.

You aren't wrong. Wagner, Mahler, Bruckner...my trinity.

Sarge -- Havergal Brian

I can live with that

Henning

How did you guess?

Vanessa is going to Boston again early next year and she wants me and Kimi to go along. I will if health allows. Maybe I can finally meet my hero.

And I, mine.

I'm beginning to associate Sorabji with Thatfabulousalien

[springrite]

I'm beginning to see why, while I'm influenced largely by contemporary music and contemporary compositional techniques; I share quite a few obtained practices relating to polyphony, harmony and development etc.
There is a bit of a connection between our personalities too, but I would differentiate myself as a more humoursome person.

I admire his work greatly, even though a large amount has gone unperformed (for two obvious reasons).

Thanks Jessop, it's oddly inspiring 

Or he could just mean that you can go on and on and on and on... 

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

I think your ambitious quirk in your self drive to create complex works that cross between a very traditional classical approach and experimentalism is where I see the link to Sorabji. And you do go on and on, but I like that.

FWIW, I associate (poco) Sforzando with Beethoven.

Or ad nauseam, as the case may be.

Interesting, I admit I probably think a little too much? 

Well i don't know, I don't think much at all.......

A friend of mine said he associated me with Martinů and Rafael (ritter) also associated me with this composer, so I'll take it! Guilty as charged. As for a member I might not have mentioned, I associate Madiel with Holmboe. He seems to know so much about the composer that I can't help but think of him as 'the Holmboe guy'. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
