Which composers do you associate with which GMG members?

[vandermolen]

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.

I would certainly associate you with Martinu John, not least because you have introduced me to so much of his music.


This is quite a fun thread which I've just enjoyed reading through. I laughed at being associated with 'any British or Nordic composer that you've never heard of'.

Jeffrey, you will always be associated with Vaughan Williams for me. Your knowledge of his own music, his history and the composer's discography is awe-inspiring. Thanks for the Martinů association --- I'll definitely take it!

No argument here since Debussy's portrait is hanging on my wall. I'm thinking of one for you...

Oh, think well, please. 

[Mahlerian]

'Tis fair, for certain.

I don't know if anyone else has made the association, but I think of Karl Henning as linking to Hindemith...

After mulling over possible candidates, I chose Tubin for you. It seems he's right up your alley (well...mine, too) and it seems his music does resonate deeply with you. Would this be a wrong association?

Haha yes, a great choice, he's one of my favorite symphonists ever. Over the years I've found immense pleasure in most of his music.

I like his music a lot as well. I should really plan some kind of Tubin-a-thon in the near future.

I have a framed drawing of VW on my wall (done by my dad) and a framed photo of NYM (Miaskovsky).


I'd also associate you with the great Nielsen.

Agree with this although I'd also associate Christo with Vagn Holmboe, Vasks and Hendrik Andriessen (but not Sibelius)

Nice list, spon on in each and every case.

For me, Karl Henning --- Charles Wuoirinen

I don't think anyone here associate me with any particular composer, though.

[springrite]

Thanks for the Martinů association --- I'll definitely take it!

I might say Stravinsky, if only because like you, he is also a chameleon!!!

Very nice, indeed, Jeffrey. I love Myaskovsky as well (and RVW of course). Nielsen, eh? I'll take him, too! Certainly amongst my favorites.

I don't listen to Stravinsky a whole lot, but I certainly can understand the association.

[pjme]

pjme with exotic composers from... Belgium and the Netherlands!
