Which composers do you associate with which GMG members?

[pjme]

... as well as the francophone world, isn't it? 

C'est vrai!

[Mirror Image]

I'll give this a try...

(In on particular order) -

Karl: Stravinsky (although Schoenberg and Shostakovich aren't too far behind)
Jeffrey (Vandermolen): Vaughan Williams
Jeffrey (JBS): Mahler
Karlo (North Star): Janáček
Brian: Dvořák
Madiel: Holmboe (Fauré would certainly be a second pick)
Rafael: Boulez
André: Reger
SymphonicAddict: Beethoven (even after all of the music he listened to, this is still the composer I associate with him the most)
Florestan: Schubert
Christo: Vaughan Williams
steve ridgway: Birtwistle
Mandryka: a cow

[Carlo Gesualdo]

I must confess I'm a bit surprised by the association with Beethoven. He's one of my favorites, but I don't regularly listen to his music lately. I feel I can be associated with Nielsen the most, or even Langgaard. An odd choice, I know haha. I have a strong affinity toward these two composers.

Whom do you associate whit me?

Carlo Gesualdo, perhaps?

Gesualdo, but I may be off the mark.

I agree with Mirror Image's list, a bit miffed I was left out.  This will be presumptuous, but I'll go ahead: If I had to associate myself with a composer(s) it would either be Bernstein or Cage or maybe Feldman.

Sorry, San Antone. You don't post here much these days and I certainly can't remember your own listening habits.

One doesn't have to listen to a composer regularly to be associated with him. I recall seeing many of your 'Top 10 Favorite Composers' or 'Top 20 Favorite Composers" lists and Beethoven is always in your 'Top 5'. There are probably some members here who would still associate me with Koechlin and, now that I think about it, that's fine if they do. When I first joined the forum, I believe I was right in the midst of a Koechlin phrase as it hadn't been too long since I had discovered his music. Anyway, I probably would associate myself the most with Debussy if I was going to be honest about it.

[Symphonic Addict]

Some I remember right now:

André: Reger
Andrei: Chopin
Christo: Vaughan Williams
Irons: Delius
Jeffrey (vandermolen): Myaskovsky
John: Debussy (or a chameleon) hahaha 
Kyle: Atterberg
Rafael: Wagner
Roasted Swan: Bax
Traverso: Delius

I think you got many of these right on the money. I particularly like how I could be a chameleon. You brought in some members I simply forgot about, so I may have to update my own list.

Time for an update:

Karl: Stravinsky (although Schoenberg and Shostakovich aren't too far behind)
Jeffrey (Vandermolen): Vaughan Williams
Jeffrey (JBS): Mahler
Karlo (North Star): Janáček
Brian: Dvořák
Madiel: Holmboe (Fauré would certainly be a second pick)
Rafael (ritter): Boulez
André: Reger
Cesar (SymphonicAddict): Beethoven (even after all of the music he listened to, this is still the composer I associate with him the most)
Andrei (Florestan): Schubert
Johan (Christo): Vaughan Williams
steve ridgway: Birtwistle
Mandryka: a cow
Old San Antone: Bernstein (his blog on this composer's Mass tells this whole tale rather well)
Jan (Traverso): Messiaen
Todd: Beethoven
Olivier (Papy Oli): Bax
GSMoeller (Monkey Greg): R. Strauss
Dancing Divertimentian: Martinů
Luke: Janáček

Please sir!! You have forgotten me (twice). And while we are at it, PD

Can't argue with that!

That's very perceptive of you

[Florestan]

Florestan: Schubert

Andrei: Chopin

You got it right, gentlemen.

TD, some yet unmentioned

Gurn: Haydn
Que: name a Baroque composer
Harry: Tchaikovsky
Steve Ridgway: Xenakis

[Brahmsian]

GSMoeller (Monkey Greg): R. Strauss

I would have said Glass for Monkey Greg, but Strauss is another obvious one.

For Jeffrey (vandermolen), all English and all Russian composers that ever penned a note of music. 

Sargent Rock: BWV. BMW

Half of GMG membership: Havergal Brian

Made me laugh 

I'm very fond of the music of many 20th Century American composers as well as Scandinavian ones.

I'm really not too familiar with your own listening habits and what composers you favor and the same goes for Pohjola's Daughter.
