It seems to me that many of the composer vs composer polls really have more to do with a preference of orchestral or chamber music. So I was curious which one people prefer at GMG.

Well, if I let my own catalogue do the voting, overwhelmingly chamber.

Can I pick Chamber orchestral music?  :P

If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with orchestral.  Though, it isn't an easy answer for me.

Chamber, especially if we include the solos in chamber. (I know we shouldn't. But hey, I consider anything non-orchestral to be chamber)

Well.......you all know my answer!  :D

Although, it's much closer than you might think.  Couldn't do without either.

Orchestral.

And, Karl, I'm patiently waiting for your Gothic or Gurre-Lieder  ;)

Karl Weigl (1881-1949) composed an "APOCALYPTIC" Symphony. That's pretty close to catastrophic  ;D

I picked chamber music and did not include solo music.

Orchestral, though it's not the slam dunk it used to be...
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

How so, Neal? Which side were you expecting the blowout from?  :)

Gurn, my own expectation was that Orchestral would be in the lead (not by a blowout, though).

Based on some of the the composer polls, I was thinking there might be a heavy tilt towards chamber.

I think this is going into extra time and, possibly penalty shootout.
