so i had a great little find in a junk shop the other day.a collection of 'The Great Musicians ' - a 48 record collection of the worlds greatest composeres.each record has 3-4 peices by the musician on a 10" and a booklet with history of him at the time of the peice and some music theory etc.the performances are from the Royal Symphony Orchestra in 1966.it's kinda over whelming,the artists included are
bach,
beethoven
berlioz,
brahms,
chabrier,
chopin,
corelli,
delibes,
dvorak,
franck,
grieg,
handel,
haydn,
mendelssohn,
monterverdi,
mozart,
pergolesi,
schubert,
tchaikovsky,
wagner,
i really wanna sample these records and use them with effects to make music or to add textures to music i have already done but i'm really ignorant about classical music.the first classical piece i ever really liked was beethoven's moonlight sonata '.
so im asking you guys to offer some songs i might like from these artists.
kinda music and mood i like are melancholic to sleepy,
bands like this i like are stars of the lid,arvo part, quite a bit of drone type stuff like william basinski,tim hecker,labradford, etc.
electronic stuff i really like is alvo noto,fennesz,four colour,growing,chihei hatakeyama.
as i said it's a bit overwhelming to have this much stuff to go through,all for £5.

berlioz has some very nice martial music that is really colorful! i love Hector Berlioz. He also has a very nice book on instrumentation.

well, maybe split them into baroque, classical, and romantic, roughly:
baroque:
bach, corelli, handel, monteverdi, pergolesi
classical:
mozart, haydn, beethoven
and then the rest will be either 'romantic' or later. you'll begin to hear the difference in these three styles bit by bit, and be able to tolerate them by mood. you'll likely recognize lots of the pieces in there because they're so omnipresent.

here's a list of pieces i like the most from these great artists:
dvorak: symphony no 9, especially the adagio part. see if you can find the herbert von karajan version
bach: i like one of his less known works, suite for cello no. 1 (bwv 1007).
franck: Sonata for Violin & Piano in A Major
haydn: Symphony No. 34 in D minor and Concerto in D for Horn are my favs
brahms: piano concerto no 2
schubert, schumann, liszt, mozart and lots of other piano pieces: search for alfred brendel's recordings. this man is not only one of the greatest pianists of all times, but also has been studying his whole how to play these pieces...
wagner: i'm not so much into opera but the parts where there's no voice in almost all his works are amazing! try "Die Walkόre" from his epic "Das Ring des Nibelungen" (again, search for Herbert von Karajan / Berliner Philharmoniker). also, "Parsifal" has some great passages (i especially like the recording from Bayreuth, 2004, Pierre Boulez).

Seriously .. if you want strings and things to sample.... screw classical. Get some Morricone. link
Oh, and his music is amazing as well. I think he's the god of music.

Ooops, I just realized that most of what I know is chamber pot music and probably not symphonic.

oh it doesnt mattr if its not symphinic,really just mood.thanks so far its been realy enlightening.
hey djugel,i like morricone but its really kind of out of context of what im getting at.
im not saying im just going to samples string sections,im gonna morph the samples with reverbs etc,of course i would like to do this to strings also.
brahms,string quartets,nice.

Yeah .. I just mentioned Morricone because it's not always such a blur ... much more minimal at times.
