Carl Orff. You've heard O Fortuna in everything. It's big, with a chorus, like Requiem. But he never made anything as good as Requiem, Mozart's best work, which I believe was written on his death bed. I think Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt can be equally epic, and his 1st suite pretty much encompasses all of human emotion, it begins with Morning (the cartoon theme for waking up and pretty nature) and ends with In the Hall of the Mountain King, a scary bombast that screams "poo poo's gonna die." If you've never read the story of the Original Moz's Requiem, it's a pretty interesting piece of musical lore.

Since we are talking classical music, has anyone heard anything that is remotely similar to, or as simple and brilliant as the work of Eric Satie?

Dr. Video Games 0081 posted:Satie was a big influence on John Cage, and much of John Cage's keyboard music is very simple and graceful: Thanks man. Can't say I like Vexations, that's the possibly endless, or like 8 hour piece right? But the two tracks you posted are good.

An anecdote- I kept confusing Morton Feldman with Milton Friedman and I confused everyone in my economics class. And my musician friend, when I told him about the cool minimalist composer he said, "Milton Friedman? He makes music? gently caress him, he's a monetarist piece of poo poo."
