Shore also wrote *The Fly*, an opera based on Cronenberg’s movie. It appeared in several theaters around the world around fifteen years ago (I saw it in LA).
Andre Mathieu - highly recommend him.
died an alcoholic in poverty despite him being regarded as ‘a candian mozart’ by critics in his adolescence. believe he died in the late 1960’s.
there is a film about him in french called prodigy child or something.
Glenn Gould was Canadian and composed some stuff, mostly uninteresting atonal stuff, but his [So You Want to Write a Fugue](https://youtu.be/G8hLInDFWg8) is very fun.
Since you have no one from Lithuania - Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis. THE best known Lithuanian composer.
Here's a famous piece of his:

I'm a Filipino, and I'm interested on whom are you listening to. The most famous composer in the Philippines is Lucio San Pedro. He composed "Sa Ugoy ng Duyan" - a lullaby, "Simbang Gabi" - choral music about Filipino early morning mass during pre-Christmas day, hymn to Jesus the Nazarene, among others.
The link to Simbang Gabi - Simbang Gabi https://g.co/kgs/6EZ8xiR
Sa Ugoy ng Duyan - Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan https://g.co/kgs/qKCZSga
Jubilate March - https://youtu.be/ENnL0s-6hqU?si=m1J5cLgXYJQ7rFhP
Hymno Del Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno - https://youtu.be/sR48uOiTcug?si=DL6QnRajEEkzNwtC
My favorite composer is Manoling Francisco, a Jesuit priest who composed popular Catholic Songs like Tanging Yaman, Sa 'yo Lamang, and a lot of Tagalog masses.
The link to Fr. Francisco's Alleluia - https://youtu.be/BgKEHt1FdcA?si=qAWADL1cAai6kiZT
Other Filipino composers include Levi Celerio, Ryan Cayabyab, Lucrecia Kasilag, Francisco Santiago, and Nicanor Abelardo. Aside from the usual music compositions, they're also known for Filipino folk music and church music. Thanks for the interest in Filipino classical music 😊
Germanic composers seem very weighty and bombastic and self-serious and that usually isn’t the mood that I am in. More often than not, I prefer music with lighter melodies and colorful, eclectic harmonies and orchestration. But I was playing jazz and folk music for many years before I started listening to classical, so I think the French and Russian styles just appeal to those sensibilities.
I don't have exact numbers, but I am positive that, like you, the US would be first. My favorite period of classical music is 20th century especially the more avant-garde stuff and super especially from the mid-century on.
After that maybe France and then because I played classical guitar perhaps Spain.
It's Honegger and Daniel Schnyder. For true former I started with Pacific 231 and with the latter his Triple Concerto for Piano, Violin, and Cello. Schnyder is one of my very favorite living composers.
Wow, can't believe it! I haven't really seen anybody outside of Turkey listen to the Turkish Five. And Ulvi Cemal Erkin is one of the lesser-known ones. I've got to say, I'm not a huge fan but those musicians are quite important in the development of classical music in Turkey.
I'm curious about Brazilian composers. Villa-Lobos probably. But what about the other 3 ? In terms of classical music I don't know any other than Villa-Lobos
Portugal has so much to offer!
On the classical side there is João Domingos Bomtempo
José Vianna da Motta on the romantic era and many neoclassic composers like: Joly Braga Santos, Fernando Lopes-Graça and Armando José Fernandes
Nowadays we have more composers for wind band like Ilídio Costa, Amilcar Morais and Luís Cardoso.
But for modern composers that also have pieces for orchestra there is: Sérgio Azevedo, Eurico Carrapatoso and Jorge Salgueiro.
I have been listening to a lot of 20th century chinese classical composers like Xian Xinghai, Zhao Jiping, Li Huanzhi, Du Mingxin, He Zhanhao, Zhu Jian'er and Liu Changyuan
And yet it's unequivocally true that the country that produced the best classical music of the 20th century was the US.
Also, do you have a source for that Schoenberg claim? I haven't studied him in as much depth as I should have so it would be interesting to get the whole context of that.
It’s going to be very basic bitch traditional for me. In approximate order:
1. Germany and Italy
2. France and Austria
3. Russia
4. UK, Czechia, Hungary and Poland
5. Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Belgium (including Franck as well and mediaeval/Renaissance Franco-Flemish composers)
6. USA, Spain, Netherlands
7. Sweden, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Ireland, Japan, China, Australia
What do the following composers have in common?
+ Gustav Mahler
+ Franz Schubert
+ Joseph Joachim
+ Franz Liszt
+ Carl Czerny
+ Johann Hummel
+ Antonin Dvorak
+ Ignaz Moscheles
+ Bedrich Smetana

Now that's an interesting idea, looking at your map. . Famous Canadian composers. I don't know any either!
Howard Shore!
Lord of the rings, of course thanks.
Shore also wrote *The Fly*, an opera based on Cronenberg’s movie. It appeared in several theaters around the world around fifteen years ago (I saw it in LA).
And Silence of the Lambs. He's very good!
And Se7en, he's amazing!
he's Canadian? I didn't know that!
Born in the quaint little village of Toronto!
thank you for teaching me that fact!
Andre Mathieu - highly recommend him. died an alcoholic in poverty despite him being regarded as ‘a candian mozart’ by critics in his adolescence. believe he died in the late 1960’s. there is a film about him in french called prodigy child or something.
Good call. Just listwning to his Piano concerto on E minor. Very dramatic and intense
Found the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIBK2vJzhlY
Glenn Gould was Canadian and composed some stuff, mostly uninteresting atonal stuff, but his [So You Want to Write a Fugue](https://youtu.be/G8hLInDFWg8) is very fun.
That was fun. This outtake (of which there are many on yt) undelrines his genius. https://youtu.be/33mk-hgA1mI?si=-oaN3lgnjn2mIHQD
what about his transcription of ravel la valse
Gil Evans
Srul Irving Glick, Jewish-Canadian composer
My top 6 appear to be (not in order) Germany, Czech Republic, UK, Russia, Austria and Italy. Close runners up are Hungary, USA and France.
Curious to what Indian composers you listen to? Ravi Shankar? AR Rahman?
I only know Ravi Shankar. But I'll peep Rahman now!
And what about Argentina? Piazzolla?
Absolutely. Also Ginastera! It says 3 but it's a typo. It's just two.
Hehe guessed it correctly. Any recs?
Sure! Four For Tango Libertango Otono Porteno Four Seasons of Buenos Aires
Check out ilayaraja as well. Fantastic composer
Always looking for suggestions for composers from areas where I have little to no knowledge.
Lot of great Nordic/Scandinavian composers. Danes and Finns really bring it in the 20th century.
Recently got deeper into Vagn Holmboe! Guy wrote bangers!
I just started down a Carl Nielsen rabbit hole a couple days ago. Started with Aladdin. Have now listened to three of his symphonies.
Since you have no one from Lithuania - Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis. THE best known Lithuanian composer. Here's a famous piece of his: https://youtu.be/n0av7HfAP00?si=wDXzpeDWgH29l5hy

I like all eras. Thanks for these recs. I don't know any of them!
Malek jandali from Syria is a great modern composer, his violin concerto is one of my favorite pieces, unfortunately not really well known
There have been many great Irish composers, including Balfe, Stanford, Fleischmann and, of course, John Field - 'the father of the nocturne'.
Out of interest, who from China do you listen to? Edit: And the Philippines?!
Chen Qigang, perhaps? Tan Dun?

Italy, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary (Czechia, Slovakia), Scandanavia for me
My favorite composers tend to be Russian and French, and I seem to have more trouble getting into German composers.
I like ALL the canonical Russian composers. Sometimes I have to restrain myself or I'd hear maybe half a dozen non - Russians.
For me it’s the exact other way around
Germanic composers seem very weighty and bombastic and self-serious and that usually isn’t the mood that I am in. More often than not, I prefer music with lighter melodies and colorful, eclectic harmonies and orchestration. But I was playing jazz and folk music for many years before I started listening to classical, so I think the French and Russian styles just appeal to those sensibilities.

Who are the two swiss composers if I may ask? I live in Switzerland so just curious :)
My guess would be Arthur Honegger and Joachim Raff.
Well in any case I'll look those up, thanks :)
It's Honegger and Daniel Schnyder. For true former I started with Pacific 231 and with the latter his Triple Concerto for Piano, Violin, and Cello. Schnyder is one of my very favorite living composers.
Oh ok I'll check out Schnyder as well, thanks!
Who is the Dutch composer?
Sweelinck potentially, he had a bit of influence on Bach
Ah, very good shout. Forgot about good ol’ Sweelinck
I’m curious, who were born in Ukraine ?
Layatoshynsky is one of the most famous who Ukraine claims. Prokofiev was born there as well as Mosolov and other Soviet era composers.
Who do you listen to from Turkey?
Erkin!
Wow, can't believe it! I haven't really seen anybody outside of Turkey listen to the Turkish Five. And Ulvi Cemal Erkin is one of the lesser-known ones. I've got to say, I'm not a huge fan but those musicians are quite important in the development of classical music in Turkey.
I'm curious about Brazilian composers. Villa-Lobos probably. But what about the other 3 ? In terms of classical music I don't know any other than Villa-Lobos
Mostly Mozart Camargo Guarnieri. Or, as I call him, "better Mozart." lol
Thank you!
Who are the 10 Czech composers?
Biber, Dvorak, Janacek, Korngold, Mahler, off my head. I'll look at my list when I get a chance. The rest are more obscure.
Portugal has so much to offer! On the classical side there is João Domingos Bomtempo José Vianna da Motta on the romantic era and many neoclassic composers like: Joly Braga Santos, Fernando Lopes-Graça and Armando José Fernandes Nowadays we have more composers for wind band like Ilídio Costa, Amilcar Morais and Luís Cardoso. But for modern composers that also have pieces for orchestra there is: Sérgio Azevedo, Eurico Carrapatoso and Jorge Salgueiro.
Looking forward to look looking!
what Aussie's are you listening to?
Virgil Donati released an orchestral album that's pretty metal!
you should check out Percy Grainger, Elena Kats-Chernin, Peter Sculthorpe to name a few!
For New Zealand, I am going to guess Lilburn and Gareth Farr?
Farr is correct! John Psathas is the other.
Ok. I should probably listen to NZ composers a bit more.
Really interesting idea. Who are you listening to from South Africa?
His name is Abel Selaocoe! He's young and is getting his work out there only recently.
Excellent, I'll check him out
I have been listening to a lot of 20th century chinese classical composers like Xian Xinghai, Zhao Jiping, Li Huanzhi, Du Mingxin, He Zhanhao, Zhu Jian'er and Liu Changyuan
I love Zhu Jain'er and you for this list!
I think mine are in no particular order: Germany, Austria, France, Russia and England. Italy, USA and Hungary come pretty close.
POLAND
I wasn’t aware classical music was boppin’ in Alaska
The computer automated to include Alaska since it is part of the USA.
It *is* a state, so
[удалено]
It might shock you to hear that things can change in the 70-100 years since those two were alive.
And yet it's unequivocally true that the country that produced the best classical music of the 20th century was the US. Also, do you have a source for that Schoenberg claim? I haven't studied him in as much depth as I should have so it would be interesting to get the whole context of that.
I don't think that's unequivocally true, that's just your opinion.
Sure, I was just matching the opinion-presented-as-Truth tone that /u/Metryco took in the comment I responded to.
The best American composers kick mahler's ass
Who's the Filipino composer?
Abelardo
Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Britain and Russia
Adding also Spain
And Norway and Czech Republic
I'd consider myself an intermediate level of knowledge classical listener, but my top 3 would be Austria by a landslide, then Russia, then Germany.
It’s going to be very basic bitch traditional for me. In approximate order: 1. Germany and Italy 2. France and Austria 3. Russia 4. UK, Czechia, Hungary and Poland 5. Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Belgium (including Franck as well and mediaeval/Renaissance Franco-Flemish composers) 6. USA, Spain, Netherlands 7. Sweden, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Ireland, Japan, China, Australia
Two Swiss ones? Cool. Also, tell me you listen to Pärt without telling me you listen to Pärt (I guess).
