for those who know classical music a lot

[Post_Scriptum]

can you name me some classical musicians that are doing (or made) some dark songs?

 

[Flaming Death]

The Erl King is a cool song. im not sure on the composer though. the imagery reminds me of the Dissection- the Somberlain cover.

My favorite darker peices are Marche Funebre by Chopin and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, both are pretty well known, but if your looking for sorrow, futility, and grief, these are it.

 

[Jondur]

Sibelius "Finlandia"
Verdi "Requiem"
Mozart "Montagues and Capulets"

Carl Orff- Carmina Burana.

I'm sure everyone's heard the opening part.

 

[Post_Scriptum]

yeah... i tried Carl Orff - Carmina Burana... but i didnt like it
the intro song is great, but the rest is meh, imo

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Stravinsky's Firebird is pretty sweet. Especially the Finale. Technical and catchy.

 

[Episteme]

Great thread! Keep it going!

If you want some dark sounding classical stuff, check out a lot of the organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Listen to a piece called "Toccata and Fugue" to see what im talking about. Lots of music stores carry CDs of nothing but his organ works.

 

[Post_Scriptum]

ok... ill check them out

 

[Dismal Prospect]

Holst - Mars, The bringer of war

This song will creep you out.

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

KEEP IT COMING Damn it!!!... i've been waiting for something like this...

Confutatis Maledatis - Mozart
Beethoven... almost all of his music its really dark. I consider him as the first truly DARK musician

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

OH!! i forgot to add SOPOR AETERNUS... that band gives me the creeps...

 

[Incendiare]

Beethoven - Symphony no.7 2nd Movement
Any of Bach's Fugues
Beethoven - Pathetique
Chopin - Nocturne Op.9 No.1

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

is it just me or does the intro to Ramses Bringer Of War by Nile sound nearly exact to Holst's Mars, Bring Of War?

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

Bring me war...??.. you better get me a beer!!

 

[genocide roach]

rite of string by stravinsky for sure.
stuff by mahler, wagner, schuman... anything romantic era and later. especially stuff by the russians. those guys really got intense after the romantic era.
~gR~

 

[Profanity]

Beethoven-all his music is dark and powerful.

 

[Harp Heaven]

Stravinsky - Rite of SpringBohuslav Martinu - Symphonies no.3 and 5, The Epic of GilgameshSchoenberg - Pierrot Lunaire (EXTREMELY creepy)Alban Berg - WozzeckShostakovich - Symphonies no. 5, 7, 11 and 12But most likely these will not be what you`re after, which is probably stuff like movie music, with minor chords in chromatic steps and the like... Do give the above a try, though.
