Andrew Lloyd Webber
He's my 2nd favorite composer. I've seen Cats and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat live onstage.
 I've seen the movies of The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Evita, and Jesus Christ Superstar. I have two of his CDs. Does anyone else like him? Can anyone recommend some more good musicals he composed for?

He seems too "regular" for me...have also heard rumors that he is a plageurist(sp?).

I finally got my hands on his Requiem Mass, and I absolutely love it. If you like his music, I'd suggest you try to find that.

great composer... yeah, he's kinda mainstream, but he does it very well
being a musician, jc superstar is one of my favorites... i use to practice playing along with the entire disk on my bass guitar as a kid... which wasn't easy, 'cause the bass lines rock

Yes, BJ! Another source of agreement - 2 days in a row! (Be still my heart.)
The artist in whatever media is demonstrating for us their plagiarism of reality - we usually call it "art imitating life" - but if they are really good at it, we just say "Genius"!

*gag* *retch*
Can't stand the man, or his music. If he ever comes within a meter radius of me, I'll... I'll... I'll... do something really bad! *retard*

I saw the movie Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat recently. Actually, I watched it 5 times.

ALW is cool... I like Phantom and Joseph. I always wonder about music-- how can you exactly claim plagiarism when you have things like the Star Wars soundtrack which is almost entirely based on the work of Mussorgsky, Saint-Saens, Holst and a few others, and classical composers have been doing variations on each others' work for centuries? I've always had this theory, that every melody that ever will be written already has been written, and new compositions just change the rhythm and harmonies around... I hope I'm wrong though! |
