cyrano: (iYote)
[personal profile] cyrano
And there it is. From Bach to Zelenka. And I have more Victoria than I thought he'd ever actually written. Now all I have left is the albums that are performer specific collections of various composers.

And since it's almost still Monday, here's
Top of the Pops

Mantua--Romeo + Juliet (Luhrmann?)
Maire Mor--Dervish
People Are Still Having Sex--La Tour
Stay--Oingo Boingo
You're History--Shakespeares Sister
Do What?--Squirrel Nut Zippers
Me and the Ghost Upstairs--Fred Astaire
Crushingly Close--(Still don't know who this is)
Mother of the Bride--Billy Bragg
Wise Up! Sucker--Pop Will Eat Itself

EDIT:
Half a dozen composers whose work I own and of whom I suspect only Miss Friday has heard.
The aforementioned Jan Dismas Zelenka, a Czech composer of the baroque era. He served in Dresden as the 'church music composer', a title he apparently shared with J.S. Bach.
Jacob Obrecht, Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer. Son of a city trumpeter. Died of the plague.
Adriano Banchieri, Italian composer in the early early Baroque. Benedictine monk and developer of the 'Madrigal Comedy'.
Esteban Salas,(or Salas y Castro) Cuban composer of vocal music. Considered by some to in fact be the first Cuban composer.
Cristobal de Morales, Spanish Renaissance composer. Reknown as one of the great composers of his time while he was alive, WikiPedia implies that he may have been a pain in the ass to work with.
The earlier mentioned Barthelemy de Caix, composer for the Pardessus de Viola, which waned rapidly in popularity after the French Revolution.
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Italian pioneer of the Opera Buffo.
