I never blogged in August. It was a very busy month. At the beginning of the month I listened to composers from "National Schools". From 1830-1950, as "modern nation states emerged, music for many composers became a means of asserting their national identity."
Some more popular composers that can fall into this category:
- Elgar (British)
- Sibelius (Scandinavian)
- Vaughn Williams (British)
- Rachmaninoff (Russian)
Many of these composers used folk music in their classical compositions. New composers I found and liked:
- Glinka (Russian)
- Carl Nielsen (Scandinavian) He is a new favorite of mine!
I am in the modern period---and I'm enjoying it more than I thought!
