20th Century Composers


OK, since this seems like a top ten kind of week. Name the three most influential composers of the 20th century?

1. Anton Webern, just because he is.
2. J. Brahms, because virtually all movie composers in the 20th century all have Brahms on their brain when composing.
(ok some of them have R. Strauss upstairs,too) Yes I know he died in 1897 but his influence is still felt today
3. Van Morrison, for creating the most lustful rock anthem of all time, Gloria (Hendrix loved doing this song in concert, and so did Jim Morrison)

I am currious. How was Philip Glass influential? To whom? Anyone? What is his legacy?
