I guess you could consider GY!BE and Esmerine modern classical music. They implement a lot of elements of classical music. See also: A Silver Mt. Zion, Do Make Say Think, Set Fire To Flames, Rachel's, etc...

I think of classical as the peak of music, it is the most challenging thing that one can play. So basically I see modern classical as anything that challenges a musican to excel and improve. Jazz is a close second, just because most jazz artist and composers have been classically trained.

I agree that It is not suitable to call a kind of music MODERN CLASSICAL. This kind of music is neither Classical nor Modern.They have the taste of Classical Music but some contemporary Instruments like Synthesisers. So ,in my opinion, we can call them Contemporary Instrumental Music.

The best example for this kind of music is the music of YANNI. I suggest you listen.

Yes, Igor Stravinsky.

There are alot of modern composers.. forget post-rock, check out the label Tzadik.

Toby Driver in particular, his solo work and his band Kayo Dot.

Good call on Toby.

I'd call bands like godspeed you! black emperor, kayo dot, battles, as close as you will get to "modern classical"

modern classical - could mean anything I guess. Don't think it necessarily has to be original or innovative- something that derives from something else can be just as interesting to listen to.

~~Jon Rodgers~~ · 07-12-2006, 10:48 AM

not that innovative and original aren't good qualities of course! But Stravinsky plagiarised Bach, Oasis plagiarised the Beatles etc etc

"Modern Classical" Sure I think theres a such thing, if it doesn't fall into any other music category, the genre is classical but with some "modern elements"
