Name ROMANTIC any romantic composers?


HELP.
for my music homework i have to analyse romantic composers. Name me a romantic composer and a link to see their song.
How do I anaylse it?

Some famous romantic composers and pieces are:

Berlioz - Un bal (Symphonie Fantastique)
Bizet - Habanera (Carmen)
Brahms - Hungarian Dance no.5
Chopin - 'Military' polonaise
Dvorak - 'New World' symphony
Grieg - Morning (Peer Gynt)
Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.2
Mendelssohn - 'Italian' symphony
Rimsky-Korsakov - Flight of the bumble bee
Tchaikovsky - Russian dance (The Nutcracker)
Verdi - Anvil Chorus (Il Trovatore)
Wagner - Prelude to act III (Lohengrin)

The romantic preiod is defined by:

1) More complex harmonies
2) More sophisticated orchestration
3) Greater freedom of personal expression
4) Broader variety of musical formats
5) Technical virtuosity of instruments and voice

Romantic composers include Beethoven, Berlioz, Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky . . . . Take your pick! You can find more information on any of them by doing a web search, but doing the analysis will have to draw on what you've learned in class.

You are on a computer, do a Google search for heaven's sake. This particular subject is very interesting and once you get your ear trained to hear the difference, you won't be able to listen to classical music without automatically identifying the period. It really is enjoyable as the music is wonderful and timeless. You would be amazed how much classical music is used in movies, commercials and as inspiration for modern songs.

Beethoven was considered to be at the end of the Classical period and the beginning of the Romantic period. Another solid Romantic would be Tchaikovsky.

The Romantic period music is very dramatic. Listen to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. There are many shifts from soft to loud, fast to slow, high to low to stir the emotions and tell a story. Listen to Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun. It sounds very dreamy and conveys a mood. Other Romantics include Chopin, Wagner, Grieg, and Dvorak.

Here.. this should be of some assistance

Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed extremely difficult but very beautiful music.
