10 centuries of classical music Composers (Africa)

 

or ? or ? It is difficult for inquiring minds to tackle such abundant fields as classical music and opera, covering 10 centuries of history: there are thousands of composers. Making a selection of musicians is a difficult and subjective exercise. A musical selection is often the expression of personal preferences or artistic opinions, very interesting but also very different according to critics or musicologists, or simply influenced by the context: will an English composer not be instinctively privileged by an English critic?

For example: in France, Charles Gounod, a 19th century French composer, is more easily mentioned than the Norwegian Edvard Grieg, who is more recognized in the world.

The information presented below (timeline, top 10, alphabetical index) is absolutely neutral. They are the result of a strictly quantitative analysis, based only on global and independent sources. They were treated without favouring any particular musician or excluding any artist deemed less relevant by elitism, conformism or for any other reason.

Timeline of classical music composers in Africa

Whoever wants to discover classical music or opera does not always have an experienced music lover, an expert or an educator at his or her side to support and guide him or her in these fields. So : or ? or ? However, the knowledge available about musicians is enormous. It was processed to select the 10, 25, 50... most popular composers around the world, for those living or having lived en Africa, . And this objectively, and for the first time (soclassiq exclusivity).
