The rise of classical music (1500-2000) Oceania

 

Suppé or Heuberger? Lanchbery or Grainer? 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, such as a “top 10” for example, 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, between 1500 and 2000+ in Oceania

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 : Suppé (Austrian composer and conductor) or Heuberger (Austrian composer) ? Hough (British-born classical pianist, composer and writer) or Mahler (Austrian late-Romantic composer) ? 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 Oceania, between 1500 and 2000+. And this objectively, and for the first time (soclassiq exclusivity).

Composers rendered as a timeline to bring a little perspective:

The selections of musicians (classical music composers) proposed by soclassiq are based exclusively on algorithms. The same applies to their works, the performers, the lyrical singers, les orchestras, the conductors and the venues : opera houses, concert halls or festivals.

What about the others? 25, 50 or more?

Summarizing to 10 musician names such a wide and diverse field may seem extreme or too simplistic for those who know classical music and lyrical art well, for those who can easily name 50 or more classical music composers. Mackerras, Stolz, Poglietti, Strauss, Grainger, Miller-Heidke, Dean...

At this time, soclassiq has listed more than 19000 composers. So here is a selection of some composers for the years 1500-2000+, in Oceania, widely recognized around the world:

Note:

  • This selection may include highly reputed artists and musicians who have occasionally devoted themselves to classical music and not exclusively.
  • It may also include composers who have been or are concert performers, some more renowned for their careers than for the work they have left behind.
