Where's Orff? I can guarantee you that a lot of non-classical music lovers perk RIGHT up when the O Fortuna movement of Carmina Burana blasts! It's like a wave of AC/DC blowing you off your feet.
rofl. Any time I have to purchase speakers, I take Carmina Burana with me to choose which ones I want. Scan about 2 minutes into O Fortuna, and if you can't hear the timpani go from two strikes and then become strike - roll, then those are piece of crap speakers. Never heard a polymer woofer that could cut it. Tweeters and mids are perfect, but you've got to have paper woofers to faithfully reproduce the sound of fast, deep musical instrument voices. The polymer woofers (and poorly made speakers) make it sound like mush. If they can handle O Fortuna, you'll never miss another sound. From Abba to Zappa, you'll get every nuance any artist ever committed to disc.

I tend to like pieces, not composers oeuvres. Dvorak's "From the New World" Ormandy conducting. Faure's "Requiem." Stravinsky;s "Rite of Spring." Mostly the Romantics, I guess. Aaron Copeland's "Appalachian Spring."

Then you just haven't heard the pieces that speak to you. Did you ever watch the movie Amadeus? It's a wonderful introduction to classical music for those who've never really listened to it. And a great movie, too! I've seen it staged, but the movie was better for the musical aspect.

I went for the 4 composers I thought were most famous. Almost everyone recognizes O Fortuna, but they have no idea who Orff is.
If I were to add a fifth choice, I would probably add John Williams to give people a more modern (and still famous) choice.
Where's Orff? He fecked orff before you arrived here.
Think you are right - but we classical music fans think him a bit of a pain in the neck.

Personally I prefer Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven"
ditto
ELO did that quite well, too.
