Speaking of classical composers, I just developed and scanned my film with pictures of composer Philip Glass. It only took me a year!

Indeed! I may even dust off a lens and charge my batteries for this :)

Saint-Saens could have a challenge all to himself. Carnivals and orgies!

that would be grand. I feel my spirit rising.

Well, we just completed another 'popular' Challenge in the popular musical artist, Billy Joel.

So, it seems like time to re-propose a challenge that would be a real Challenge.

Say, Jean Sibelius, or other classical musicians.

Or, to make it simple:

Enter an image that is inspired by classical music.

We've never had one. Nope, never.
And this is a very old thread that I am resurrecting
for the occasion.

Every 7 years or so isn't nagging, is it?

Good idea, really, having a Classical music-themed challenge. I think the only Led Zeppelin song I've ever listened to is "Stairway to Heaven".

Coincidence - I'm conducting Sibelius' Fifth Symphony on Saturday!

It did occur to me that it would be nice to see DPC venturing into the classical world. Schubert would be a good option with the myriad of lieder he wrote...

Now then, Jean Sibelius would certainly whet my appetite! May be able to find something for that.

Heh, heh. Yes, I think you might find something. Maybe "Finlandia?"

I could have a whole lot of fun interpreting Debussy with my Lens Baby


I can see a beautiful interpretation of his "La Mer" with that lens!

Certainly prejudiced in favour, and yes, the mind spins. Bach would apply to some select styles here - unfortunately not mine, but certainly pineapple's, and salmiakki has already got some Sibelius. I'd like to try Poulenc, Satie or Debussy.

Will this go over? Or maybe a side challenge?

Mahler rules! :-p

Now that would be an awesome challenge - either specific or as a genre in general. Wow - my mind is flooding with ideas.

For those in DPC who march to the beat of a different drummer, how about a challenge
featuring the likes of Jean Sibelius, or even the Three Bs (Bach, Beethoven & Brahms)

It would be fascinating to see the interpretation, in pictures, of classical music.

:-))
