February 6, 2011 11:58 pm at 11:58 pm #900332always hereParticipant“Weird Al” Yankovic … Bob Dylan .. off the top of my head
February 7, 2011 12:17 am at 12:17 am #900333yossi z.MemberIsn’t there a thread about this? (I don’t remember the name I just know that I posted on it some)
I have a cousin chaim fogelman. He is nine though so I don’t think you are referring to him …

February 7, 2011 12:17 am at 12:17 am #900334charliehallParticipantMozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Brahms, Schoenberg, Stravinsky.
February 7, 2011 12:26 am at 12:26 am #900335WolfishMusingsParticipantDovid Hamelech?
Considering that I find it highly doubtful that you’ve ever heard a composition by Dovid HaMelech, how can you say that he’s your favorite composer?

February 7, 2011 12:40 am at 12:40 am #900336observanteenMemberWolf, you serious???? How bout SEFER TEHILIM??? I also think he was the greatest composer.
Oh, forgot to mention Abie Rottenberg- my favorite!! (After Yossi that is.)
February 7, 2011 12:49 am at 12:49 am #900337WolfishMusingsParticipantWolf, you serious???? How bout SEFER TEHILIM???
Correct me if I’m wrong (it certainly is possible), but doesn’t the composition refer to the music, not the lyrics?
If so, then I doubt she (or anyone else currently alive) has heard a Dovid HaMelech composition. He may be your favorite lyricist, but that’s not the same thing as saying that he’s your favorite composer.

February 7, 2011 12:52 am at 12:52 am #900338β‘onegoalβ’ParticipantWeird Al is a favorite of mine but on a Jewish note (pun intended) I love Aaron Rozel, and Baruch Levine.
February 7, 2011 1:28 am at 1:28 am #900339doodle jumpParticipantMordechai Ben David!!
February 7, 2011 1:34 am at 1:34 am #900340β DaasYochid βParticipantNobody mentioned Carlebach yet!
Wolf,
You’ve got to figure that since Dovid Hamelech wrote the lyrics, he must have written the trop also!
February 7, 2011 1:36 am at 1:36 am #900342HaLeiViParticipantGeorges Bizet, Tchaikowsky, Beethoven, Handel, Bach.
February 7, 2011 1:38 am at 1:38 am #900343Sender AvMembercountry yossi…Tuki: “Bereshis, Noach, Lech Lecha, Vayera, Chaya Leah, Cold toes…” and “who is he, and he is who, you is me and me is…you? it’s a little bit confusing but as everybody know it sounds a little crazy but >BUMP< thats how it goes….”
*anyone not from my dor or with no kids from my dor, sorry you have no idea what I am talking about.
February 7, 2011 1:46 am at 1:46 am #900344eclipseMemberI like some of Country Yossi’s songs,like “If it’s basherte,it’s gonna HAppen anywayyy…”

February 7, 2011 2:27 am at 2:27 am #900348WolfishMusingsParticipantYou’ve got to figure that since Dovid Hamelech wrote the lyrics, he must have written the trop also!
A. I don’t have to figure that at all.
B. Even if so, have you ever heard anyone lain Tehillim with the trup?
C. Even if you did, how do you know the tune used for the trup then is the same as is used today?
The Wolf
February 7, 2011 2:39 am at 2:39 am #900349always hereParticipantWolfishMusings~ I stand corrected: ‘Weird Al’ is a satirist, and parodist/lyricist.
February 7, 2011 2:41 am at 2:41 am #900350yossi z.MemberCb1: do you know hillel kapnick?
My favorite composers:
My father
Shlomo carlebach
Country yossi (my father has records-yes you heard me right-records and a record player with country yossi, shlomo carlebach, torah avenue, etc)
hillel kapnick
Dovid insel
Yoel bar kochva (yes that is his real name)
Shmuely edelman
Chaim felder
Myself (though I prefer singing to composing)
I hope I am not forgetting anyone
Oh! And the regulars (MBD, avrohom fried, yossi green, eli gerstner, baruch levine, etc)
My list of singers however would be different (not necessarily entirely but still)

the name sounds familiar, why do you ask?
February 7, 2011 3:20 am at 3:20 am #900352wanderingchanaParticipant<
munching popcornDovid Hamelech’s been getting the credit all these years… Mizmor L’Dovid… and if he didn’t write it – who did?
February 7, 2011 3:24 am at 3:24 am #900353WolfishMusingsParticipantDovid Hamelech’s been getting the credit all these years… Mizmor L’Dovid… and if he didn’t write it – who did?
You missed my point. I wasn’t questioning the authorship of Tehillim to Dovid. I was questioning whether or not you ever heard any of his compositions (by which, I mean the music).
You may say that Dovid is your favorite lyricist, but I don’t think you can say he’s your favorite composer as I don’t believe you’ve ever heard any of his compositions.
The Wolf
February 7, 2011 3:45 am at 3:45 am #900354β DaasYochid βParticipantA. I don’t have to figure that at all.
Then who do you think did? (typical Jewish response – a question with a question)
B. Even if so, have you ever heard anyone lain Tehillim with the trup?
No
C. Even if you did, how do you know the tune used for the trup then is the same as is used today?
N/A
My point was that he probably did write music, not that I ever heard it, although I can only imagine that it was spectacular.
I think wanderingchana makes a great point (not sure if you caught it)- why would it be called Mizmor if it was not a musical composition? Many kapitlach begin “Mizmor” or “Lam’natzeiach” (to the conductor). Then again, maybe the m’natzeiach wrote the trup?
February 7, 2011 3:49 am at 3:49 am #900355WolfishMusingsParticipantMy point was that he probably did write music, not that I ever heard it, although I can only imagine that it was spectacular.
I didn’t dispute that either. I was only disputing Chana’s assertion that Dovid is her favorite composer on the grounds that she never heard any of his compositions.
The Wolf
February 7, 2011 3:55 am at 3:55 am #900356β DaasYochid βParticipantOK
February 7, 2011 4:04 am at 4:04 am #900358yossi z.MemberCb1: you’re a composer, he is a composer, same generation, I don’t know I thought you might. He was in yeshivah in providence and now lives in monsey running his own recording studio

February 7, 2011 4:23 am at 4:23 am #900359wanderingchanaParticipantWolf, mamish, you’re a literalist. Work with me.
February 7, 2011 4:24 am at 4:24 am #900360wanderingchanaParticipantDY: thank you, that is what I was getting at.
February 7, 2011 4:29 am at 4:29 am #900361wanderingchanaParticipantNow for the truth… my favorite composer is Puccini. LOL…
February 7, 2011 10:25 am at 10:25 am #900362Chaim ShnaimParticipantRabbi Shlomo Carlebach, Avrohom Fried and Yossi Green.
I think the trop for krias hatorah was written by Hashem,and he is everyone’s favorite,right?
February 7, 2011 12:25 pm at 12:25 pm #900363haifagirlParticipantTchaikovsky, Chopin, Franck, Liszt, Khachaturian, Shostakovich, Gershwin, Rachmaninoff, Faure, Barber and Carl Ditter von Dittersdorf but mainly because I like his name.
February 7, 2011 3:50 pm at 3:50 pm #900364HaLeiViParticipantOh that’s right. I forgot to mention Liszt.
February 7, 2011 6:47 pm at 6:47 pm #900365miamigirl613MemberYitzy Waldner is definitely the best composer in the past decade. He has the most hit songs!!!
February 7, 2011 7:12 pm at 7:12 pm #900366not IMemberI can’t beleive no one mentioned Yitzy Bald.
Plenty of his songs became hits..
Tatte- was played by the Siyum haShas- not so simple..
Sameach among many others!
February 7, 2011 8:07 pm at 8:07 pm #900367haifagirlParticipantHow did I make such an awful typo? That should be Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf.
February 7, 2011 8:11 pm at 8:11 pm #900368miamigirl613MemberYitzy Waldner is almost on every album
February 7, 2011 8:43 pm at 8:43 pm #900369ShrekParticipantUncle Moishy gets my vote. “Hashem is here Hashem is there…”
February 7, 2011 8:58 pm at 8:58 pm #900370β DaasYochid βParticipantI don’t think anyone’s yet mentioned the composer whose songs are probably sung, in an atmosphere of kedusha, more than any other living (for many more years, be”H!) composer; Ben Zion Shenker.
February 8, 2011 12:57 am at 12:57 am #900371jewishnessParticipantI believe that 99.999% of composers and singers are mega mega over rated. When you hear them in person, your like totally about to doze off. But when they put out a CD it sounds cool. Its a whole bunch of digital junk on very average voices.
February 8, 2011 1:32 am at 1:32 am #900372rabbiofberlinParticipantdvorak, for his ‘new world symphony”, beethoven, for his fifth and the egmont overture, mendelssohn for his violin concerto, vivaldi for his four seasons and rimsky korsakov for his scheherezade.
February 8, 2011 1:51 am at 1:51 am #900373mosheroseMember“A. I don’t have to figure that at all.”
Yes you do. The trup that we have is from har saini. Its kefira to say not otherwise your saying that were not laining the Torah teh right way. So when Dovid wrote tehilim he also wrote it with the trup.
February 8, 2011 3:38 am at 3:38 am #900374rabbiofberlinParticipantmosherose- can you give me the source for what you said about trope?? and how do you explain the litvishe troep, the polish trope, the sefardi trope, the “yekke’ trope?
lastly- “kefirah” ??? aren’t you over the top???? kefirah in what??
February 9, 2011 11:46 am at 11:46 am #900375600 Kilo BearMemberR’ Chaim Banet
Moishe Goldman A”H
Boruch Levine
(MBD and Avrohom Fried are not composers. Lipa Schmeltzer might be as I know he has written material for his own albums and MBD [A Shabbos in Mezhbuzh, Ahavas Yisruel] but somehow I think he writes only words, not music).
October 22, 2012 6:28 pm at 6:28 pm #900376just my hapenceParticipantSo… I decided to find the oldest (i.e. longest without an update) thread I could that I was interested in. And this won! Yay! And in answer: Mahler, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Mendelson, Elgar. So done. And now this thread can officially die.
