I just started it, so can't really offer a full opinion, but it seems pretty good so far.

I'm another choirman and organist and pianist. Great love is Elizabethan and Tudor music - great composers like Gibbons, Purcell, Byrd, Tallis, Morley, Dowland. Been singing in our village church choir here in England for 66 years!, from treble to tenor and now bass. We have a good choir and a fine Harrison 2-manual organ. Also enjoy Victorian Parlour music. My Grandma played piano to accompany the silent films at a cinema in London in the late 1890's/early 1900's. I like to play some of her "party pieces".

I'm an eclectic man when it comes to classical music I love composers from every era like Josquin des Prez, thomas tallis, Purcell, Haydn, Berlioz,Wagner, Mahler, Schoenberg, Yann Tiersen, Philip Glass and Steve Reich.
I perform in many styles as well as write in these styles as well hopefully I'll be able to upload some of my stuff soon

Another choir man here; can't beat the Renaissance / Medieval period for pure vocal music. Also a fan of Baroque and Modern organ; there is a reason it is called the "King" of instruments. Listen to Messiaen's "Dieu parmi nous" from "La Nativite du Seigneur" and you'll know what I mean.

Hey guys,

I just joined AoM today. I went looking through the list of groups, and this one sounded interesting.

I've been a musician my entire life. Started piano at 8, clarinet at 9 (that lasted all of 1 year), tuba at 12, voice and bassoon at 15, and viola at 16. Now I earn my money singing opera (I'm a bass), and selling pianos.

I am very fond of choir music, specially those ancient composers... Bird, Monteverdi etc... pretty dusty taste, ah?

My favorite composer is J.S. Bach. I'm sure he needs no recommendation from me.

A little more obscure is William Byrd, Renaissance English composer. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! I sing in an early music choir. We named ourselves Aviarium after Byrd (it means "birdcage" in Latin.)
