Modern music genre that is comparable to rennaisance era Classical -- IMHO -- would be 'New Age' more than Trance.

Havo you ever heard the song "Aria One - Willow (dj tiestos magikal remake)". Aria in italian means a solo or duet in the opera. Trance and clasical music are VERY similar.

Originally posted by Fir3start3r I used to play in a large classical concert band back in high school and loved it! (We won many music awards and they have a loooong history). Then I'd loose myself in the music room during breaks, lunch and after school to play with the drum machines, sequencer, DX21 and DX7 (Synths) for hours on end. (Why oh why did I ever stop!? ) Philhormonic film scores are also a passion of mine. Trance was an easy progression for me....

wtf kind of school has drum machines and synths??? good lord... what school board were you part of?? my school was poor as fuck dude, =P...... i played the trumpet in band, =P.... i wish they taught me how to use a synth and drum machine...

mkay.. i'm going to stick up for rozzer here..

what hes trying to say is that times were different back then and so was the way they thought and composed and whatever..

so lets take a great a rock group like the beatles, and tell them to make speed metal, they just wouldn't be able to do it.. kinda a shitty analogy, but thats all i could think of off the top of my head

altho classical and trance do share some similaritis, they are not the same.. as with rock adn speed metal, they share some common elements but thier is no way to translate..

rozzer, did i interperit this correctly?

yeah... i see your point, and its totally valid.. but MY point in the first place was, that IF mozart and his classical contemporaries were born TODAY, whut kinda kickass trance would they make? it doesn't seem to matter now... but yeah.. that was it....

i wasn't expecting mozart to break out a synth back in the day and bust out some trance music dude, =P
