Thank you for your input, Colin, William, fahl5 and Jos.
It was quite enjoyable to read your exchange. I found Colins criticism to be perfectly reasonable and constructive, that said I can also appreciate William's sentiment that there can sometimes be an air of elitism among composers of differing genres. Each one to their own, as falh5 suggested. That said there are definitely elements and features from classical music that I would like to hear more of in film music and vice versa. Personally I think that John Williams, who is my musical idol of sorts, manages to blend and balance the past with the present beautifully, incorporating the many complexities and nuances of classical music while also creating memorable and enchanting melodies enwrapped in modal and mediant-centric harmonies and textures characteristic of modern film and video game music.
Personally I've grown up with the likes of John Williams, Koji Kondo (Zelda, Mario), Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy), Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings), so on and so forth. I've also listened a great deal to classical music, and while there are many composers of this genre from different eras that have select pieces that I find very beautiful and enjoyable to listen to (Hungarian Dance nr. 5 by Brahms, Turkish March by Mozart, the main theme in the Swan Lake suite by Tchaikovsky for instance), it is the lush passages, unforgettable melodies and pastoral landscapes evoked by the works of Edward Grieg that consistently capture me.
I was gonna write some more stuff but I just noticed what time it is, I need to get back to studying for my exam this week. Thank you all for your feedback once again and if (Colin), you'd be interested in hearing something I've composed that's a bit more in the classical direction, here's a link for you:
I'll be watching this thread in case of further discussion, i find the topic of classical vs film/vgm music quite interesting!
