anybody know any good dark classical music?

Answer 1

There is classical music that pretty much hits every shade of emotion. What kind of 'dark' do you mean? Here's a few I thought of:

Pure evil and/or just plain eerie and wierd:
George Crumb - Black Angels
George Crumb - Ancient Voices of Children
Penderecki - Threnedy for the Victims of Hiroshima
Ligeti - Atmospheres
Ligeti - Lux Aeterna
Actually... most of Ligeti's stuff is pretty frightening



Classically sad, mournful:
Barber - Adagio for Strings
Michael East - Desperavi
Josquin Desprez - La déploration de Jehan Ockeghem
Henryk Gorecki - Symphony No. 3, op. 36 "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs"

Intense and dark in their own special ways...
Ralph Vaughan Williams - Dona Nobis Pacem
Shostakovich - Symphony 5
Scriabin - Most of his stuff (piano mostly) Odd fellow...
Bruckner - His masses (I think there's 3?)

Have fun!

Answer 2

There is no such a thing, there are many different styles in classical music, but not something called dark classical music

unless you think Bach's music is dark

anyway I can recommend something that is not classical, but is among the contemporary composers that has written some pieces that are somewhat dense, depressing and dark, Alban Berg's Wozek very interesting ..this is not for people who just started listening to classical music..its deffo not easy listening..Au contraire is quite complicated ..10 times more than Stravinsky
Good Luck and happy listening

Answer 3

I assume by dark that you probably mean music that is in minor and is passionate, turbulent, and/or mysterious. There are a lot of pieces that fit this description. I'll give you a short list of pieces by Mozart and Beethoven. If you want more, let me know.

Mozart:
Both G minor Symphonies (little G minor and #40)
Piano Concerto in D minor, K. 466
Piano Concerto in C minor, K. 491
Requiem Mass in C minor
C minor Mass

Beethoven:
Symphony 5 in C minor
Symphony 9 (first movement) in D minor
Piano Concerto #3 in C minor
Piano Sonatas (Moonlight, C# minor and Appasionata, F minor)

Answer 4

Beethoven has done quite a bit of good, but I promise you'll have more fun perusing through his stuff than I would trying to figure out that one song from Mr. Holland's Opus for you. Go to it.
