  • Are there any good modern day French composers?

  • @plovakia the music of the middle east is phenominal in that it uses a quarter-tone scale. European composers never really ventured into quarter scales, but some modern composer (particularly for flute) have

  • and lully ?

  • and lully

  • people cud sumdby tell me what the first song is

  • The first song was amazing lol

  • @plovakia actually, religious music -including islamic- sets the origins of modern music. From gregorian chants, to czardas you can find incredible melodic intricacies.

  • It took me 8 years to appreciate France...the language still gets on my nerves many many times but it is fascinating and it has its own allure and beauty. Still think Paris is way overrated (it's a beautiful city but come on not THAT beautiful) but France is a wonderful country. Still think that Italian food is 100 times better than French cuisine (which is very good nonetheless). But I love French classical music (Saint-Saens and Satie in particular), French cinema and French literature

  • What is the name of the first song? Please help me ASAP!

  • @stawberryjamful

    Canille Saint-Saens "Le Cygne" (Swan)
