darker side of classical music

[War]

Heaviest shit I've heard:

1. Franz Schubert, Symphony No. 8
2. Anton Bruckner, Symphonies No. 3 and 8
3. Ottorino Respighi, Simfonia Dramatica and Symphonic Poems
4. Camille Saint-Saens, Symphony No 3
5. Robert Schumann, Symphony No 3
6. Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No 3
7. Richard Strauss, Also Sprach Zarathustra
8. W.A. Mozart, Requiem

Do you need more?

Can't forget Brahms; Symphony No. 4 [they're all good, though], and Ein deutsches Requiem.

4. Camille Saint-Saens, Symphony No 3

One of my favorites!

I think one of the problems here is that we're applying a popular music template to classical. You don't have dark classical. Classical is designed to tell a story, with its ups and downs, in total. So happy pieces have dark moods and so forth. Asking for dark classical is like asking for dark directions to the bank.

I think he meant composers similar to Bela Bartok, which would definitely come across as somewhat "dark", I guess. The simile at the end was definitely awesome though.
Write it on a black piece of construction paper of course!
