Start with newer film scores that have 100% live orchestras (Zimmer and most modern film scores would be the opposite of this) and work your way backward.
John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Elliot Goldenthal, Danny Elfman - most these men utilize classical composition and most of their scores feature live players with small exception.
Think about why you listen to your favorite music and what meaning you get out of the music. Is it to project an image of yourself to other people so they understand you? Do you listen to stay current? What are you listening for? A beat? Dissonance? Do you have to turn the music up so loud that you can physically feel it in order to⦠emotionally feel it? Why? Is a whisper not as powerful as a scream? What does silence mean to you? What does sadness sound like to you? Joy? Bravery? Betrayal? Jealousy? -These were all questions my music appreciation teacher asked us.
