I felt a very strange connection with each composer as I saw their faces come alive. There were several on this list that I was not familiar with so I also spent a lot of time on Wikipedia learning more about many of them. I hope others have the same experience where, after seeing these classical composers come to life, they cannot help but learn more about each composer&#8217;s life and music.<\/p>\n<p>I have several favorite animations in this group. My top favorites are #15 Franz Liszt, #19 Antonio Vivaldi, #22 Dmitri Shostakovich, #27 Claudio Monteverdi and my top favorite composer face animation of the whole group is #45 Christoph Willibald Gluck.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On the YouTube video description is a list of all the composers with links to the exact time they appear in the video. For the background music I used music from my album &#8220;Conrad Askland Piano Nocturnes&#8221; which I recorded back around 2003 or 2004. I really like the vibe of my piano nocturnes with the animated faces of these music composers. I get a feeling of nostalgia, retrospect and even a sense of wonder that transcends worldliness.<\/p>\n<p>This video is a reflection of my own musical work, a mix of technology and classical art. I hope many people enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed creating it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Classical Music Composers face animations in this video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
