Video Game Music

Found an interesting article earlier today:

http://classicalmusic.about.com/od/classicalmusictips/a/videogamemusic2.htm

From the article, I learned that much of the music I have stockpiled on my iPod may be the future of classical music and may very well be what helps to introduce to the younger generations of today and the future the masterworks of generations and eras past.

This genre of music, video game music, has evolved into full orchestral scores and pieces as exciting and dynamic as the epic works of composers long past. It is proposed in this article that this music may appear in performances alongside works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Verdi, thereby exposing the presumably young audience members to the best of classical music.

I am a fan of this music and would love to see this new music become mainstream pieces performed by our beloved orchestras.
