Who are some composers who bridge the Classical and Popular music world?
The obvious example of this would be George Gershwin, but I was trying to think of some other examples, such as:
Leonard Bernstein - if you include "Broadway musicals" in the "Pop" category
Frank Zappa - composed several avant-garde orchestral works, like those on the "Perfect Stranger" and "LSO, Vol. 1 & 2"
Joe Jackson - educated at the Royal Academy of Music, and released 2 albums of instrumental compositions ("Will Power" and "Symphony #1"), thought to call those works "classical" is a stretch.
Anyone else you can come up with?
I know the stabby glares of music snobbery will pierce my sacrilegious soul for saying this, but Aaron Copland is pretty cool, and Prokofiev might work for your question, puckrock2000, with his Lieutenant Kije music.
Hey, you get a star for your question. And you get big points for recognizing that music, like other forms of life, can evolve.
