I'm wondering if anyone on here has any good suggestions of composers/works for me to look up. I'm a big fan of Romanticism and Impressionism, especially Debussy and Holst. Tchaikovsky is up there too. Any good ones for me to look up, anyone?
Oh, and as far as modern composers go, I fucking love Morten Lauridsen, Frank Ticheli, and Bernstein. And there's another one that I'm forgetting, but that's not exactly helpful.
 
claire de lune has always been a favourite of mine:

im by no means a classical or romantic connoisseur, but i do enjoy it from time to time.

also this isn't really restricted to romantic, i just threw some of my favourite classical songs up.

 
It was already suggested^, but Chopin is legit. I'm not really into classical but I like his stuff. It's good homework music. I heard classical music makes you smarter.
 
For contemporary, check out Kronos String Quartet, or see if you can track down Philip Glass' piano works. Its like a river of notes and shitt
