Perhaps this is fodder for a separate thread, but there have been few regular participants here so I'll just float the idea.
Is it simply instrumentation that makes a piece of music 'classical'? In another thread somebody rightly made fun of the metal/classical connection. I've been critical in other threads of how the 'classically' trained street cred CV line is often overused and mostly untrue.
If not instrumentation, why isn't Rime of the Ancient Mariner considered classical? I'm in no way politicking here, just soliciting opinion.
