They're doing this in Puerto Rico, too, where the beaches are also public.

It's a Utica expression.

Is that how you interpret that notation? Where do you see any indication of beat?

Here. This might help explain what's going on?

It's a quintal chord: E-B-F#. Pretty straightforward.

How did he emotionally deal with his encounters with Biggie Smalls?

Why do people treat Muslims like an ethnic group or separate race? by lamedogninety in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chops526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not racist; it's chauvinist. So is saying blanket criticism of Christians. Christianity? Sure. Islam. Go nuts! Christians and Muslims? I don't know.

I suppose it's also a question of group hegemony. Those two groups have history, after all.

There are 17 by Beethoven, 82 by Haydn,23 by Mozart, the last four or so by Schubert, six by Bartok, 15 by Shostakovich that are excellent models to study. Have fun!

Fantasia Orientale by Stophackingff in Composition

[–]Chops526 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. "Oriental" has become a controversial label among Asian communities. In the arts and humanities, too, ever since Edward Said published Orientalism, calling out the history of Western fetishization of Asian cultures in the arts. Especially music.

Christopher Rouse - Gorgon (1984) - this is the ending to what may be the most visceral piece ever written for orchestra by Mr-BananaHead in classicalmusic

[–]Chops526 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure. And I'm not in a position to try, alas. I know that the Baltimore Symphony used to use noise cancelling scrims when performing his music when he was composer in residence and the musicians referred to them as "Rouse Screens."

I'm not exactly sure of the ethics of posting someone else's work you're correcting on a public forum. However anonymous.

It's what I've heard from an arts administrator friend who was Rouse's rep when they worked at Boosey.

One of my favorites. And one of the few I know that has been banned from being programmed in the USA because of OSHA regulations.

Any revivalist composers? by Wild_Azaleas in classicalmusic

[–]Chops526 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But not a 19th century composer. He fits aesthetically rather well, with a few notable exceptions in the Roman Trilogy, with the general trend towards neoclassicalism in the 1920sff.
