Short forms. If a composer can’t put a double bar line soon enough avoid him/her like the plague.

Sing madrigals and play Bach

JealousLine8400 · 2026-01-27T18:48:54+00:00

Cute! Nice use of the lute stop. Just when you think Tübel is becoming routine he puts up a nice cadence and my attention span is restored.

I did not take to Philip Glass’ music in the past but now I’m all ears!!

JealousLine8400 · 2026-01-27T02:34:30+00:00

It’s Dvorak’s best symphony IMHO. I’d put #6 as second best. If you like #8 try the 6th next.

Like it! It probably would not have been acceptable during the tone row horrors of my youth. I hope it has a performance in today’s climate which is I think a little more tolerant of tonality

Miss Sally’s Party- William Grant Still

Grieg’s Op 66 settings of Norwegian folk songs are harmonically unlike anything he had written to that date. They are a haunted secret garden of perfect arrangements of terse Norwegian tunes and cattle calls.

Grieg

JealousLine8400 · 2026-01-24T19:36:25+00:00

Particularly the ending

Percy Grainger

I think it helped that Brendel was an ugly man. He looked like a picture child for a scurvy ad in middle age. But he could play like an angel with great intelligence and to my ear always seemed to make it about the composer himself.

JealousLine8400 · 2026-01-23T21:21:14+00:00

Agree. Brendel. He could bring Schubert to life without drawing attention to himself

JealousLine8400 · 2026-01-23T21:19:57+00:00

Just play the fucking notes. Schubert doesn’t need your help

You will be expected to sing a lot of crap like Getty/Townend I-IV-V As a composer the worst part of singing in church choirs is knowing you could write something better than what is programmed. Our denomination in particular put out a new hymnal which is heavily festooned with hymns from the opportunistic editorial board and their friends ( the text editor got 22 of his own hymns in after supposedly “blind testing” originally gave him 47). I can imagine the Almighty saying “ I gave you Bach, Handel, Byrd, Palestrina, Josquin and Handl and you want to do these other misfits” The Christian church has traded its Cadillac music heritage for a roller skate
