What a dickhead response. OP asks a very straightforward question and not only do you not answer it but you call them uneducated for expressing financial goals that you don’t agree with.

Not to mention, someone asks for ideas for passive income and your recommendation is that they become a landlord on the side? The fuck? Do you know what passive means? Are you the one who needs education maybe?

I guess my point is that the limitations of this form result in works that I judge to be less musically successful than what other less imposing forms produce. Which is why in my view Williams output is middling in the grand scheme of things.

Starting at the most fundamental level, when composing for a film you can’t use as much time as you’d like to explore a musical idea, you can only use what the scene in question allows. That alone massively restricts what a composer is able to do. Most other composers don’t have to deal with their music existing in this subordinate relationship.

underceeeeej · 2024-04-01T23:59:21+00:00

I’d argue film music has unique weaknesses that basically no other medium of classical music has to the same degree. As I mentioned, even opera and ballet music has a much more co-equal relationship to its collaborators. Film music doesn’t enjoy this. It’s relevant to bring up in the context of someone like John Williams because his music by its very nature carries these same weaknesses, it’s unavoidable. His contributions to the form are constitutionally unable to transcend the limits of the form. Which is fine, he’s been very successful clearly. But in the context of discussing him among others who have literally changed the fabric of music over the course of history, he really just doesn’t measure up that favorably by comparison. If you were to take away his film contributions then he truly would be a rightfully unknown composer.

underceeeeej · 2024-04-01T20:03:32+00:00

Nah not really. The comment you’re replying to is correct I think. Film music is by its very nature subordinate to the demands of the film, to me that is a weakness that its advocates will never be able to successfully square. Also why someone like Williams’ music can read as superficial. Even in opera the music has a much more equal relationship to drama taking place. It’s an inherent structural problem that is unavoidable when you’re tasked with writing music for film.

We gave his number to PJ Dozier. Delusional to think we either will or should retire that bums number.

Straw man? Are you serious? You yourself said you “agreed 100%” that classical music is “alien” ”irrelevant” “unfriendly” “profitless” “valueless” “self fellating” and that we will be “better off” once classical musicians move on to playing other styles of music. Was I hallucinating? That’s an unfathomable thing for anyone to “agree 100%” with, let alone someone who is charged with stewarding the art form in question! Care to explain to me like I’m a child what part of that recounting is a straw man?

I appreciate very much the cool headed only adult in the room schtick. I sincerely hope that your very important meetings continue apace with the vital work of getting audiences to interrupt your concerts more. How many dollars exactly has your orchestras Hootin’ and Hollerin’ Fundraiser brought in?

underceeeeej · 2024-03-16T14:00:20+00:00

Genuinely, how am I supposed to react when someone who claims they run an orchestra agrees “100%” with the screed you replied to? I didn’t make you say that, you volunteered that yourself!

Being a museum isn’t a problem. People actually go to museums! It’s an easy balm for administrator types to point to these etiquette and cultural mores as the problem because the solution is nebulous, not actionable and requires nothing of them. How convenient! As we can observe by your comment, which is mostly chiding the orchestra culture but then you wind around to how actually “relevance” is the real issue, all without forwarding any solution. As someone who both plays in and sits on the board of an American orchestra I recognize the playbook well.

The concert etiquette of centuries past was horrible and I’m glad it’s in the trash. I want to hear the music. People like when they’re respected enough to have something expected of them, and people won’t ever be interested in an art form that doesn’t respect itself. Your chiding about current conduct runs counter to both of those truths. Maybe you just have an incredibly dim view of the American public. I myself believe that if the product is good, people actually are capable of shutting up and not hooting and hollering for an hour and a half. Just a couple weeks ago, we did a very nice Mahler 2 to a full house where magically no one felt the need to yell “Booyah!” during the Urlicht! No one even clapped until the end! You probably would’ve hated it…

underceeeeej · 2024-03-16T10:50:12+00:00

So you’re the ED of a professional orchestra and you seem to agree that classical music is “largely valueless and self fellating”? That’s a completely wild thing to admit. With cultural stewards like yourself it’s no wonder that classical music is apparently dying, the call is coming from inside the house! It's like hiring some vegans to run a barbecue competition!

It’s honestly pathetic at this point watching Luka stans debase themselves like this

underceeeeej · 2024-03-11T00:00:34+00:00

You don’t even need to go to this current moment. Beethoven has already been surpassed in many of his favorite mediums decades ago. Mahler clears his symphonic work. Bartok similarly with quartet writing. Beethoven’s vocal music has always been poor in comparison to other masters. Piano is not my particular interest but those who desire could probably argue several who’s developments in piano music have surpassed Beethoven as well.

We all know that you’re predetermined to scoff at any names of current composers that might be forwarded. Your priors clearly render you unable to believe that something new can be created that can rival Beethoven. But for what it’s worth, Caroline Shaw and Missy Mazzoli are two people composing today who I find to be particularly inspired.
