Wow, John S! You actually have this in your collection - and listen to it? You must also love dissonance of many stripes. . . .I have a musicologist/friend out West who loves John Corigliano, and would probably love Zwilich as well. I was in the hall when Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony recorded his Symphony #1. They gave me a signed CD, which I immediately sent to my friend, who was dutifully impressed, or something.
I, for one, must pass. I like my music more "mainstream," I'm afraid. But to each his/own, sir!
With respect for our differences. . .LarryR

Wow, John S! You actually have this in your collection - and listen to it?



You bet Larry, and I'm replaying it again this morning in your honor. To be honest the only reason I have this disc is for "Celebrations", a piece commissioned by the Indy Symphony to inaugurate their newly refurbished concert hall. I heard it on a flight out to the left coast and again on the way back. It was a part of an homage to female composers of all eras. For weeks, I just couldn't get it out of my head. Finally I ordered it and was surprised to find the other pieces were far more dissonant that the 9 minute Celebrations.

Not that I shrink from dissonance. I certainly don't blame anyone compelled to create original music for trying to produce something new and different. If the audience for it is minimal, so be it. Many times yesterday's dissonance ends up being tomorrow's mainstream. Last time I checked, people aren't rioting in the streets over Stravinsky anymore. It was Stravinsky who said Beethoven's Grosse Fugue (Opus 133, 1826) was "the finest piece of 20th Century music" he'd heard. Yet in the day that work sent patrons fleeing chamber music salons shaking their heads.

I don't make it a point to seek out dissonant music. But when I do hear it, I don't shrink in horror either. It was Charles Ives who had little patience for "sissies who can't stand up and take their dissonances like a man." That may sound a little harsh. I don't think he meant that listeners should like everything they hear, but rather that people should be a little more open minded about such things.

John S, et al: Good points, sir. But playing it "in my honor" would seem to have dubious value. GRIN
In my many years on this Earth I've spent way too many hours in concert halls, in part because of my (former) job. And I've been immersed, inundated and assaulted by just about every form of "music" under the Sun. Had to write about much of it, and thus had to "try to" understand it.
The good Mr. Ives, being a bit of a maverick, oft-times "laid it on" too thick, but did have an honest mission in his second life (aside from being an insurance salesman). And yes, I actually like some of his music! GASP.
I guess that, at age 73 and 3/4, I've sampled enough of life to finally distill it down to the "like-hate-put up with" lists - curmudgeons have a way of doing this, doncha know, John!
So while I cut some slack to the folk who strive to produce "something new," I must stand on my own li'l pedestal and be willing to announce my personal reviews - as do you, my friend.
Mer and I will be out in Santa Fe for a month in late summer - in part to hear/see Opera in the wonderful, open-air concert hall. But there, as with our discussion of dissonant music, we eschew the two "modern" operas (one by Britten, with whom I have a long-time sparring match) and go with more ear-friendly works: The Magic Flute and Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann.
To each his/her own - as always.
But thanks, John S, for an always-welcome posting! As we'd say in Chi-town, "Youz is one uv dah good guyz!"

Schoenberg? Ah - yeah - Mer once told me that if I ever played one of his "creations" again she'd do bad things to my bod. SIGH.
She once pronounced that garbage duty was akin to "taking out the Schoenberg!" Hmm. . .never let it be said that Mer hesitates to express her opinion.
So, John S., go listen to Alban Berg's Lyric Suite and be happy!
Or not. . .

Thank you so much Larry for not taking offense at my little rant. I really did mean it in the most constructive way.

So I'll take my Berg and you may have all the opera ever written. Please. I'm embarrassed to admit it all sounds like so much caterwauling to me. To each his own as they say.

Hate to cut it short. I have to take out the Puccini now.
