Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostHe went so far as to predict that "one day people will be whistling my tunes in the street". I sometimes try whistling, or singing, the opening theme to the Piano Concerto, a fairly strict late 12-tone work. Taking comparatively straight conventional melodic contours out of the diatonic context and placing them within a total chromatic harmonic matrix has the rather wonderful result of de-banalizing them and making them sound fresh once more. However, it was particularly this that post-war serialists objected to, logically pointing out that melodicism in general, and melodic development in sonata variational forms was an archaism, dependent on diatonic tonality, and by deduction therefore no longer valid. Minimalism originated partly in reaction to this reaction; yet it was still a form of abstraction in its early manifestations, excluding melodic invention in its early manifestations.

Lizzie’s offerings were dire this morning - she must have an ear which enjoys the jarring sounds she majors in playing - real headache inducing stuff - dreadful. A question for forumites - does anyone like Shaker Loops - if so why? Is it just a noise or is there something musical about it that I am clearly missing?
