20thC composers in their own words: new series on BBC4 TV

[Serial_Apologist]

Thanks

But why the ? After all, you did ask! I hadn't heard of half of them, mind!

I'd just add Sally Beamish to the above lists.

Thanks

Shortlist:

Ferneyhough, Barrett, RSaunders, Sciarrino, Lachenmann, Hinton.


BeefO - Alexandrj Leonovich Warczorskiew is superb, but I can't find anything on youTube

I am really surprised you mention Ferneyhough
Are you absolutely sure

Oh, yes: I'd forgotten the Bazouki virtuoso twin brother. Such a terribly sad story; conscripted by a deaf recruiting sargeant into Ethnic Instrument Heavy Artillery Squad, all would have been well, but for a "friendly" play-off with the Royal Highland Bagpipe Infantry and a freak accident with a loose chanter. (They say his compositions were even better than his brother's!)




I tell you what - this new medication is BRILLIANT!

[Boilk]

Yep, but we're only in year 15 of the C21, so who knows!?

Unless the Christian calendar began with the year zero, I think we're in year 14.

I do hope there is some banter from either Milton Babbitt or Elliott Carter in this mini-series. Though judging by the episode 1 précis, it seems to be rather Euro-centric.

No, year fourteen was completed last year in 2013, and we are now in year 15. Please pay attention.

Beefy, since the 21st century began on 1st January 2001 (it was the 2000s that began on 1st January 2000) we will not be in "year 15 of the C21" until 2015 ... so it's detention after class for you

Perhaps a visit to a certain page at Wikipedia is in order?

yeah yeah yeah

BUT

The SIGNIFICANT bit is when you change what you write
The year 2000 WAS the start of something NEW because that's what it felt like !

When my car did 100000 miles I noticed it, I didn't wait to 1000001 for me to think that I had THEN been a significant distance............

Beefy is in the 1950's anyway (all that synth music to come )

Come on, stop it.

01/01/00 was the first day of the new millennium, the 21st one. 14 years have elapsed since then. We are in the 15th year as we speak.

I was not even born in the 1950s!

Btw, I've got you a belated birthday present. A personalised bottle of whiskey

[teamsaint]

please be careful if you are posting about pieces composed in the year 2000.

Put like that, it could be taken to mean that you were born before the 1950s but I'm sure that this wasn't the case and wasn't what you meant.

I'm sure that this was most generous of you, but it raises two questions in my mind. Firstly, the personalisation aspect of it puzzles me, for two reasons, in that not only had I no idea that MrGG is really Mr Small, Mr Batch or even Mr Creek (a relative of Jonathan of that ilk, peut-être?) but I can also barely bring myself to believe that he is aged 9 - such unprecedented precocity! - secondly, I cannot imagine that anyone would want a present of whisky that has an E in it (and I find references to E numbers especially surprising coming from someone who believes himself to be an inhabitant of "EUSSR")...

MrGG's Christian name is in bold on the label. Nothing to do with Creek etc, and we're talking mental age (when discussing politics ).

My preference is Scotch whisky, but our young American cousins (and others that should know better (the Irish, for example) like an 'E' with their whisky).

The Canadians can spell, but they're ethnic Scots anyway.
