I personally found this episode very appealing....I haven't listened for a while and this group of works (a lot of young artist works) was just what I needed and within the sound-range I like best....I do not think it is particularly adventurous stuff but Piers Hallawells Rapprochment was a well put together piece aided by the Ulster Orchestra....I've listened to the programme 3 times while working....which is the way music gets played in my studio https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001s5k7

To me too much "new music" manages to imply that atonality can just be swept under the carpet of inconvenient memory. Chords "not having to resolve if they don't want to" in the great Charles Ives's famous view, were hard won against the powers of popes and dictators who used music as an emollient. Respectful of that revolt having widened the terrain of creative choice against Those Who Have Ordered Us About To Keep Us In Our Humble Place, I think that defining, definite, definitive ending in happiness ever after C major (or any other major) needs to be equally hard won to be deserving.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View PostComment

Well, I hope that I might have achieved something like that at the close of my string quintet but that's not really for me to say...Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post

....You'd be better asking that in a different place....I did see a double decker bus with it's destination claiming to be Fuge....even that got resolved by stopping at various bus- stops (people got on , people got off)....but, did reach the terminus....well almost ( it was one of those 'turnarounds' at an industrial estate, or distant housing estate on a windy hill)....your problem ( if indeed it is a problem)Alistair, is that there are not 349 versions of your work, nor has anyone person bought 25 recording of it - so how could we possibly tell....your other problem is of course that you are still alive....
....as usual meant with glee (and not meant to hurt in any manner)....if you can think of a better critique (if indeed it can be seen as a critique) please post...
....I didn't quite understand what Serial was saying in the first place....bong chingComment
