Bad Scheduling

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Two hours of Julian Anderson at 50 from the Total Immersion concerts from earlier in the day.

No reason why these pieces could have featured in the mainstream schedules.

And the Beeb had better bloody give at least equal broadcasting time to Rebecca Saunders who will be 50 in December. Now there's a real composer.

59?

Exactly - why don't we/they introduce these composers on Essential Classics, In Tune, etc?

Right a bit. Fire!

- corrected.

Anderson isn't at all a bad composer - he doesn't write Music that would scare anyone's horses (some of us might wish that there was a little more equine frightening content in his work, but obviously he himself disagrees); there's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't feature in the programmes with the larger audience numbers.

When I saw the thread topic I thought that it might be a place in Germany...

I thought it was something to do with clearing out the garden shed - this being that time of year... Well, everyone seems to say SKEDjool these days, in readiness for all those transatlantic trade deals to be made...

Well you can take your "shed" from the French if you want, but etymologically "sked" is more apposite.

Not really, is it? The early English form 'sedule' goes directly back to the French, from a later Latin form sceda or scida. Chedull appeared in 1578 and schedull in 1584. Unless you have some phobia about French derivations, there is no reason to hark back to some long abandoned Greek form, otherwise you would do better to speal Greek.

Off topic, but he started it, miss.

Here's some pond life on the subject.

Two mistakes in that:

1. Schedule was not a 'borrowing' from Greek. Such linguistic borrowings came in largely during the Renaissance and later, but cedule was already in English from at least the 14th c..

2. School isn't really similar anyway as the vowel is different. Latin scola would be pronounced sk anyway before o.

The 'borrowings' with sch- were purely spellings. They did not indicate Greek pronunciation.

"12 Replies", I read - twelve! - on the Hear & Now Thread!! That's about three times the total for the last thirteen programmes. There must be some interest in Anderson and his placing in the hutules.


I might have known ....

Make that 13.

I was inspired to listen to this.
