Of course it is. Name another composer who's true art is the tango?

He is the man as far as that is concerned.

Every good composer can do something incredibly well, bach is the fugue man, it doesn't mean that he can only write fugues and that's it. He can really write other forms of composition. He just happens to be the best at fugues. Other comparisions can be drawn all over the place.

Minimalism, well you know Steve Reich is the king of it! Doesn't mean he can't really right absolute classical music, the idea of absolute and classical music doesn't hold up.

Hi,

Nothing for the U.S at the minute, maybe 2006 will be an option, Cleveland and Oregon, but I'm not sure.

Difficult times for art and music at the minute, the current worldwide political situation (s) are proving draining to many countries so therefore art / music suffers.

Actually it's a slavic name - black god.

not just cyrillic.

just so's you know.

Well, after reading Rovias' points, ok maybe I was quick to judge. But as you say, many real classical composers use folk elements, and maybe that threw me.

Still, it has brought attention to the classical forum, may it last.

If you would've posted something about John Cage, I wouldn't have complained...and he pretty much avoided the whole traditional school of composition, so...

That was an inside joke between me and T. Had nothing to do with Chernobog, but with T's other interests. He's an old friend from CA.

BTW folks, did you know that Shaun Groves from Jars of Clay studied classical music?

Quote from an interview of his...if you can believe it:

"What I strive to do, is create enough art, that it doesn't get in the way of communication. You can have so much art that no one really listens to it. I had a composition teacher who had me write all these pandiatonic, atonal, weird string concertos, with seven saxophones in the background -- all this weird, weird mess. And I wrote it, and I abided by all the rules of 20th Century music, and it was really "out there."

Kind of sounds like Piazzolla's experiences with serious music. Sort of abandoned it for lighter fare.

So is CCM music classical?
