Pilgrimage to Parnassus: 2006.07
http://pilgrimagetoparnassus.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
But the mountain of the muses is to be. Reached only by a very precipitous path. Strangest choice of the Summer. Milton Babbit and Elliot Carter, two of the great figures of serialism, get together in Tanglewood to perform. Stravinsky. What am I missing here? Links to this post. Opera, Take 1 - Ironic conducting. Lately, through my chronological survey of the 19th century, I've been listening to Tannhauser. When I studied conducting in college, La Traviata. I also just watched Boris Goudonov.

But the mountain of the muses is to be. Reached only by a very precipitous path. The Manic Pixie Dreamgirl. I'd like to visit the theme of the Manic Pixie Dreamgirl. The earliest MPDG that I am aware of happens to be one of the most important literary figures of the Middle Ages. She arrives at just the right time, as our hero's life is in shambles; he finds himself locked in prison as a political prisoner, unable to make peace with the world. It may seem like a long road from The Consolation of Philosophy.

Pilgrimage to Parnassus: UE Shrugs off Lost Revenue, as E-mails are what Really Matters
http://pilgrimagetoparnassus.blogspot.com/2008/01/ue-shrugs-off-lost-revenue-as-e-mails.html
But the mountain of the muses is to be. Reached only by a very precipitous path. UE Shrugs off Lost Revenue, as E-mails are what Really Matters. I just saw this press release. Posted on the Universal Editions website regarding their actions against IMSLP. The following paragraph struck me as particularly odd:. For the record: I sent them an e-mail on December 24 of last year, and have not yet heard back. I guess UE doesn't actually respond to all their mail. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

But the mountain of the muses is to be. Reached only by a very precipitous path. Concerning the Price of Bread in China. It is my experience that usually, when someone refers to the price of bread, it's an example of the rhetorical device synecdoche. Thus, to just look at one example, when Berio writes in his Sinfonia. So, then, how much does food cost in China? There is one institution that ironically provides a decent loaf of bread for cheap. In my experience, the European-owned supermarkets that f...

Pilgrimage to Parnassus: The Depressive Nightmare Siren Girl

But the mountain of the muses is to be. Reached only by a very precipitous path. The Depressive Nightmare Siren Girl. By way of a disclaimer, I'm going to repeat a shocking confession that I mentioned once before in this space: I've seen Mona Lisa Smile. It wasn't my fault, I swear! As an archetype, she goes all the way back to Eve in a sense; other examples from classical times include Calypso and Dido. The example I'd like to focus on, though, is of a real figure from Medieval Germany. (Ok, the...In th...

Pilgrimage to Parnassus: Calling all Pretentious Elitists
http://pilgrimagetoparnassus.blogspot.com/2007/12/calling-all-pretentious-elitists.html
But the mountain of the muses is to be. Reached only by a very precipitous path. Calling all Pretentious Elitists. I added Pretentious Classical Music Elitists. That said, I don't recommend joining unless you actually like music that others describe as pretentious and elitist. Rachel Portman or Eric Whitacre fans needn't bother. The fact that people with strongly populist tastes join the group raises an interesting question: why do people want. To be labeled as pretentious and elitist? I love that group.
