Composers Forum is a daily web log that allows invited contemporary composers to share their thoughts and ideas on any topic that interests them--from the ethereal, like how new music gets created, music history, theory, performance, other composers, alive or dead, to the mundane, like getting works played and recorded and the joys of teaching. If you're a professional composer and would like to participate, send us an e-mail.
Record companies, artists and publicists are invited to submit CDs to be considered for review. Send to: Jerry Bowles, Editor, Sequenza 21, 340 W. 57th Street, 12B, New York, NY 10019
In preparation for the March 20th panel discussion Re-viewing the Reviewers (with Kyle Gann, Iris Brooks, Pauline Oliveros, Dr. Melanie Mitrano, and Al Margolis at The Gallery at Deep Listening Space in Kingston, New York. Information: http://www.pofinc.org/index2.html) I’ve been reading “Maestros Of The Pen: A History of Musical Criticism In America” by Mark N. Grant. It is a very interesting book partially because it looks at music history through the eyes of music critics. It is also well written, engaging, and tells a story never mentioned in music school.
