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
If you're coming to this page directly, shame on you. You should always look at the frontpage first to see if I've written anything good. But, seriously folks, don't miss the first post on conductor Carmen Helena Téllez' new S21 blog because it deals with the importance of "voice," which--I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly--is what David Toub means by "style" in his post below. Carmen also recounts some adventures with the notoriously gnarly Ralph Shapey.
