Entry: The Death of Music by the Spirit of Government Subsidies Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_death_of_music_from_the_spirit_of_government_subsidies#15325 Post contents: B says: " But the themes that inspired classical music are no more. Can you imagine a piece called the “September Eleventh Overture”?" No, but I can imagine Adams' "On the Transmigration of Souls," which is about the same event. Or Penderecki's "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima," which is as scary and visceral a piece as has ever been written. So the themes are still out there - some of them anyway. Sent at: 2008 07 24
