This popped out from the background of the new Wes Anderson movie last night. I didn't know this one, so I had to look it up to see if it was bona fide or a simulacrum fabricated by Jarvis Cocker.



(The track, like many of its ilk, is wacky from a recording standpoint: the backing track is so quiet compared to the vocal, and the singer sounds like she wants to go faster than the tempo of it anyway, which may be part of the charm.)

is "classical" music dead yet?
did Philip Glass put a stake in it?
with this here very album?

it seems inarguable that "it" has been in its death throes for at least as long as the 35 years that have transpired since.
the question i want to frame is, "is there any poignancy perceivable in the moment Bernard Fowler intones, in perhaps insupportably soulful tones, over a patented Glass so-subtle-its-barely-noticeable change in triplet flow, "maybe its the hum of changing opinion" ???

does anyone on here give a dry, academic fart about any of it?

If there's no 'new' music to be discovered, 'classical' music has nothing to exist in opposition to.

Which, just picked up this piece of classical music the other day on wax:

Ha! Well said and well posted!

You caught my use of quotations, yeah?

I think if you'd asked Glass in the mid-8Ts, he would have told you he was making "New Music' as opposed to "classical" or "western art music" or what have you

Notoriously "difficult" classical musician Glenn Gould said back in the 7Ts that "the future of music is in pastiche" or words to that effect.... pretty sure he was limiting his remarks to the "classical" or western art music" genre, and he may just have borrowed that from someone else that said it sooner, but it turns out he was pretty prescient and not just in the realm of the "classical" :smurf:

i'm also pretty sure he wasn't exactly happy about the coalescing pattern, but me, i'm a child of my times, and i gotta say i like it, it fits my particular brand of ocd

which is as good an excuse to spin some Naked City as i need on any given afternoon....
