Well, you could have fooled me. I thought it meant Dead White European Male. Berio and Messiaen are dead, AFAIK, and were European and male. They probably weren't white, more likely pale brown or pink, and they certainly weren't dead white (hardly any fit person is), but they would have been described as White, as opposed to Oriental or African, by lots of people (especially the ones who _are_ opposed to Orientals and Africans, and care about these things). I am pleased that your definition excludes Binchois, Palestrina, Victoria, Carver, Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, and the Gabrielis. -- Ken Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.mooremusic.org.uk/ I reject emails > 100k automatically: warn me beforehand if you want to send one _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
