Well...that's only mildly insulting. After all, isn't movie music a viable genre of classical music? Many colleges are teaching movie music as a new era in classical music (I've heard some refer to John Williams as "Neo-Romantic"). Some might even argue that the Firebird and Rite of Spring were early versions of movie music. Didn't Aaron Copland and Dmitri Shostakovich write a good amount of movie music too?
Perhaps I would suggest that those who do not accept this as a viable form of classical music have their heads buried in the sand and are part of the reason for the steady decline of ticket sales for symphonies world wide. After all, how many times can an orchestra play Haydn 94 before it's no longer a surprise to the audience? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Canarutto Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2007 7:06 AM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] What the heck? >Am I the only one experiencing this unpleasant phenomenon? > >Peter Hirsch You aren't. (You forgot Conn series numbers.) Many were not on the list the last time an old thread was discussed. We must also realize that many on the list are more interested in movie music than in classical literature.
