Yes, modern Brit composers are still doing the same thing. Thomas Ades' piano piece 'Darknesse Visible' is a reworking of 'In Darkness let me Dwell'. It's a long way from the original, but Dowland still shines through. A beautifully textured work. [1]http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/062828/details.html (to buy the score....)

2009/12/4 Stephen Stubbs <[3]theother1...@sbcglobal.net> So how does this compare to "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones? As a Brit discussing a past Brit composer, are modern Brit composers doing the same thing or is "Paint It Black" saying something more serious? (Sometimes it's best to hear an opinion from someone who has grown up in the same culture give their insights. A lot goes into a baby along with Mother's Milk that someone outside that culture would not pick up on.) Best, Stephen. __________________________________________________________________ From: "[4]chriswi...@yahoo.com" <[5]chriswi...@yahoo.com> To: Lute list <[6]l...@cs.dartmouth.edu>; Peter Martin <[7]peter.l...@gmail.com> Sent: Thu, December 3, 2009 9:34:32 AM Subject: [LUTE] Re: Renaissance Metaphors --- On Thu, 12/3/09, Peter Martin <[1][8]peter.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Peter Martin <[2][9]peter.l...@gmail.com> > Subject: [LUTE] Re: Renaissance Metaphors > To: "Lute list" <[3][10]l...@cs.dartmouth.edu> > Date: Thursday, December 3, 2009, 9:54 AM > Reminds me of > "Starless and Bible Black".
