Since all of us here at the Guidonian Hand offices are in end-of-semester-panic mode in grad school, we haven’t had much time to write on the blog. We direct you elsewhere for thoughtful consideration of the arts. Consider it a scenic little detour. You’ll be back at the Guidonian Hand before you know it.
There are so many great blogs out there about music and the arts that it’s hard to keep track of all of them. One of the most interesting and well-written is by composer Kyle Gann (no, not the guy from Tenacious D). It’s called PostClassic. He always has enlightening things to say about music today. It’s written simply enough for anyone, but it’s always clear that he knows what he’s talking about, from analysis to performance to academia. I can’t honestly say that I read this blog daily, but I do try to read it at least once a week.
Tuesday’s post was particularly excellent, so I wanted to share it with you here. It’s about how composers talk about their own music. Read and enjoy “What Composers Talk About” on PostClassic.
