In fact, I think it's safe to say that Carmina Burana is now the most
overused piece of classical music in show business, supplanting the
previous champion, Pachelbel's Canon.

I think they share the title. The Canon in D gets all the fluffy bunny occ-
asions and GE soft white light bulb commercials and Carmina Burana does horror
flicks.

Oh cool! I've been looking for that song for a longish time, but I
never knew who did it. Not the original, I have that, but the techno
song.
ObSkating: Paul Wylie does a very cool program to this music.

Ah, but the 1812 Overture puts a good run for the money, as does
Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Plus, during Christmas time, you get overuse
of Beethoven's 9th Symphony and Handel's Messiah, as well as
Greensleeves (in "What Child is This?") And let's not forget Beethoven's
Fur Elise and Debussy's Claire de Lune which gets heavy airplay as
romantic pieces. Let's also not forget Mozart's tune that eventually
became "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Plus one that deserves honorable
mention, even though she is not a classical artist: Enya's "Storms in
Africa", which I personally think is the most overused trailer music
(I've counted it in at least _5_ trailers), not to mention the album
(Watermark)'s use in films like _L.A. Story_. Dare we mention the
Wedding March and Pomp and Circumstance? And United Airlines certainly
promoted An American in Paris enough. Heck, even Phillip Glass's
_Einstein on the Beach_ recently got a promo spot.
But I challenge a commercial to use an artist like John Cage. (:

The thing is, you are correct on all the pieces you mentioned,
but when you sit down and actually listen to them without any
visual images, they're still great music, which I'm not sure you
can say about any top 40 song today. Two of my personal
favorites -- Debussy's Clair de Lune (which is totally atypical
Debussy, btw) and the entire Messiah.

Well wait a minute. You're comparing top 40 musicians to
classical composers. No matter how much like a rock star Mozart
or Beethoven probably were, they weren't really the same thing.
They didn't write songs to sell records and such to millions of
people. Weren't they usually commisioned by royalty to write
stuff? And occassionally they wrote for themselves, as well. In
addition, to get hired to write a piece back then, didn't you
have to be proficient, and not just a pretty face? I think if
you want to compare them to someone you should compare them to
modern composers.
And on that subject you might be right. I don't know of many
modern composers. I think Glass is a joke, personally. Copland
just recently passed away, and I think he had some significant
works. And I have to say I recently heard a piece by a composer
from my home town of Flint Michigan. He won some sort of
composition competition, and quite frankly it was excellent. I
think that the music we hear in day to day life is the
equivalent of what we see on TV. Entertaining and mostly just
trash, with the occasional amazingly good piece which of course
gets no airplay and is eventually cancelled/dropped/whatever.

Clair de Lune is fun to play!

Wasn't Debussy really the only Impressionist musician? Who else

True. Most Top 40 pieces simply tend to fade away after time, or get
overplayed. Most good classical I can still listen to. (BTW, I know what
you mean about Debussy- Clair de Lune is a piece he wrote at a
relatively young age, before he started doing more impressionistic
stuff, like Prelude de L'Apres-Midi D'un Faune (more typical and equally
known for morning/sunrise scenes).)
On the other hand, there are quite a bit of composers still floating
around there. I know many think Phillip Glass is a joke, but one can't
really discount Terry Riley and Steve Reich for their contributions.
(And Einstein on the Beach IMHO can't be discounted no matter what you
think of Glass.) The thing is, I think a lot of today's would-be
classical composers are doing other things. For all you know, Brian Eno,
Frank Zappa, and others may have been classical artists in another time
period. Heck, many of today's soundtrack composers (John Williams, James
Horner, Maurice Jarre, Hans Zimmer, et al) are doing what Mozart did
before. While many of the pieces of the above are fluff, I think many of
Mozart's prolific output is fluff as well. Music really hasn't changed,
it's just become more commercialized. (: Innovation that is popular is
few and far between.
(And to Darren- The Impressionists of music certainly include Debussy
and Ravel, plus a couple of other French artists that I can't think of.
Gershwin sometimes is thrown in the category although I personally
wouldn't count him as such.)

Yes. Most often, to be a successful composer or artist, you needed
a patron.
>And occassionally they wrote for themselves, as well. In
>addition, to get hired to write a piece back then, didn't you
>have to be proficient, and not just a pretty face?
Weeeeelllll... depends on what your patron had in mind,
ifyaknowwhatImean. And there was a lot of crappy music
around back then, just like there is now. But the filter of
time has eliminated most of the crap, and we're left with
the best stuff.
Example -- in Bach's (J.S., that is) time, if you had asked
the average music-knowing-type-person who the best composer
of the day was, they would have said Telemann, almost certainly.
Time has proven that wrong. Telemann is still well-known and
-respected, still played (especially by violists who have almost
no repetoire of their own, lemme tell you), but Bach is considered
the genius.
So in other words, I'm not comparing them, really -- I'm just
saying I prefer not to have to listen to the drek while I'm
waiting for the gem. There's some brilliant music out there
today. You just have to work to find it. Besides, I think
as a culture, we're more accepting of mediocrity now than
ever before. But as for brilliant modern composers -- Barber,
Copland, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Bernstein are all good examples.
Except they're all dead now. I think you have to look outside
the US to find the best stuff now (try Arvo Part, I've heard he's
really good). We Americans are, in general, too self-obsessed...
it's a problem with literature, too.
Way to go, Darrin, getting me started on this!
>Wasn't Debussy really the only Impressionist musician? Who else
>are you counting?
Well, Impressionism is really a misnomer,
but Faure, Satie, Ravel (to an extent)... those guys. And "Clair
de Lune" isn't typical of Debussy. Listen to "La cathedrale engloutie"
if you want to hear Debussy at his best.

Of course it is! It's from Professor Peter Scheikele,

alter ego, PDQ Bach (the 21st son of JS Bach -- the one
they never talk about).
It's off an old album of his. Can't remember the album,
but the track is "New Horizons in Music Appreciation."
He and this other guy call the first movement of

Personally, I like "The Seasonings." Of course, nothing can beat
his duet (Concerto for Two Violins mit Orchestra) with Itzahk
Perlman on Evening with Pops. Who knew Itzahk was that funny?
I mean, he is my all-time favorite violinist, but I had no idea he
could be a comedian, too, until I saw him put his violin in his
lap and strum it like a banjo while singing.

Yes! This is all the creation of P.D.Q. Bach -- the last and the least of
composer J.S. Bach's 21 children. Professor Peter Shickele -- of the
Department of Musical Pathology at the University of Southern North Dakota
at Hoople -- has dedicated his life to finding and preserving the works
of the man who may very well be the worst composer of all time. Professor
Schickele conducted the Turtle Mountain Naval Base Tactical Wind Ensemble
for the album Music for an Awful Lot of Winds on Percussion and also created
"New Horizons in Music Appreciation" -- which consists of two music-casters
making a play-by-play analysis of a performance of Beethoven's Fifth.
As you can tell, I'm a really big P.D.Q. Bach fan -- anyone interested
in learning more about his work can e-mail me at stubbs...@sc.edu

Better pipe down, Soundwave - rec.music.industrial is right across the
street, and there are people in there who would hit you over the head and
leave you in a ditch someplace for that record.

Around here, our Windows NT/Linux system is named crow, since he likes PCs
and my Mac is named tom-servo, for obvious reasons.
Here's an actual excerpt from my hosts file:
crow IN A 198.136.172.1 ; 486 Tower
tom-servo IN A 198.136.172.2 ; PowerMac
cambot IN A 198.136.172.3 ; Mac server

sampo IN A 198.136.172.5 ; Paul's Mac
torgo IN A 198.136.172.6 ; RS/6000 (not working)

That last one has to be the most appropriate one of the bunch
(whether its working or not). I assume it was running AIX at one point?

Yeah, but once you go irix, you'll never go back.

Feh. I've supported ATT Unix, NCR Unix, SCO Unix, DEC Ultrix, DG/UX,
SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX, and AIX, and I can say without reservation that AIX
is the most pleasant to work with. (Well, the qdaemon admittedly needs
some work.) Heck, if more OS's utilized the volume group concept I'd be a
much less crankier support guy.

It was, until we replaced the startup drive without having an 8mm tape
drive to re-load AIX.
