Everything I've heard that's been written in the last fifty years is either atonal, amelodic, repetitive (e.g. P. Glass) or simplistic (J. Williams). Doesn't anyone write beautiful, melodic, serious music anymore? =============== Just this week heard the Toronto Symphony and the Toronto Childrens' Choir give the world premiere of Andrew Davis' "Chansons Innocentes", which seems to be just what you want (and original, as well). (Andrew Davis conducting). -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt {uw-beaver,qucis,watmath}!utcsrgv!dciem!mmt
