Lines: 25 Xref: linus net.music.classical:857 net.flame:10691 OK, Gordon, here's the beginning of a list of composers who may've been homosexual, so you can take preventive measures against AIDS transmission (remember, avoid exchange of body fliuds): Francois Poulenc Henry Cowell (Ives' publisher/promoter, despite Ives' lack of of gratitude: Ives & Ruggles were pronounced homophobes) Maurice Ravel Anton Bruckner Gustav Mahler Franz Peter Schubert Robert Schumann Ludwig van Beethoven (nephew Karl his only true love?) Samuel Barber Antonio Vivaldi Georg Friedrich Handel I could add a rather large number of living composers, some open & some closeted, but I don't want to trigger the Vladimir Horowitz syndrome & get sued. So, Mr. Moffett, you'll just have to forego listening to contemporary music unless the composer is defunct. Regards, Ron Rizzo
