Blogging the 2011 League Conference: What Repertoire Sells Tickets?
This year where everyone in the orchestra community—or at least the majority—is trying simply to survive, the commitment to new music has largely gone out the window.
Jun 09, 2011 12:00AM
Is there a tendency for the language of new music to employ terms that suggest violence or aggression?
Jun 09, 2011 12:00AM
Multiple drafts allow me to explore a wider range of directions for a piece, and some of the discarded paths end up leading into new pieces; even the savviest edit can't accomplish that.
Jun 08, 2011 12:00AM
At home, I find it very difficult to listen to music and not do anything else—work, read, wash dishes, etc.

Emily Doesn't Care If You Listen
If a computer program could create new music with the push of a button, customizable to anyone's taste and without distinct intellectual copyright issues, it would revolutionize the way music is produced and consumed in everyday life.
Jun 08, 2011 12:00AM
Blogging the 2011 League Conference: Seeking Transformative Change
I was frankly quite shocked that in all this discussion of "innovation" and "transformative change" for the orchestra world, not one person mentioned the music of our time.
Jun 08, 2011 12:00AM
Response to Noah Weber's Comments on Emily Howell
The fact that I cannot predict what my program's outcomes will be is not because my program has a mind of its own, but that its computations are so fast and complex that I can't keep up with it.

Blogging the 2011 ACO Composer Readings: Wrap Up
Having pretty much collapsed into bed the night before, I wrote a draft of an errata sheet for the orchestra on the train from south Brooklyn up to 116th and Broadway yesterday morning.

Blogging the 2011 League Conference: A Tricky Balancing Act
I have to admit that wearing the hats of both composer and artist manager can be a bit tricky at times, as I must first and foremost make sure I am meeting my obligations as a manager.
Jun 07, 2011 12:00AM
One of the quandaries faced by today's composers that seemed simpler a generation or two ago is how to distribute our scores. Previously, the established publishers were the only viable method for ensuring that our music reached interested parties and for producing beautifully engraved scores. Now, music notation software allows anyone to create scores that rival professionally typeset ones in their aesthetic appeal.

Sounds Heard: John Cage—The Works for Percussion I
The history of music might finally get properly rewritten thanks to Percussion Group Cincinnati and Mode Records who have released the first-ever integral recording of Cage's complete cycle of Imaginary Landscapes which is paired with two different performances of the contemporaneous and similarly forward-sounding Credo in US

Blogging the 2011 ACO Composer Readings: Three Dining Room Tables Long
The principal said that he measured out the total number of feet necessary for the parts to be played with shared instruments; the instruments stretched out in a straight line would cover 18 feet—about three dining room tables long was the example he gave.
Jun 06, 2011 12:00AM
Blogging the 2011 ACO Composer Readings: I'm Hooked!
The new music world needs disinterested supporters in order to survive—fans who aren't themselves composers or players—and maybe we can win people over by showing them what kind of inspired work goes into a premiere, how rigorously focused and attentive all involved need to be in order to make the music happen.
Jun 06, 2011 12:00AM
No one actually seemed to be playing music by Cage, yet the sound created by them playing together all at once was Cage's music.
Jun 05, 2011 12:00AM
Blogging the 2011 ACO Composer Readings: Not a Fish on the Cutting Board
While their backgrounds were varied—from Tanglewood to Hollywood—our mentor composers, in examining each of our pieces during today's "aesthetics and form" feedback session, came to the same conclusions far more often than not (possibly evidence of clever planning, but more likely of the fact that they all really know what they're talking about).
Jun 04, 2011 12:00AM
Blogging the 2011 ACO Composer Readings: Making It Real
When you sit with a piece for a year at some point you start to lose a sense of what it would be like to actually hear living human beings play the notes on the page.
Jun 04, 2011 12:00AM
Blogging the 2011 ACO Composer Readings: Getting Beyond a First Rehearsal
At first hearing it's impossible to accurately gauge whether some moment or other isn't working because it needs more rehearsal, because it needs a compositional tweak, or because it doesn't work.
Jun 03, 2011 12:00AM
As one might expect, there have been a wide range of answers to the question about early works, ranging from nostalgia to indifference to arson, but what was unexpected (and telling) was exactly what each composer considered to be their "early works."
Jun 03, 2011 12:00AM
Improvising and composing are not the same things: Even if an improvisation leads to a new composition, the act of writing it down is not improvisation.
Jun 03, 2011 12:00AM
Blogging the 2011 ACO Composer Readings: Before & After
Those traps and pitfalls I was wondering about last night just didn't happen.
