Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?

 

A modern version of the Passion oratorio, done by a composer whose name I cannot recall, on a classical music station here in Portland.

 

I can't understand a word of it (it's in Latin) but the music is beautiful, reminiscent of Gregorian Chant. Instrument-makers in New York once put up a sign in their shop saying "Stradivarius made new violins". I'm wondering whether I'll ever see similar bumper stickers saying "Beethoven wrote New Music". Modern classical composer is almost a self-contradiction, such a lonely profession that one wonders why anyone would endure being so thoroughly ignored?
