I see the term "classical music" used with varying intent so I thought I would ask what the term means, or what you think it means.
Is classial music that body of work written in Europe between 1750 and 1830? Is it music that is kept alive because of performing traditions? Does the meaning of "classical music" change with the location of the music? Are Japanese Gagaku and Persian Radif examples of classical music? By "classical" do we mean music that has an intent other than…

michael diemer said… Fred, I just read your Bio. It triggered a laughing attack that almost went into an asthma attack. I demand that you mail me an inhaler, or other suitable pharmacological agent.
Fredrick,
The quality of posts has been flagging lately. How about posting something. Something old? We new comers would like to hear more of your work.

Janet Spangenberg said… Hey, Fredrick... I spent some time listening to your music today. I especially liked your "Scherzo 1882 for Wind Quintet", "American Songs", and "Statements for Clarinet and String Trio". Great stuff!
Diane Webster said… Thank you for your comment! I'm still getting used to using the VSTs on Cubase to achieve the sounds I want but it's getting easier with every composition :-)
Doug Lauber said… fredrick- I just got home at 11 PM, checking the internet...wow! Thanks for the support, I appreciate it. I'm trying to do the best I can with help from my friends ...and just maybe the album will reach a high standard, provide some good entertainment. Thanks again for the encouragement- It means a lot coming from you.
Fernando Vazquez said… Thank you Frederick for your comments on my Variations..I sincerely appreciate your input....I will eventually get to the impressionistic period...but I must make a stop first on the romantics.....thanks for listening....

August Champlin said… Thanks for your comments on Cor Agitur! You're absolutely right. I need to develop this brief exercise into a fully fleshed-out piece with a contrasting theme. It's really not far out at all, by modern standards. Nonetheless, except even doing this much pushed me way beyond what I thought I would ever do. Still, I'm glad you thought it held together. Unity and coherence are important ideals for me, even in "experimental" music.
August Champlin said… It's interesting that you should write, "I only wish I had your skill and talent," to me, because I wish I had your adventurous way with harmony. I am glad that there is a Fredrick Zinos lending his voice to the musical arts.
August Champlin said… Despite the self-disparagement in your profile with regard to your talent, I think you write with an interesting voice. Your music is harmonically adventurous, fluent, and structurally sound. Well done!
