so after a long month of writing and trying to figure out how to write out what I hear in my head I finally finished my choral piece. You will notice there is no recording. Thats because I cannot create a mock up of this piece due to the nature of the piece. Im just posting the PDF here until I can get it read.

"To point out the obvious. Beethoven's thematic material, such as a simple arpagiated Eb major chord or 3 Gs and an Eb may seem to be less elegant than the thematic material of other composers. So what? its what he does with this material that…"

michael diemer replied to Tyler Hughes's discussion A music's message that rubs the wrong way"Perhaps my relative dislike of it, is due to the fact that it has been so overplayed on the radio.

"well even Haydn's Farewell symphony may be seen as political as well as the Brandenburg concertos, trying to curry favor with the Margarve .. that is try to curry favor and not curry flavor."

michael diemer replied to Tyler Hughes's discussion A music's message that rubs the wrong way"Ah, Tyler, you got me there. Or do you?

Tyler Hughes replied to Tyler Hughes's discussion A music's message that rubs the wrong way"What about Beethoven's 3rd. A symphony written with a very specific message in mind and very political in its undertones.

I guess one could argue that Beethoven's 9th has a political message.. all that about men being brothers and so on. Is that a waste of time?
In my opinion, this was not a political message, it was a spiritual message. I…"
