At the suggestion of several members, I have added some requisite screening questions for newly registering members. Registrants' responses will remain private.

"glad you liked it, Guy -- it's had mixed reactions though one person who I didn't think would care for it did - and said it was the sort of thing a local choir of his liked to put on. Anyway, I've now started to work on a symphony which is supposed…"

"I love this, David - really interesting ideas, which sometimes evoke something within, especially the slower parts (not really the parts iwith fast voices and/or staccato strings, but that's just personal preference).  You mention you don't…"

"You must feel very proud, and so you should. I like Hiraeth and its quality. It made me even curious about the works by the other composers listed on the cover of Sparks 2. I guess you must prefer the company of equals, or did someone else select…"

"<“I’m mainly here for the entertainment. A funny anecdote would be nice,” it becomes clear that she views herself as being on a higher level than others in the forum. She essentially admits that she is here to laugh at the amateur work, rather than…"

"Terrific Mate. You deserve it, I hope the performance goes well. Will it be recorded?"

"As I've said before I'm pretty allergic to English pastoralism and especially The Lark Ascending but this is certainly beautifully written and the tune heard at 1'50" has a certain touching nobility. I can see this piece doing well and hope the…"

"This is great, Dave! Well deserved! A wonderful performance through Parma, as well. Your piece gives me a similar feeling of the V Williams Tallis theme (which I love), but it is all your own, with some interesting harmonic shifts. Kudos! "

David Lilly replied to Dave Dexter's discussion Performed in concert (in Colorado)
"Congratulations, Dave- It's a beautiful piece and deserves to be heard. I'm on the East Coast, so it's quite a distance from me, but I'm thrilled for your success and to see it. "

Anyone here live near Colorado State University? They're putting on a concert of British string works this Sunday and including my tone poem Hiraeth. They paid for the score and parts and everything. Full details here.Hiraeth itself can be heard…

"didn't know about that one. I'll remember to put more often parsley in my curries like last night. On the other hand, as I hardly ever use a mobile phone, my risk there is probably below average.

"I have Pianoteq as well and v8 is pretty good -- certainly better than previous ones. It's just lacking a bit of soul somehow! I guess for around a decade people have been saying that modelled is the future but it's been rather slow in coming.…"

Rowy replied to David's discussion String quintet no.1
"Funny that you mentioned Pianoteq—that's the piano I always use. As you know by now, I prefer modelled instruments. Perhaps that's because years ago, I had a computer with very little memory. Now I use a laptop with plenty of memory and a fast GPU,…"

"I don't really believe you're incapable of writing emotional music but certainly being formally trained has its disadvantages On the other hand, it means you can formally train others so they also lose the ability to write emotional music.

  • Oh, and please welcome our new members, if you have a chance.
  • I've allowed a few new prospective members through. If you should observe signs of bother, abuse, or any other matter that arouses suspicion, please advise me promptly.. Thanks all.
  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
