Though, what I am wondering is why the word classical is used in contemporary classical?
I think, and may be wrong - I just do not understand, it should answered by these composers of contemporary classical like:
Perhaps, I am confused, but it makes no sense why classical is attached to the name. Heck, the name classical makes little sense anyway so why go as far as calling it contempory classical?
I know that was rude, but does it not seem like that? Surely someone else feels this?
I think, and may be wrong - I just do not understand, it should answered by these composers of contemporary classical like:
"We are people who are desperate for attention. We are fascinated by music, and not only that, want to be considered musically brilliant - if not genius? Though, have no real, true, etc.understanding of the 1000's of years of experimentation? And do not have any REAL and TRUE feeling for music. We are really a bunch of pompous egoist who want to be remembered as brilliant musicians (did we already mention that?)? We go too far with our "brilliance" because that is how pompous we are! The orchestra is primarily what we prefer because it is what great musicians use for music - though we like synthesizers too, we can't emphasize this enough! The key thing to understand is, well really the brilliant musician factor, it's just so fascinating and cool! Though, the orchestra is a fascinating tool, so much can be done with it, etc...
[They have a "moment of clarity"]:
Though in truth we are not blessed with genius, or emotions and feelings like that of the true masters, so in the end our music is not music, to some degree, well at least not the music we would like it to be considered, because music, well not music, but feeling - is such a complex subject - and we highly, I mean highly lack in not, just, being able to feel on a level of such sublimity but do not really understand feeling to the degree we like to think we do - which is one of the most complex issues that can ever be questioned (feeling). Oh, while we are still in this "moment of clarity" - we would like to say that we are so shallow and pompous, did we already mention that?
[They lose their clarity and Birtwistle responds.]
Did I mention that by many I am considered to be the most famous composer in Europe?
