Now you've piqued my interest!

Here are some more, then. ~~Some~~ Most are pretty hard, though one is very easy. And there's the scent of red herring about....

Don't think I know any of them.

lukeottevanger · October 15, 2008, 02:10:19 PM

I think you'll know one of them when a CD you've had your eye one arrives in the post (if it's the CD I think it is).

I forgot one, BTW. It's just scanning....

Here we are:

LO 393. It's by a composer I feel quite an affinity with, and this piece, as you can see, share's Ascent's focus on the pitch G.

But there are so many! Sibelius I'm guessing, which just arrived today.

What's that CD got on it, I can't remember?

Are these scores that influenced your new piece? The last one is very very very similar to your ending!

Guido · October 15, 2008, 02:20:16 PM

Finlandia, Karelia, Luonnotar, Tapiola, En saga, Night ride and Sunrise, Pohjola's Daughter, Four Legends from the Kalevala.

No, they're just things I grabbed off the shelf. But yes, as I said, the last one does have strong similarities with the end of Ascent (and the whole piece and indeed much of this composer's work has similar concerns to Ascent's, too), although it hasn't consciously been in my mind recently. My choice of the note G as the central note in Ascent was actually, believe it or not, probably partly connected with the fact that I knew Beethoven's PC 4 was also in the concert!
