Quote from: Christo on May 12, 2024, 12:02:58 PMTo me, Holmboe is about the only 'symphonic' composer who was able to combine the 'static' Stravinsky with a very 'symphonic', developing, style. He's unique in that respect, I would say. A good example being the opening, first one and a halve minutes, of the Fifth, but also all symphonies after that. People may disagree, but that's how I always "read" him.

I like this reading! His style is a bit difficult to put into words but it's very effective.

She yo-yo's me and I yo-yo her back, cause I'm a suburban Holmboe!

(am I the only fan of both Holmboe and Sparks here?)

Well, I have no idea what you are talking about! Clearly, cultural references are now beyond me 🙂

I am getting old, I think...
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"
