Composers who are entering the pantheon/standard repertoire

[Gurn Blanston]

Wait a minute! Are you saying that their are grownups among us?

What?

(That changes everything....)

Somewhere, if we look hard enough....

[Sean]

I won't post...

I tried some Ferrari though, Petite symphonie intuitive pour un paysage de printemps which is mostly dreamy and the shorter Visage No.5 which is very choppy in an interesting antiphonal way that Stockhausen was to improve on...

I won't post...

I cannot be the only one who got a belly-laugh from this apparently unwitting irony....

[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

an interesting antiphonal way that Stockhausen was to improve on...

Wow, Sean said Stockhausen "improved on" something? Good Lord, what is the world coming to?

[Sean]

Stockhausen must be the greatest serial composer.

That's not saying a great deal.

But credit where it's due.

[North Star]

Serial as in 'serial killer', sure.

Gurn,

I'm not sure that this whole "grownup" thing is all it's cracked up to be.

But OK. I do recall when I was substitute teaching in high school and junior high advising people to ignore outrageous and egregiously stupid remarks.

I seem to have regressed myself from that lofty eminence. (That is, if I ever occupied said eminence. I may have never actually taken my own advice, you know.)

Anyway, just sayin'.

Your friend,

Michael

Michael,
Yes, I can see we have some way to go. A copy to each of the AARP magazine, Modern Maturity might just be the order of the day. It almost makes me think that the complaints about wild behavior were merely part of the intrinsic enjoyment of wild behavior. 

C'mon, chaps, let's focus: pantheon....

Pantheon raid!

[ibanezmonster]

Oh dear! Why does every thread I start have to bring about a debate on the meaning of a word!

That's GMG in general.
Like my "underrated composers" thread... people can't just have fun and go with it, but have to philosophize and analyze the meaning of the word "underrated."  Hopefully that type of attention to detail is put to use in a good way in real life.

Best post of the year award!!

...people can't just have fun and go with it, but have to philosophize and analyze the meaning of the word "underrated."

Yes, way more fun to talk without knowing what we're talking about, to talk at cross-purposes because everyone has a different idea as to what's going on. Yeah. Much more fun.

(What makes you think that philosophizing and analyzing aren't fun? Though speaking for myself, I must say it does get a bit tedious feeling I have to clear away the underbrush every fricking time before I can even "have fun" on a thread. "Go with it" is all well and good, but if you don't know what the hell "it" is, then what is it you're going with?

Perhaps a bit more care on the thread starting end of things? You know, just in general. )

Of course, as long as we're discussing the meaning of words, does the use of pantheon mean, as the Greek root might suggest, that certain composers are "gods"?
