Greetings from Louisiana
« on: May 05, 2020, 05:47:36 PM »
Hi Everyone,

My name is Steve.  I'm a professional librarian, and I've had a longstanding interest in classical music for over 40 years. 

Some of my favorite composers include Tchaikovsky, Bartok, Beethoven, Schoenberg, Webern, Berg, Haieff, Waxman, Herrmann, Rozsa, Bach, and Rachmaninoff.

I look forward to discussing various composers and their works.

Hello, Steve!

I was a librarian in some small period of my life at end of 80s.

Welcome, Steve! Great sheaf of composers there; This week, I was talking to a friend of mine in Binghamton about Herrmann's score to the Twilight Zone episode, "Walking Distance," and listening to vintage Doráti recordings of Bartók!

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

Welcome aboard, Steve! Great list of composers that you’re into --- we have several in common. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Hello and welcome aboard. I was a librarian for two orchestras in the '70s. Can be a thankless job at times.

Even more belated welcome, and interesting to see all the librarians declaring themselves - here's another one (although sadly not at the moment).  And I'm certainly with you in a love of Bartók, Bach and the Second Viennese school.  Do post again!
