WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms

Ending the year with - at last! - a female composer. Jennifer Higdon is a New Yorker, born 31st December 1962. Writing contemporary music in the classical style, I listened to quite a few items before settling on this selection. I liked this piece as played by the Portland Youth Philharmonic because it is not perfect. It gets just a little muddied in the middle, but the conductor carries them through, and as a whole, it's a lovely harmonic and scenic item. Just a hint of Copeland in it, perhaps?
