The Great Thing About Suspended Animation

Now on the other side of 5 credits at Kent State University, I actually have some free moments to think and there has been a couple of things I have been wanting to share. Actually there is more than a couple, I just have not had the time. Most of them deal with new music that I have come across this year that I have really been taken with. A 1991 article by Bennett Reimer in which he poses four criteria for judging quality in music has made me think about my recent choices for our spring concert on Tuesday evening, May 6th (which was huge – stay tuned to Mustech.net for furture details!). When you consider matters of craftsmanship, authenticity, imagination, and sensitivity, I feel like the program really hit on all accounts. This whole idea prompts todays blog, and bringing some great composers and their pieces some well deserved attention.
