Composers Forum is a daily web log that allows invited contemporary composers to share their thoughts and ideas on any topic that interests them--from the ethereal, like how new music gets created, music history, theory, performance, other composers, alive or dead, to the mundane, like getting works played and recorded and the joys of teaching. If you're a professional composer and would like to participate, send us an e-mail.
Record companies, artists and publicists are invited to submit CDs to be considered for review. Send to: Jerry Bowles, Editor, Sequenza 21, 340 W. 57th Street, 12B, New York, NY 10019
If, like me, you felt the two concerts of James Tenney in New York last month weren't nearly enough, you'll hopefully enjoy reading a series of conversations I had with him that week which we've just published on NewMusicBox. And for folks who missed those amazing concerts, be sure to watch the video which features clips from the Project Room performance as well as some rehearsal footage from the Whitney Altria.
Since May I've been madly attempting to track down every Tenney recording I don't already have. And to get the polemical waves gushing over here on Sequenza21, who else thinks that Tenney's For piano and... should be considered for the 2005 Pulitzer Prize?
