us classics
- An american genius. Don’t look for rhythmic or harmonic content. It’s all about sounds hovering in space, a sense of dissolution, a music of immersion, taking an eternal bath, without beginning or end, heavily influenced by painters as Mark Rothko.
- One of the most important american composers. Look for pulse, patterns, and gradual processes: experience music like „placing your feet in the sand by the oceans’s edge and watching, feeling, listening to the waves as they gradually bury them.“
- The american neo-romantic composer, born in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Wrote a piece about Knoxville (a summer evening in the back yard with the whole family assembled, as seen through the eyes of a small child). Less daring, not exactly trying to push the envelope, kind of pornographic in it's total focus on emotional response. This piece is assumed to be the "saddest classical" work ever. It was played at the funerals of US presidents FDR and JFK, as well as at those of Princess Grace and Rainier III, Prince of Monac, used in 9/11 tv memorials, and as the main theme in the movie Platoon.
