I fear even the standard repertoire of every orchestra in the land is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Ever notice how the audience seems to be made up of exclusively older folks like myself.

I have loved every cat I have ever had, even some who did not love me back. A male cat of mine recently died. It was always healthy, but suddenly developed a sneeze and a cough and died within a couple of weeks. It was not contagious since all of my other cats remain healthy. Very sad ...

Why classical music is in decline is open to question, but the fact remains that it is. Andre Jute, a former music critic now living in Ireland, could probably tell us why.

Our culture is now almost totally secular. All baroque music is more and more for museums, not for live concerts that people will pay an admission fee to attend.

But that is what I like about it. It is indeed a concert piece. I simply hate most sacred music. All that blather about God sickens me, no matter how magnificent the music. Mozart and Schubert also wrote masses that were more concert pieces than church music. The fatal flaw of Bach for me was his religiosity. In fact, it is what ruins most baroque music for me. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
