hi dan...
7:22 pm
godthaab
Yes, I wanted to know why they called her Parallel Fifths. Bad in Theory class?
7:26 pm
aebmusica
No very good in Theory class! I helped grade papers and I helped my fellow students find their parallel fifths on their homework papers before they handed them in.
7:29 pm
godthaab
Ah! I could have used you. I was always in parallel fifth hell. Many years later, when I actually started teaching university level theory, I found a great way to avoid them altogether!
7:31 pm
aebmusica
Counterpoint always helps!
7:32 pm
godthaab
Oh, yes!
7:32 pm
aebmusica
Where did You go to school?
7:33 pm
aebmusica
Were you a Theory and Composition major?
7:34 pm
godthaab
University of Toronto. I also audited at Michigan State. Education Major, Composition Minor. Now I do a lot of composing for film soundtracks. You?
7:39 pm
aebmusica
Baldwin-Wallace University and Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio!.I had two majors.....Voice and Theory/composition and 4 minors)piano, harp, German and French.
7:41 pm
godthaab
Very impressive! I majored on sax, (clar. flute) and English / Philosophy as my non majors.
7:45 pm
aebmusica
WOW.....one does not find Theory /composition enthusiasts out there very often. I couldn't take up the Sax, because at that time we were having too much trouble wit Sax and Violins in the Public Schools!(LOL)
7:45 pm
godthaab
Do you have soundcloud stuff?
7:46 pm
aebmusica
No....what is that?( I am an oldie, but a goodie)!
7:48 pm
godthaab
It is a site where you can post your original music; mostly for people who write their own music.
7:49 pm
aebmusica
I'll have to look that up......are you on it?
7:50 pm
aebmusica
Right now, besides composing, I am heavily into instrumental and choral arranging.

I am working on a major compostion that has taken me the better part of a year to put together. It is re-orchestrated music from a Holocaust survivor that has not really been heard since 1946. Big World Premiere in May.

It will be premiered at Jewish Music Festival in Toronto in May 2017. The guy who wrote the original music is the cousin of Wladyslaw Szpilman, who was the protagonist in "The Pianist", quite a famous movie circa 2003.

if I ever get to California, your area, I'd like to meet you. Megan is in Aptos. Gillian's s of Carson City. So I seldom see those two. i notice people come and go on Babble. (But I have other things to write.)

Aptos is a ways a way from me to be honest
11:40 pm
RoundBarn
Yes, there are ralluies all over the country. I just published a good poem about zeus--but won't copy it here. Comparing him without actually saying it--an innocent lewd poem. Il Times printed it in my usual slot.

11:41 pm
