@GrammarTable I remember being taught "she" (at the threat of slapped knuckles -- yeah, a bad year at a Catholic school) but I don't say it that way.

What were you taught to do here? (Or what do you *think* you were taught to do here?) "Chris, who was more than three decades older than _____ (she, her), came by as she was working."

@MusicOfLee It occurs to me you might like something purty -- this simple song that I composed in 1968. Here's a performance from last year with me surprising the audience by joining the singer on the reprise. youtube.com/watch?v=P_EhpH…

For many of us, the approaching holidays means we'll be taking a short break from writing music. So... before that break, do any #composers have some new music that they'd like to share? I'd love to have some new music to listen to tomorrow!

@MusicOfLee Here's one of my three pieces from an August CompCord concert: youtube.com/watch?v=JBHFOG…

I've posted a demo of "Winter", but in case you're wondering what one of my epic large-orchestra pieces sounds like before you contribute, here's a performance of "Softening Cries" (Symphony No. 5, Part 2) from 1992. (Alas, no video). soundcloud.com/kalvos/softeni…

Good morning! My "Winter" symphony fundraiser is coming along with all your help. 2/3 of contributions have come from fellow composers & former students, so this morning I'm reaching out to my other 4,500 friends across social media to join in. Thank you! gofundme.com/f/bring-the-ma…

@SalemLola @TheCriticMag And free on academia.edu if you just want a copy to read on the screen.

@SalemLola @TheCriticMag If you're looking for short and fun (yeah, tons of gaps, but its 100 pages), there's mine: amazon.com/Whaaaaaaaaat-C…

The Shortest History of Music illustrates what's been going wrong in musicology for some time. Biased narratives, partial and weak examples, mishandling of the canon, unconvincing prose. Don't put the volume in Christmas stockings! ✍️ for @TheCriticMag thecritic.co.uk/issues/decembe…

@SalemLola @TheCriticMag it's

@arvofart @marzipanlord I think Bil turned being a disaffected composer into parody. As Two-Ell-Bill, he's actually got music credentials and seems to have made a bunch of money coming up with brand names.

@marzipanlord Lmaooo fond memories. I remember when a certain regular poster accused me of hating aleatory because I said it wasn’t worth taking Bil Smith seriously, because it’s a parody account

Back when I used to admin a Facebook group for musicians, I made a mild joke about how every soprano takes headshots in front of the same brick wall and people yelled at me about it for like three days

@LizbethFriedman Thank you! And yes, please, friends. We've got 72% to go. Every few dollars helps.

It's a week after Giving Tuesday. Things have gone idle; everybody's stressed. But my "Winter" Symphony No. 4 project needs a boost. The fundraising page is updated to include a demo version of the music. Your gift would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! gofundme.com/f/bring-the-ma…

@MatLeeKnowles Oh yeah? soundcloud.com/kalvos/the-moon

I listen to Soundcloud when composing and I'm always composing SO... I need more music! Please post your links here! 🥳

@soychotic I started my elementary school students on the OSI Challenger 2P. Predates Mac and Windows. Please don't @ me. I'm old, and they're all in their 40s now.

Can someone do a correlation study on kids who were started with mac computers versus windows pcs and tech illiteracy or even just general problem solving skills because I have a Hypothesis

@gggirl924 My daddy was a meatcutter. He looked just like that in a store in Plainfield, New Jersey.

We had a privately owned, grocery store called, EatMore, where we shopped. They had a meat department just like this. Did your grocery store have a meat department?

@NobPeck jack dream of tilly please visit

@MusicOfLee Thanks. Originally a kids' piece for the Green Mountain Youth Symphony. I expanded length & orchestration when they decided to play with a New Hampshire group for a celebratory event. The conductor of the Champlain Philharmonic thought it would be great for his diverse concert.

@bathorykitsz I really like this! I tend to really enjoy just how "complex" and involved the textures can get in minimalist music just by layering very simple, repeated patterns.

While this place is constantly declining, there are still a lot of great musicians and composers on here! Let's get a bit of a reprieve from the gloom here and share our music! I could use some cool stuff to listen to today.

It's Giving Tuesday. So many causes are more important than mine, but I'd still be grateful for a small contribution. Thank you! gofundme.com/f/bring-the-ma…

It would be a good feeling for a fraction (say, 10%) of my X (okay, Twitter) followers if they contributed to my project. I've given the little that I could afford to 23 GoFundMe creative projects over the years, and, yes, it's a good feeling. Thanks!
