		<title>Is it Debussy or an English period drama soundtrack?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time for everybody&#8217;s favorite game, &#8220;Is it Debussy or an English period drama soundtrack?&#8221; in which you, the listener, have to decide of the following excerpt is a) the anonymous soundtrack to a BBC period drama or b) an obscure vocal work by a famous French composer? If you guessed (a), you, my friend, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rewatching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you guys checked out my friend Will&#8217;s new podcast?  You should!  It&#8217;s called The Great Debasers [which may or may not be a song lyric] and the premise is Will and his friend Jeremy re-watch movies that they originally saw in their teens and then talk about where they were when they first saw [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on dynamics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dynamics in a score are like the camera angles written in a film script – they can only suggest the physical sound, much as a script can only suggest how the final picture will look. Conductors and musicians are like cinematographers with hundreds of lenses, lights, and filters at their disposal. Crescendi and diminuendi are [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Dynamics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dynamics are really a blunt set of tools composers have to shape and shade what is supposed to be the most ethereal of art forms.  Most of us regularly use about eight markings: ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, and fff.  Brahms made a valiant effort with pf (poco forte) but it never really [...]]]></description>

		<title>I would much rather</title>
		<description><![CDATA[listen to a short piece of music in which every moment has been crafted by the composer to add to the overall narrative/design/emotional content of the piece, rather than a long piece interlarded with &#8220;filler&#8221; used to pad the dimensions of the piece with pretensions towards grandiosity/seriousness/weight. Shostakovich, I am looking squarely in your direction.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>New SCHNITTKE Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An e-mail appeared this morning from my friend Dash: Ahoy there Will, In an act of Schnittkey solidarity, I thought I might forward on a painting I commissioned from my brother of our mutual musical hero. It&#8217;s of the fine-street-art persuasion. Attached. I hope you like it! Dashiellll &#8220;Einsicht&#8221; from The Commissar Dash&#8217;s brother turns [...]]]></description>

		<title>«in vain»</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the (strangely unlisted) video that got me going down this rabbit hole: &#8220;Most of it sounds like simply nothing else at all,&#8221; quoth Sir Simon.  Now my curiosity was piqued.  Could this Haas fellow truly have created such a novelty?  Such statement must compel me (and all other snobs musicals) to find in every [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boar’s Head</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you all heard of this thing called &#8220;The Boar&#8217;s Head Festival&#8221;, not to be confused with the deli meats?  &#8216;Twas begun in Oxford in 1340, and apparently it&#8217;s so very English that I hadn&#8217;t come across it, but lo and behold it&#8217;s a big deal at Christ Church Cathedral in Cincinnati, and I was [...]]]></description>
