Perhaps I should be grateful that nobody is really arguing with what I’ve written…

]]> Comment on What Went Wrong? Part Two by gloria coates http://nimmomusic.com/wp/http:/nimmomusic.com/wp/minimalistme/2009/what-went-wrong-part-two#comment-96 gloria coates Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:33:24 +0000 http://nimmomusic.com/wp/?p=74#comment-96 I never attempted to write a symphony and would give my orchestral works titles that I would change..sometimes structural and sometimes general thematic. It was not until I reached No.7 that I could find no title for it ... I had used 53 instruments and it seemed too heavy for a pictoral name or structural title....It was then I decided it must be a symphony. Then I thought about many of the orchestral works that I had to keep changing the titles and that were 3 or more movements...and decided those with indefinite names could perhaps be symphonies too. Thus I numbered those that qualified up to the one that I decided had to be a symphony. Then Dr. Giselher Schubert, director of the Hindemith Institute and one of the foremost musicologists in Germany was asked to write the liner notes for my symphony CD by the artistic director of CPO. I sent him the scores for Symphonies 1, 7 and 4 for analysis. He confirmed them as true symphonies as did other German musicologists. Dr. Schubert used the definition of Mahler to verify mine which is on the liner notes of CPO. The definition of a symphony in the "serious" sense has different structures today and varying structures, but it must contain a certain kind of depth that touches the listener. How can a composer know that he has done this today? Perhaps he has gone to regions within himself which are easier to reach by an introvert. I do not know myself, except that for me to write a symphony takes a great amount of energy and concentration that goes beyond my normal state of being. I hope this is helpful.
