Gareth Burgess wrote a blog entry: Funny music: an incomplete survey

3 hour(s) ago

The subject of humour in music is one that has been much on my mind recently for some reason. The variety of musical jokes is as interesting as it is wide, so let’s take a very cursory look at some choice examples.As a rule, I suspect, newer...

Michael White wrote a blog entry: Maciejewski's Requiem: the white elephant we all feared

In music as in most things, the biggest fall hardest. And while the fall of the Maciejewski Requiem the other night at Westminster Cathedral was cushioned by a supportive audience (half of whom seemed to be from the composer’s Polish homeland)...

Peter Tregear posted a comment on Chair of Palaeography at King's College, London under threat.:

Bad times indeed to be in the academic profession--but how do we justify funding such niche areas of expertise when our Universities are under such financial stress? Private Philanthropy, perhaps? At least then the argument would simply be--how can we convince people outside the musicological profession (i.e. rich people) that what they do is inherently worth supporting? If we can't, then perhaps this fate is inevitable, and what we are witnessing is not so much an act of cultural barbarism, as an historical shift in educational priorities.

Peter Tregear posted a comment on The Choir of Clare College Cambridge is banned from visiting the Palestinian Territories.:

Thanks, John--I appreciate your comments. This is clearly a difficult issue, to say the least--which is why I suspect MusBook.com thought it newsworthy, but I accept that getting the language right is very tricky. Whether a cultural ban in itself 'undermines the legitimacy of Israel' or not, is a moot point. I am old enough to remember the protests at a similar level (cultural & sporting) against South Africa, and I don't recall them being conceived in terms of denying South Africa's right to exist, rather they were a protest against policies of the then SA Government. Whether a comparison between Apartheid SA and Israel is fair or just, I'll leave to others (and other websites!) to decide--but there is clearly an ongoing debate underway on this point as well, as witness by the recent comments by former Prime Minister of Israel, Eruh Barak. See, for instance: http://www.5tjt.com/news/read.asp?Id=5836.
