Excerpt:The Delian Society The Delian Society , conceived by American composer Joseph Dillon Ford , was founded on 23 January 2004 as an international community of composers , performers , scholars , recording engineers , music publishers , and amateurs dedicated to the revitalization of the great tonal traditions in art music . The Society takes its name from the Greek Island of Delos , legendary birthplace of Apollo , god of music and light . Among the composers and artists holding membership in the Delian Society are the following: The members of the Delian Society are committed to the creation, performance, study, and worldwide dissemination of new tonal art music in various forms and styles; collaborative support of artists working in other media who revisit and revalidate the great pre-modernist traditions of their respective disciplines; acknowledgement of outstanding contributions to tonal music through a noncompetitive awards program; and publication of relevant articles, reviews, program notes, and other writings.

Excerpt: Richard Gavin Bryars (born 16 January 1943) is an English composer and double bassist. He has been active in, or has produced works in, a variety of styles of music, including jazz, free improvisation, minimalism, historicism, experimental music, avant-garde and neoclassicism. Born in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, Bryars initially studied philosophy at Sheffield University before studying music for three years. The first musical work for which he is remembered was his role as bassist in the trio Joseph Holbrooke, alongside guitarist Derek Bailey and drummer Tony Oxley. The trio began by playing relatively traditional jazz before moving into free improvisation. However, Bryars became dissatisfied with this when he saw a young bassist (later revealed to be Johnny Dyani) play in a manner which seemed to him to be artificial, and he became interested in composition instead. Bryars's first works as a composer owe much to the so-called New York School of John Cage (with whom he briefly studied), Morton Feldman, Earle Brown and minimalism. One of his earliest pieces, The Sinking of the Titanic (1969), is an indeterminist work which allows the performers to take a number of sound sources related to the sinking of the RMS Titanic and make them into a piece of music. The first recording of this piece appeared on Brian Eno's Obscure Records in 1975. The 1994 recording of this piece was remixed by Aphex Twin as Raising the Titanic (later collected on the 26 Mixes for Cash album). A well known early work is Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971), which has as its basis a recorded loop of a homeless person...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=177823 ... Read more
