Well, Just for a few chuckles:
It's good to read some coverage on concert music in the campus paper, but
the style and terminology just looks odd. I am also not sure what to make
of the quoted (assume it's verbatim) comment from the music student. It
just underlines the artificial antithesis between the two. The mindset is
so locked up.
The following is an excerpt from yesterday's school paper on the front page:
Perlman performed here on Saturday night and this is a "Division I"
state university:
Perlman performed selections written between the 18th and 20th
centuries by composers such as Beethoven, Leclair and Gershwin.
Although many of the songs were old, <a violin-major sophomore> said
the classical selections were no less wonderful than contemporary
music. "It has so much emotion," she said, explaining her admiration
for classical music. "Many of the composers were writing about
sadness and pain. I know rock music is popular, and that may just be
because there are lyrics. With classical music, the notes speak for
themselves."
