Sleepy

I don't really care because so much time has elapsed and I have several grandchildren now but, as I said, I've been on another US board for over 10 years. I'm merely trying to explain TO YOU why this board is all but dead, and that trolling is now illegal in many jurisdictions. Actions. Consequences. You might think the board is run well but nobody posts here so it's like waiting for Godot!! When you turn away good people over time there's an opportunity cost. If you enjoy it, then good for you.

I'm putting it out there about your lack of interest here at the BRS - and this is not something which is a feature of the one I'm currently enjoying, which is busy and active all the time, with about 25 members all up. For that number the activity is way above the usual. I've learned a lot from those folks, and had some political arguments. Some are Juilliard graduates, some active musicians but most are fervent collectors and concert-goers. Some have died in the last years but the remaining regulars are undaunted. I enjoy the challenge of often very intensive technical music discussions, something you wouldn't get here in a million years. I don't intend to post but merely came today to explain why the sound of crickets is pervasive at the BRS.

Cheers.

Ditto for the reason given above. Anyway, back to Beethoven...

Isn't the sound of crickets prevalent in Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children?

You're absolutely right, Sorrano.

My memory is a bit faulty, but it seems I recall that George Crumb did visit BYU while I was there. Ancient Voices of Children was my introduction to his music and to this day certain fragments stick in my head.
