It lends itself very effectively to right-brain endeavors such as drawing,

good friends in a dark room with incense burning.  I will dub your copy onto an

I have a Schreiber und Sohne bassoon for sale, used, asking $1000. New
Schreibers cost about $2K. This is an excellent student instrument,
but probably not satisfactory for a professional. Some reed-making
tools (mandrel, knives) are included.

Hmmm.  I just realized that I'm one of two known vegetarians in an
Internal Medicine department of about 500 people.  But every time I've
worked at a computer music center, vegetarians have been a very
steady 12 to 15% presence, and a vocal presence at food gatherings...

Maybe musicians--especially composers-- care more for their OWN
health, or for world economics, or for humane treatment of animals,
than health-care providers?  Or maybe musicians just have more refined
tastes in food as well as in music?

This bit of unresearched sociology---or maybe its purely accident or
folklore---seems like it might make a good research topic for somebody
out there.  Or maybe just one of those random "gee whiz" ideas-of-the-week.

Hi !

Recently I heared about a project at the Berklee College of Music in Boston,
where foreign students can receive a scholarship for a year, 
I think, to study composition there in Boston.

So I had the idea if there are any other similar projects in the USA.

So I'm looking for all universities/colleges etc. where you can, as a foreign 
student (I'm from Germany), get a scholarship for making studies in 
composition (contemporary music).

I don't have a very exact idea of what I'm looking for as I don't know which
possibilities exists in the United States for a foreign student to study
composition (and a scholarship wouldn't be bad, of course ;-).

If you can give me *any* hints or know some more precise facts about this
project at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, please post
or mail it to me.

Thank you very much in advance,
Stefan

Some of my favorite modulations are very quick, often not requiring
the use of an intermediate chord, like I -> iii (or III) or i -> bIII
(which is, in actuality, just going to the relative major - you could
just as well do I -> vi, as I think you mentioned in your original post).
Granted these might not fit in with the genre you're working with.
Jazz tends to lend itself to fast chord changes and modulations which
don't work in other contexts.

	I used to favor the Shaeffer Calligraphy pens, but I had a problem 
with them clogging too frequently. I have since moved to Speedball pens.
They are a quill style pen, you dip the tip into an inkwell, but I found that 
I can draw more with the ink held in the tip of one of those than I could 
before I had to unclog the Shaeffer.

	As important is the paper and the ink. I have settled upon "Delikan
Tinte --Gunther Wagner" brand ink (I'm not sure which is really the brand
name of the product, sorry) and Alpheus Music brand paper. For pencil I like
Archives brand paper, but for pen and ink the its graininess makes my 
noteheads furry.

You're right.

I DID NOT flame because I deemed it 'too elementary'.  I did because
a question regarding 300-or-so-year old theory has '"Modern" <chuckle>
theory question' as a subject line.  Because the author, in what I
thought looked like a bit of computer-whizzkid slang, called it
proudly a 'nifty trick' he had discovered.  Because it looked to me
like a genuinely funny satiric flame-drawer by someone who wanted
to poke fun at the naivite of a lot of videogame music.  Reading
subsequent postings on brownie recipes it seems I am not the only one.

In my enthusiasm for a good joke I paid no more than lip service to
the possibility that the question might be serious.  This is my
mistake, and I regret it.  I sorted it out with the author through
e-mail (where this really belongs), and posted a few lines to this
group (same thread).  Apparently, this didn't register, so here it
goes.

It has never been and will never be my intention to flame a serious
question, no matter how elementary.  It was a very stupid thing to
do and I know now why netiquette has to be adhered to.  I feel
genuinely sorry for it.  Now please let that be the end of it, it's
not worth the bandwidth.

"Chord of the fourth" is an obsolete term for a second-inversion triad, e.g.
a bass note, a note 4 steps higher, and a note 3 steps above that.
The middle note is treated as the "root", and would be the bass note in the

Funny but YOU seem like the fool to me.  You obviously know better
than to post this garbage, but you did it anyway.  There's nothing
wrong with naive postings, as long as they're pertinent to the
group, as the aforementioned article was.  It seems tough to be more
tactless than to flame a naive posting.

----I think this can all be traced back to me; the first real
response to the original article, and I'd like to quickly state my
problems with the original article, that do pertain, at least
tangentially to music composition.
	While the prime article was 'naive', the author assumed an
air of pretension; self-aggrandizing and Claiming expertise.
Possibly this was a joke, but after rereading I still couldn't get
that sense. I haven't felt like this group has been self-inflated,
argumentative for sure, but never ego-run, and that is reassuring.
In my limited travels, and through stories I've heard, it seems that
the inflated ego is perhaps the most prevalent and dangerous aspect
of composition... As in most arts, the author can claim sole
responsibility for the work, and becomes fertile ground for swelling
head.. I personally find art a responsibility geared towards the
propagation of understanding (whatever form it takes) that becomes
much bigger and more important than the one composer. 
	To leave with an incomplete thought, I welcome any humble
replies on a question of compositional humility.

It's kind of lifted from the Brahms Academic Festival Overture, which is a
good source for lots of nifty modulations. I would suggest checking out
Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Wagner, and Prokofiev for some more choice 
modulation tricks. Try to play along to recordings if you can't get/read
the scores. I also like some of the modulations on Genesis records around 
1973-6 and on Mike Oldfield's records (try "Amarok" or "Five Miles Out").
