180 hours

We were in a 20th c kinda mood for show #60, so we brought it hard.  The Branca sounded like it had been hijacked by Korn; the Ligeti by Cage.  And the Pärt was a liberal departure from the max 'n' relax sound we identify with him.  The York Bowen evoked a Brahms composing in 1945.

I caught the 2nd half hour of the first hour. I believe that was the Arensky. So now I know a new name and have some idea of what he did. But I am of advanced years and one day later could not describe it, but have a recollection of it being OK.

So please keep at it, and after this semester try to get a time slot at least one hour earlier,
before Mom sends me to bed.
