Since I have been posting articles on the Viewfinder I occasionally have
had a problem classifying some music. Does it belong in the category of
classical, jazz, musical, film soundtrack, etc.? I have tried to do the best I
can, not always with the greatest success.
Today I came across an article on the Boston Symphony Orchestra site and discovered Ricky O'Bannon addressed this problem in 2016 (link below).
It's
a brilliant article done with a dash of humor that posits interesting alternatives; the one I
like best is "Composed Music". I have used that term for the section, "Classical Music." Thanks, Ricky!
As I said, it's a great article, nicely written and well worth
reading even if you don't give a fig WHAT the hell it's called. As Aretha Franklin sang, A Rose Is Still a Rose.
