Retrospective
I have just spent an enjoyable half hour reading some of Unbillable Hours' back issues. I liked his observations about film music: as far as I can tell, the movies are all that is keeping classical music alive. Not that there isn't an audience for museum pieces, but the traditional sources of support for classical composers -- other than films -- mostly seem to have dried up by the beginning of the twentieth century. Most new orchestral music seems to be written for the movies.
