Hey all! I just copyedited a college textbook on the history of Western music that reproduced this score in full. Fits neatly on a page!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:57pm
weinstein:

Cool. I thought it would be interesting to see it while listening.

Good afternoon David, Ruth, and listeners. Another favorite show seems to be coming
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:02pm
listener james from westwood:

The book actually comes with either a CD or a web link to samples or whole pieces, including this one, so the students will get that same benefit!

Hey Fred! Enjoy!

Glad to have you all in for this one!

fred:

Hi geezerette! I just got the latest Juliana Hatfield record, and she seems to share your appreciation for the orange one, based on some track titles: "when you're a star", "Kellyanne", or "short-fingered man". I haven't listened to it yet, but I doubt the last one is flattering

Love this In C (Mantra)

I thought I should cut to the chase and favorite the whole show already

Some things are prettiest unpolished. And that naughty bass player!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:18pm
weinstein:

Thanks, Fred. I'm trying to control my unbridled passion for this piece, what it means to me.
Avatar 3:19pm
geezerette:

"Short-fingered Man", that's hilarious,Fred!
I'm actually drawing him now. Choosing ridicule over anger. Can't wait to hear that album.

Absolutely LOVE this!

and it's making me laugh.

from Quebec:

love this version. Besides Boudreau the other well-known member of this ensemble is Raôul Duguay. Here's his "big hit" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuOScxcmqNo
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:24pm
weinstein:

Thanks, Quebec. I've long wondered what this scene was really like. They could be either liberated academics or dedicated stoners.

@geezerette: she put the lyrics on her bandcamp, I don't think he'd like them much: julianahatfield.bandcamp.com...

Love the electronic, hazy sound they get (acoustically, I presume?)
  3:28pm
from Quebec:

yes, or both!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:29pm
weinstein:

It's recorded more like a rock band than a classical ensemble.
Avatar 3:30pm
geezerette:

Fred, she nailed him! He's especially repulsive to women.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
fred:

What I love about In C is that it can be played by any kind of ensemble, and even though I know it's In C quickly, I still don't know how it will unfold. A different kind of balance between improvisation and written down music
Avatar 3:32pm
geezerette:

David,exactly! The spirit of the times is absolutely encoded in it. Very Sargeant Pepper and that's a complement. Disciplined anarchy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
weinstein:

I love how badly it can be roughed up and still succeed, but also how cool it is when you follow the rules exactly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
northguineahills:

Dig this version....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:36pm
fred:

Speeking of rock bands, I like Acid Mothers Temple's version. Which isn't saying much, because I liked all the versions I've heard (that's why I don't want to hear the Ensemble Intercontemporain play it. They could fumble this)

Terry Riley is another person from whom I'm one degree of separation, owing to my oft-lauded uncle.

How cool!
Avatar 3:47pm

Craig was so proud of that! And he was just a kid then. He really loved Jazz, and he was probably a genius but he was just a guy.

@Fred, I understand, it is possible to ruin anything if you are narrow enough.

Groovy, UM!

OK, I'm catching up on this Uncle Michael gossip.... the guy started Other Minds too with Amirkhanian. Cool lineage...
Avatar 3:51pm
geezerette:

UM, seriously, I'm stunned! So happy!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
Uncle Michael:

I'll have to ask Jim if Craig was part of the carload that, along with Doug's friend, drove up to Toronto for the Massey Hall concert.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:53pm
Uncle Michael:

Yeah, David. I actually made it out to OM once before Jim transitioned to Emeritus status.
Avatar 3:55pm
geezerette:

That would be great to know. Never heard that story.

Other Minds,wow.
Avatar 3:59pm
geezerette:

David, so interesting, this is completely different.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:00pm
Uncle Michael:

One of my uncle's Oberlin jazz friends back in '53 or so was a townie, not a student. He was part of a road trip to go see Parker at Massey Hall. 30 years later, Doug put that guy on the air at Oberlin...gave him a show.

Riley's in a film Jim made about Pandit Pran Nath.

This is as lovely an "In C" as I've ever heard.

Really,UM, you are insanely lucky to come from a family like that.
Wonderful.

Thanks, but Jim's as much family "like that" as I've got. He's unique.

listener james from westwood:

Indeed!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:12pm

I decided to put this show together because I was surprised how many Riley and In C fans I met didn't know these versions.
Avatar 4:12pm
geezerette:

Yes, I had a relative like that too. Know what you mean.

Yeah, this is gorgeous!

This one got quite a lot of airplay, but usually not in full. It does ignore some rules, but then again it was on Transgressive Records

Yeah, Fred. I can't keep up with the master, but I dare try on occasion.

I have this one, and of course love it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:32pm

I think this one, and the Darmstadt project folks annual, is what launched the ongoing fascination that continues to this day.

This mix does make it possible to pick out the individual modules better than most, and that is satisfying.

I saw bang on a can play in C in 2000 at BAM, t'was nice...

Occasionally you see concept versions (I won't say gimmicky) for all keyboards, all voices, all strings. Still works.

Thanks for this David. In a public posting i inadvertently attributed to Kurt, who had announced it. I'm glad he did! Also, when i turned this on my stereo, i already had it playing on my iphone. Since the latter was a touch ahead, there was a surround sound effect that seemed made for the recordings. I recommend it. Anyway, thanks again.
