Message-ID: <462@pyuxn.UUCP> Date: Mon, 13-Feb-84 16:04:06 EST Article-I.D.: pyuxn.462 Posted: Mon Feb 13 16:04:06 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 15-Feb-84 04:57:25 EST References: <454@pyuxn.UUCP> <557@bbncca.ARPA>, <458@pyuxn.UUCP> <115@whuxj.UUCP> Organization: Central Services Org., Piscataway N.J. Lines: 12 What's really interesting about this "debate" is that in my original article I never identified "Mass" as the piece in question, yet everyone who pounced knew exactly which piece I was referring to. Again, the point was not whether or not "Mass" was a rock opera, but rather the fact that some bozo could easily pigeonhole a piece of music into any category he/she desires. I guess we'd have to continue this discussion in three or four newsgroups if some people had their way. Next week: Aaron Copland's music discussed in net.music.country -- Pardon me for breathing...
