Contemporary Classical Composers - new discoveries

Certainly beautiful if not sublime...

This is so certainly beautiful if not sublime...

I performed of Maria Newman's choral work premieres at the Los Angeles Cathedral of the Lady of the Angels in 2018 with a chorus of about 100.  It is unfortunate it was not recorded and the acoustics were terrible (two secord reverb at the back of the huge church).  She has written so much beautiful music. 

As to Anna Clyne's cello work is very nice.

As to Takamitsu, I can listen to the shorter works but I won't spend an hour listening to what to me is sophisticated ramblings.  Maybe others will appreciate it more.   

Music as a spiritual experience is not always received in the same way by all people on all their paths.

Music is a galaxy if not a cosmos where any orbits define specific consciousness levels. Music is not reducible to taste.

Taste there is yes, but music is not about tastes.

It is about consciousness levels and there exist many mansions in the father realm said someone wiser than me.

Consciousness levels can not only be higher or lower compared to one another, they can be parallels. they even could be diverging and reconverging roads.

For me music is visible and invisible geometry.

Music is from the heart but even the heart has his own very precise geometry...I posted a video about the heart geometry and music in  the thread about sound and mystical experience .

@mahgister I just heard several of the first posts, long dead Armenian composer, Persian song and Feinberg (I already have the Feinberg recording).  All great, especially the Armenian choir.  I read your Pop music interest.  For me, I'm in love with 20th century pop music, 1900 to 1970 and then less so thereafter (my wife enjoys heavy metal up to Led Zeppelin-sounds great in my listening room but I'm not crazy about it).  My pop music extends back to 1900+ dixieland, blues and tin pan alley and nearly all jazz periods including modern compositions (post bop, rock/jazz and country if pre-1960s) and especially close to my heart, Yiddish song.  I have equally eclectic tastes.   Through jazz, I am still discovering new interpretations of classic pop songs both vocal and mostly instrumental.
