Ian, CD is referring to near-centurion and still-active Elliott Carter.  Smiley

EC stands for the near-centenarian American composer Elliott Carter as well as for Eric Coates, Ian, though it has to be said that their music is rarely likely to appeal to the same listeners.

Sorry, this info was wrong.  The EC Composer of the Week programmes run from 24 to 28 December.

Au contraire, Ron. My anally-retentive CD collection has Carter and Coates as near-neighbours. Although the likes of Castelnuevo-Tedesco, Chabrier and Chopin do elbow them apart.

I think the only unappealing element could arise if one slipped a Carter into the CD player, expecting Coates to sound forth...  Shocked

PS: Gawain was glitch-free. Many, many thanks.

 I did say 'rarely', Stevo,! Wink

 (In my case they're on opposite sides of the room as American and British composers live in different units, so Coates would be between Clucas and Crosse were it not for the fact that I subdivide the British composers into 'mainstream' and 'newer', so that he's rubbing shoulders with Carwithen and Delius instead.)

Or of course the other way round.  Cool

In my case I think you'd see a fairly displeasured reaction if the expected Carter turned out to be Coates, but ... non est disputandum (as Ollie might say, if he was feeling brave with his Latin Wink).

That raises far more questions than it answers, Ron! Cheesy Is Carwithen really more mainstream than Crosse? Why does she get to live with Delius when the surely more Coates-ish Humphrey Clucas doesn't? When do you ever listen to all this music? Wink Roll Eyes

But mightn't EC also stand for Erik Chisholm? (said he, throwing his hat in to the ring while getting his coates)...

Best,

Alistair

Ah, you're dealing with an Aquarian here, tinners: you have to expect a certain amount of the unexpected or unusual logic: the main reason for the split goes back to the way the room is laid out: not all the British Composers fit together any more. So it's basically mainstream (as in deceased, by and large) and the quick in separate groups, though depending on available space, Clucas is one of those who's a moveable feast.

Don't worry, Ron. You should try and make sense of my CD collection some time! (Most of it's on the floor, which doesn't help.)

Chronological by composer's birthdate, that's what I say. Smiley

Er, yes, topic, sorry...  Undecided
