PLEASE ask The Boston Globe for a job; you can replace their reviewer, who may not even have attended Saturday's concert (based on his useless commentary).

Perhaps I should revise my statement that it's only the context that makes a chord special, because there are some that stand on their own after all... still, getting there is half the fun! Everyone should be sure to read Mary's essay on the Schnittke Concerto at the Cantata Singers blog: "<a href="http://cantatasingers.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/going-toward-the-light-shadow-sounds-in-schnittkes-concerto-for-mixed-voices/" rel="nofollow">Going Toward the Light: Shadow-Sounds in Schnittke’s Concerto for Mixed Chorus</a>." Great analysis and historical detail. :) Thank you very much for your kind comment, Mary!

My mom and dad had an LP collection not unlike your parents' taste. I count among my influences Stephen Foster, The Tijuana Brass, and The Man from Lamancha. Heh. It's interesting - Scriabin was a composer very important to Schnittke, both shared an interest in theosophy; undoubtedly he knew of Scriabin's "mystic chord," or the "chord of pleroma," as Scriabin called it. I wonder if Procter's found the "lost chord" first? (-: In any case, I'm going to look in the Concerto for Mixed Chorus for the mystic chord.
