En in New York overleed de Amerikaanse componist Ned Rorem.
Op diens Violin Concerto (1985, supra) zie je schilderijen van Thomas Hart Benton. Ik vind dat prachtig werk.

RIP Azio Corghi (1937 – 2022)
In Italië stierf de componist Azio Corghi.
Als ik aan naoorlogse klassieke muziek denk, dan komen afbeeldingen van platenhoezen in mij op. Die zijn vaak erg mooi.
Op de YouTubestroom van dit stuk Consonancias y Redobles (1973) van Corghi wordt Augustus Light (1957) van Hans Hofmann getoond.
RIP Louis Andriessen (1939 – 2021)
Louis Andriessen was a Dutch composer, together with Dick Raaymakers, one of the most important ones of The Netherlands.
I give you De Staat, named after De Staat (Dutch title of The Republic by Plato).
RIP Louis Clark (1947 – 2021)
Louis Clark was an English music arranger and keyboard player, best-known for his series of kitsch masterpieces Hooked on Classics, disco-reinterpretations of classical music.
