Mexican? (hmmmm, maybe it's Shap! :lol:

) picturing Shap with his sombrero and big 'stache picture

I'll be off partying soon until tomorrow. Here's a summary of the first 10 questions.

The composer is not Scottish, European, US American, South American, Female nor a minimalist.

The piece was composed in the 20th century but the composer was born in the 19th century. The piece did not come out between 1912-1916 and it does have vocals.

11. Mexican composer? YES

( I was unaware Shap was Mexican. Where did he get the sombrero? Does he have an El Kabong alter-ego?)

Is it in D minor?

Shap isn't Mexican, at least to my knowledge.

Give me sometime and I'll ponce...er...pounce on the answer.

I've searched, and searched, but I can barely get any info on his works.

On whose works? We haven't named the composer yet.

Is it Julián Carrillo?

by **Serenity** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 2:16 pm

16. Is it Julian Carrillo? NO

but I was reading his bio on wikipedia and he's astounding. He got nominated for a Nobel Prize in Physics and he didn't even finish primary school.

Me, too. So many people go unnoticed.

Did you read about the Thirteenth Sound Theory? I'm curious as to what his compositions sound like now. He designed and had instruments made based on the theory. I'll have to track one down; maybe Stokowski's performance of Carillo's Horizons Symphonic Poem for Violin, Cello and Harp in Quarter, Eighth and Sixteenth-Tones. Or maybe we can put a request to have it played on B.com :wink:
