  • I thought he was dead

  • @lovesGenet Americans live in a magic show where they arrogantly don't need to understand anything, or get into forms of art which have any whiff of the unfamiliar. Hence the "Elitist" charge of the TEA Party against us liberals.

  • if the damn tickets didn't cost so much maybe more people would try to find what Lutoslawski ,boulez ,Stravinsky or at least the harmony old fashioned stuff of Les six or Rachmaninoff. There are ways to get peeps into great music.Outdoors would help.I think the powers that be wanna keep us niggers dumb.Sciarrino has just opened up a whole new world of composition but what do u fooking learn in American schools.I taught english for a while&poorest nations in da world have better education.

  • "like fractals"...

  • i was in CFC last year and i had to sing this song too!! for al of my cfc buddies in youtube land this is amanda. i hated learning this song because of how long it was and how repetitive it was... but in the end it was amazing! if you ever have to sing this i feel for you LOL

  • In all actuality, he's right. There's still MASS genocides happening all over the world, and we hang onto this attack like it was the "end all. be all" of the world. I do agree, that his honesty is to be commended.

  • I know this Guy. Anybody in CFC out there this is Connor. That was such a tough piece. I've never counted so much more in my life! Not even in Math... If anybody does this piece i will pray for you because it sound really good once you get past all the emotion and rhythm it is really truly powerful and just wonderful to sing. Put that on your resume.

  • heyy anybody else watching this in cfc??
