Ireland6 months ago - metaphysics
Content could just as well be music from the alleged "classical/tonal" era, chock full of metaphysics of music as emotion, as expression of compositorial intent, the myth of the performers' sweaty brow. Massively irritating, including the "patriotic" undercurrent. Defnitely non-contemporary. New Music is fallaciously given as "composed in contemporary times". Maddening, really.
