Abstract

Music
Haggin, B. H. | November 17, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

In every period most of the music is written by composers with the ability to put sounds together but unable to give those sounds the impress of an originally creative mind. The Swiss composer Frank Martin's "The Tempest," the German composer Carl Orff's "The Moon," the American composer Carlisle Floyd's "Suscninak" are, in their different ways, music of that kind, in which the author heard nothing that deserved the public's attention, and nothing, therefore, that justified their having been produced by the New York City Opera at a cost which presumably contributed to the company's financial difficulties.
