Setting the aside the point that my username doesn’t have anything to do with my music tastes, I’ll say that songs like Chic’s “Everybody Dance” and “Strike Up the Band” ARE American classical music as far as I’m concerned. They explicitly place themselves in the lineage of Gershwin, Kern, and Duke Ellington and I’d even argue that in the 1970s you could draw a connection between Chic and the concurrent appearance of the minimalism of Reich and Glass.  So yes Chic, with its very American mixture of highbrow and gritty urban lowbrow, is obviously more up my alley than ABBA :) 

 

Either way, Walter Piston continues to be a particular obsession of mine!

Life and laziness has kept me from doing as many score videos as I'd like, but I have done another Piston video since I last posted here, for his 4th string quartet:
