Egads, you're correct ... that was the 20th Century. How quickly we forget. Yes, in addition to my composition, I, of course, had to write an analysis of it ... about 40 pages, but it was just text with a few musical examples ... easy by comparison to the score work.

My Master's thesis was 130 pages.

My wife retyped it (at least we had an electric typewriter ;-) totally about 8 times to get all of the various corrections into it.

Actually, it WAS another century ;-)

I know what public school music has done for me. I have witnessed the journey it has provided my daughter and hundreds of other students I have been fortunate enough to teach. I am both amazed and outraged that there are those who would knowingly disenfranchise generations of humans by excising the practice and inculcation of an entire heritage from our children’s curricula.
