[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 8125871, member: 945"] Wow, ok. I would like to get something of Lili Boulanger. I'll definitely have to look into that one. Her name comes up so often, but mostly as just references to her being a teacher. edit: Ok, I'm thinking Nadia. Shame Lili died so young. Still might be worth looking into. I do like Rautavaara, and I do have his Cantus Arcticus. It's quite nice. I haven't come across his stuff in a while, so I might have to give him another look. I have Ballet Mechanique, and find it novel. I might have to look into your suggestion there. I think have some things by Rorem, but nothing ever spoke to me. Gonna take me a while to parse through the rest of that. Thanks for the recommendations! And who are you to meet Jennifer Higdon, or to have an opportunity to meet George Crumb? Closest I ever got was asking Philip Glass a question at one of his performances years ago.
