That's what we call 'Jazz'
All I'm going to say is that Britney Spears is quite popular. You judge for yourself.

Bill McLaughlin*, host of the NPR radio program Saint Paul Sunday, also discussed the use of "classical music." He allowed as how he couldn't really come up with a better term, and that the canon hi mav! is established mainly by those-who-determine-what-their-orchestras/choruses-will-play/sing-each-year worldwide.
So I guess we gotta include John Cage.

Well, it looked good to me but he seems to have a nextra G in it. It's McGlaughlin.

Have any of y'all heard that Britney Spears is Burning Spear's half sister?

Could it be the name has a trace of the Irish spelling!

These names suffer great indignities when manhandled by the Sassenach. See Maguire, McGwire, McWire, McGuire, etc.

" Maguire, McGwire, McWire, McGuire, etc."
Those spellings were self-inflicted. Of the many Sassenach crimes, this was not one.

What a fascinating introduction to this Message Board this thread has been! I have nothing to offer on the topic under discussion, except this:
The National Arts Center of Canada has made available for download in MP3 format Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C Major. I don't know whether it's Classical, Romantic, or just old, but it sounds nice. The link is

I have to agree, rather grudgingly, with mav. In a conversational context, "classical" music is a useful generalisation - as, indeed, is "popular" music. The latter includes a whole corpus of work that is only "popular" with relatively small groups of people. I have heard punk referred to as "popular" music in the same sort of context as Chopin is referred to as "classical." Both terms are, strictly speaking, incorrect, but within a general context, it does serve a purpose. It doesn't stop it from getting on my ears, though! Come on, musick, lets go into the corner and talk Early Baroque!

You never cease to amaze me with the depths to which you are prepared to plummet, mav.  I thought I had better get that in before anyone else protests - as you know, it is the Early Byrd who Ave Verum for breakfast.

If you keep some 'Ives, you night eventually sell the honey (or you could Munch it yourself!)
