Dear Bacharach Enthusiasts,
I have recently uploaded one of my songs to myspace.com. The chorus of the song is a twelve-tone row. I know that Burt studied this compositional technique (which was developed by Arnold Schoenberg) while he was in school.
In my effort, I tried to make the row hummable (a la Bacharach). I wanted to create a composition that did not alienate average listeners, and was sophisticated at the same time (also, a la Bacharach!).
To hear the song, visit www.myspace.com/lairmonet and click on "Downtown Nowhere."
I would love to hear what other Bacharach fans think.
