If you have been following the thread about which pieces of music to discuss here and at flos carmeli, you will know that I came perilously close to agreeing to start with Claude Debussy. I backed out, because I think the readers will be better served with a piece of pre-Tonal music. So, I will be hitting my early music library to find a piece. We will get to Debussy, since he is important and has significant links to the other arts, but to jump in and discuss post-Tonal structures without looking at some Medieval polyphony, Renaissance polyphony, tonalism, late Romanticism, well, it would be tough. So we will discuss something like Machaut or de Vitry or Perotin or Leonin or something of that nature.

Meanwhile, it is a beautiful day, and I recommend Joao Afonso's Zanzibar, which I reviewed here.
