Contemporary classical music should strive to communicate the profundity of the shared human experience and stop wasting audiences' valuable time with what is supposedly called "important" music.
Weather the language be tonal or a-tonal, it should communicate through our shared knowledge and traditions experiences to enrich and fulfill our lives and stop the solipsistic rantings of academia and the cheesy wailings of commercialism, and get down to the honest truth, better than any other art form can:
The human condition is eventually about dealing with our own impermanence.
We seek eternity in moments. More often than not, we come to music for a
solution to this pain; we seek transformation.
Stop running composers and give us honesty, meaning and solace within which we can live our tragic and profoundly wonderful lives. Stop mucking about within your silly little brains and reach us! Audiences are longing for a voice to give us the music of our time.
