sERIOUS COMPOSERS AND MUSICAINS MUST FIND WAYS TO ENGAGE YOUNGER AUDIENCES :this is agreed upon by everyone. the question is how. If Bach and many before and after can take a popular tune (Goldberg aria) of the common historically uneducated people- so should Mark-Anthony Turnage . This is admirably done!

I don't care for Beyonce's music but I like Mark Anthony-Turnage, and this mental orchestra's tight playing is fantastic!

[@topologyrob]

If you like this piece, you like Beyonce's music, since it is just a cover version of Beyonce's song (which of course was based on earlier songs and dances itself)

[@markpaterson2053]

@@topologyrob Sorry, really don't like Beyonce's music; this sounds different to that song my friend tried to get me into, better in every way.

[@topologyrob]

@@markpaterson2053 it’s just an arrangement - that is very obvious

[@markpaterson2053]

Er no, have you actually compared them? Mark-Anthony Turnage has a great skill in...ah, what's the point? If you're a Beyouncy fan I doubt we'll ever see eye to eye. Nothing against her, I simply disagree 1000% and think Turnage sounds great, Beyoncy sounds pop whatever

[@topologyrob]

@@markpaterson2053 Yes, I've compared them and it's obvious that Turnage's arrangement is just an arrangement, so you're only discussing the music of Beyonce here - Turnage's contribution is only to make an arrangement. Can you really not hear that? Are you only hearing the most superficial features?
