... I've also noticed harmonic similarities between middle-to-late Hovhaness and Ralph Vaughn Williams. Early Hovhaness is Armenian-based, and late Hovhaness...
Learning Sanskrit isn't *such* an extreme step! Admittedly, it's quite difficult to begin with if you haven't learned an inflected language like Latin or...
One of the reasons why Holst learned Sanskrit was to get a feel for the texts he was using in some of his works. These works are in English, but there is...
According to the Glasgow University Library Website <http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/exhibns/month/sep2004.html> Holst did his own translations from the Sanskrit...

Thanks for the info about BBC- I'll definitely have to look into having it saved onto my computer. I also wanted to let you all know that I am presenting a...
I just joined this group because I like Alan Hovhaness' music. At the Hovhaness web site it mentioned that he was composing "world music" before it was...
As some time has passed since the original post, I was curious how the writing came out? As well, I am interested in any writings on Hovhaness' compositional...
Interesting questions, most of which I can't answer for sure. But that won' t stop me from commenting! ... No. But earlier (see archives) we learned that there...
I believe that Hovhaness named one of his daughters (was it Jean?) after Sibelius. I know that he went to Finland to meet the great Finnish composer. It is...

Although Hovhaness was undoubtedly very much aware of Sibelius, I doubt that Sibelius, who died in 1957, was much aware of Hovhaness. ... From: Robert Badger...
Actually, Hovhaness and Sibelius actually had met. I understand that Hovhaness went to meet the Finnish master at his estate in Jarvenpaa (sorry, I don't have...
