h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.h2g2.com/A416837 - its a good piece of music.

Read the article - a good, detailed explanation of the "pictures" painted by the music. I'd like to recommend it.

I liked the entry, too. It was well-written and the right length for the subject. It's a great piece of music.

Brava! Another winner, soon to join a growing list of entertaining and informative Entries by the same author. I hope the series continues.

A minor point: It may be helpful to say where one is likely to have encountered 'The New Statesman'; I don't think I've seen it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence I will attend to your point momentarily.

I loved this one - it perfectly captured the moods of the different sections of this piece, while adding other interesting points that I had not known before.

I would definitely recommend this to be part of the edited guide.

Me? Antisocial?

Quoi? Toi? Pourquoi?

This is a good entry. There is one thing in it I disagree with. The part of Schmuyle in Ravel's orchestration is not played by a Soprano Saxophone. It is played by muted trumpets. There is a saxophone elsewhere in the work: The Old Castle uses an Alto Saxophone for the Troubadour's song.

This is a great Entry.

I really enjoyed reading about a piece of music that is so familiar to me. I'd love to see it in the Edited Guide, and if it makes its way there, I hope it will not be one of the 'most neglected Entries', as what happened to Sergej Prokofiev.

Cheers Gnomon I'll sort that out...

You'll be glad to hear that your excellent entry has now gone into the Editorial Process for future inclusion in the Edited Guide. This means that the day will come when your Entry will be featured on the Front Page. Please keep in mind that the Sub-Editors are only humans (that's what I've been told ) and that the Editorial process may take some time. You'll be informed by Email when your Entry has made it.

Keep on doing it!
