		<description><![CDATA[A pencil may be an insignificant morsel to an i-device toting technopheliac but to my fellow luddites, it&#8217;s a very big deal:  A firefighter has their hose, a sniff-tester has their nose, and without a pencil a composer can&#8217;t compose. Today&#8217;s post is a practical comparison of some easily sourced composition utensils.  Given the very [...]]]></description>

Imagine if Vancouver sports culture, instead of leaping madly from bandwagon to bandwagon in favour of the &#8220;Canucks&#8221; or the &#8220;Lions&#8220;, were instead being tittillatingly tussled between the utilitarianly titled, &#8220;Vancouver Hockey Team&#8220;, &#8220;Vancouver Football [...]]]></description>

James is a Scottish composer who has had enormous success in Europe with ambitious works by the bucket-full and the accolades to go along with them. While he&#8217;s certainly developed a sound that is alluring to new-music ears, [...]]]></description>
