A composer’s job involves the decoration of fragments of time. Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid. Living composers are entitle to proper compensation for the use of their works. (Dead guys don’t collect — one reason their music is chosen for performance.) | |
