For you celebrants of Galt's Atlantis, where Richard Halley plays the Concerto of Deliverance, you may be interested in this: In the two weeks since July 4, with the announcements and invitations for the Concerto of Deliverance album sent to thousands of people (objectivist or otherwise), there have been diverse responses -- ranging from just going to the website, sampling the music, and reading the production notes, reviews, etc. -- to accepting the invitation and possibly enjoying the whole journey, "an adventure of discovery, remembrance, and arrival". Many were astounded just by the existence of such an album (arriving after nearly a half century since Rand first described what such music might and ought to sound like). Some of them couldn't believe their eyes and ears, and wanted to wait, or to check for signs of authenticity (and authentication). Others were unhesitant in wanting to satisfy their curiosity and desire for inspiration and encouragement -- and after hearing it, were glad and grateful that they took the leap. This is just the beginning. It's only a matter of time and effort, courage and perseverance, love and thought: for this Concerto of Deliverance is becoming a favorite source of artistic enjoyment and soon, a theme song of objectivists. For those who haven't been to the website yet, you might be in for a surprise, both from the music samples and from the contextual information that, at the least, will provoke contemplation on the cultural significance of the release of this Concerto of Deliverance by John Mills-Cockell. Those who haven't visited recently will find an additional excerpt from the album and more articles posted. There is another review, by Tom Radcliffe, listed with the ones by Carolyn Ray and Eric Nolte; also, an interview of the composer when he was starting out two years ago (a companion to the "Composer's Notes" he wrote after he finished). Still there are the profiles of the contributors (who include a chamber music professor and an artist-in-residence from University of Victoria, Canada, and a children's choir), plus other album information -- of particular interest to those wondering about how to "spread objectivism". And, for those who know of him, the references to the commissioner and executive producer of the work should be of interest, as well. More features are planned to be placed on the site. A suggestion for those who are uncertain: There's really nothing to lose. Don't wait for others. This is genuinely a chance for change that you could give yourself, now. For change, give chance. For-give, take chance. The place is at http://www.starshipaurora.com/concertoofdeliverance.html Monart
