- First off, where can I buy the CD with the Bach chorale, the one sung by the choir?!
Second, I do not find EMI's music a slap or a threat to the music from past or present composers because EMI is not capable of creating a new style or a new genre of music.
EMI is only capable only of mimicking it and only after the original composer has produced quite a number of his/her original pieces (the higher the number of pieces, the more accurate EMI becomes in creating its own theme variations).
The geniuses of music (the Mozarts, the Beethovens, the Bachs, the Chopins), on the other hand, are so because they broke away from their own respective music tradition and created something completely new (new as in original, new as in never even be aware of). It's a subtle difference of "newness" the one that created by EMI and the one created by great composers.
If anything, the lesson we (and today's composers) can learn from EMI, is that of mediocrity. I can see how the mediocre, the non-creative composer can feel threatened by EMI (and rightfully so). But the geniuses, no. They have no reason to be at all concerned.
