A displaced Californian composer writes about music made for the long while & the world around that music. ~ The avant-garde is flexibility of mind. — John Cage ~ ...composition is only a very small thing, taken as a part of music as a whole, and it really shouldn't be separated from music making in general. — Douglas Leedy ~ My God, what has sound got to do with music! — Charles Ives

More Leedy
A while ago, Alex Ross solicited composerly responses to some oddly lyrical words by Lewis "Scooter" Libby, a figure in one of the current Republican administration scandals. I couldn't summon up any creative energy myself to set Libby's paean to the Colorado aspens, but I did immediately recall a set of three three-voiced rounds to a set of short, but famous, texts associated with earlier Republican administration scandal: the Watergate Rounds by Douglas Leedy. I've made a quick and dirty Finale engraving of the score and put it up here as a PDF file.
