Forget the fabulous haberdashery of Wolfgang and Igor. Today’s great composers wear jeans, tennies and ball caps. (Click on the thumbnails.)

    Six guys on the cover. What, no women?

    The informal duds may be a symbol of their new music, or it is
    possible that they just want to be comfortable.

    David, perhaps my photo was poor — second from right is Jennifer Higdon.

    Tim, perhaps I was making a joke. Yes, that’s more likely.

    I really did see six men there at first and I was curious who had been picked since I recognized only 3 of them immediately. It was not until I squinted out the printed names that I realized my confusion.

    I added the word “grin” to my comment (to indicate the supposed twinkle in my eye). But I put it in left and right carets -which your computer cut out as unwarranted html code. (without giving me a chance to fix it)

    Still, if you just glance at that picture, don’t you think Thomas Ades and Jennifer Higdon look a lot alike?

    Ah, thanks for the explanation, David. I will assume your question is rhetorical.
