	Alexander Goehr- Composition:Today
		Alexander Goehr is a key figure in contemporary British music: founder of the Manchester Group — including fellow composers Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies — and teacher of several of Britain’s leading composers, he talks to Daniel Jaffé êabout his career from socialist agitator to opera composer.
		Goehr has recalled being reduced to fits of giggles by Messiaen’s proposal that his students should go out into the woods and transcribe birdsong, and being utterly bemused by Messiaen’s attempt to analyse Berg’s Violin Concerto “as if each chord could be catalogued by the rules of the harmony book”.
		Goehr points out that Schoenberg himself, towards the end of his life, was showing signs of sublimating his 12-tone technique: “it’s very possible that Schoenberg might have transcended the serial system himself.

	Music Note - Goehr
		Alexander Goehr, one of today's most important British composers, has been described as "a politically conscious composer, determined to write music relevant to his age."
		His father, the celebrated conductor Walter Goehr, had studied with Schoenberg and admired him greatly, yet recognized the limitations of 12-tone technique and the music of the New Viennese School.
		At one time, Alexander Goehr composed in strict 12-tone or serial style but he came to appreciate his father's more realistic vision and has said that, although his work is deeply affected by serial music, he feels he has also transcended it.

	On An Overgrown Path: The real 'Piano Man'
		Ogdon became part of what is now known as the ‘Manchester School’ together with Harrison Birtwistle and Alexander Goehr.
		For years I have "known" about the Manchester school of British composers and interpreters -- usually referring to Alexander Goehr, Peter Maxwell Davies, Harrison Birtwistle, Elgar Horwarth, and John Ogdon -- but I never knew this story about Mr Ogdon and his triumphs and severe illnesses.
		And the last CDs on my player, two weeks ago, were several of the Maxwell-Davies Symphonies, as well as Alexander Goehr's The Death of Moses, which I am growing to like and admire after having been less impressed after a single listen some years back.
