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”.

 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.

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.
