  Encyclopedia: List of pandiatonic pieces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
pandiatonic chord In music and music theory a chord (from the middle English cord, short for accord) is now three or more notes sounding simultaneously, or near simultaneously over a period of time.
The solo piano pieces and the ones featuring an accompanist are all wonderful and should fit in well with late night reading or conversation when ambient music is not romantic enough or something more "grounded" or "traditional" is needed or desired.
Welch comes in with a simple rhythm on piano, and then the piece evolves into a gorgeous duet for piano and guitar, maintaining the bittersweet flavor of the opening passage, but becoming improvised and almost bluesy.

 Erik Satie: news group (the works)
Satie was a rebel where form was concerned, and it was rare for his pieces to be based on a traditional formal pattern (the cafe-conc works are an exception to this rule - their context required them, to a certain extent, to follow certain formal rules).
His use of modes in the early pieces negates the tonal system to a certain extent, and his blatant disregard for standard musical practices (excepting his later post-Schola compositions, which may anyway be seen as an example of this, in their extremity!) would seem to work against his being associated with hierarchical notions.
You're right that the pieces are complicated for the performer, and it is a measure of Satie's abilities that he makes works simple for the listener, and therefore readily accesible, while presenting something of a challenge for the performer - he condenses two diametrically opposed elements without losing the effect of either.

 Musical Times: Carter as symphonist: Redefining boundaries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The wistful, whimsical feeling of the piece, typical of early Carter, remained, free of symphonic bombast.
Even so, this charm was lost on its few audiences, and the work has remained in the shadows since its premiere, despite the enthusiasm shown for it by Howard Hanson, Fritz Reiner and, though it would seem alien to his sensibility, Edgard Varese.
Here he replaced the thematic contrast of sonata form with a contrast of tempos in a ratio of 3:2, with the pandiatonic thematic material developing continuously throughout the movement, and with the rate of both tempos gradually increasing and then decreasing.

 Planet Tree Music Festival: commentary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Thus, 14 pieces were published without opus number and without remuneration to the composer; that summer, Skryabin composed the First Sonata in one short burst.
Even though the literary companion piece to 'The Poem of Ecstasy' is of Skryabin's own creation, it has been said that the content of the text is reminiscent of Bal´mont's 'Budem kak solntse' ('We shall be as the Sun') in which creation is identified with ecstasy and escape into the air.
The set of piano pieces, op.10, demonstrate that Catoire had found a personal style: the limpid but often complex harmonies, multi-layered textures and mastery of form all contribute to his unique but rarely recognized voice.

the list is endless, the study of harmony, form.
I know the term pandiatonic, but that is different from what you seem to imply, which is seemingly what is called playing 'outside' the changes.

 [Finale] Re: Tan: Tonality (Was4/4 to 2/2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It is not atonal, but it is not tonal either, which is what is signified by such terms as pandiatonic, nontonal, and post-tonal.
Furthermore, all of this music and the atonal music written alongside it (often by the same composers) are considered by the vast majority of historians and composers to belong to a common musical community, reflecting very similar responses to a "crisis of tonality" brought on by the overload of fudge-factors mentioned above.
To use the words "tonal" and "tonality" to refer to the entire musical universe except for the relative handful of pieces that are atonal is useless, even ridiculous.

Brusa was born in Milan, and as a child wrote a couple dozen piano pieces.
Currently she is best known for her orchestral works recorded in two volumes on the Naxos label.
Brusa describes her musical style as "close to Neo-Tonality and in particular to Neo-Romanticism, but in the original sense of the word, which is often confusedly assimilated to the other ones," and her harmony as "essentially pandiatonic with panchromatic moments."

 CD Baby: CHRIS WELCH: Night Music
The mood of these pieces is, of course, laid-back and (almost always) purposely placid.
However, there is variety of style here, with trace elements of light jazz and subtle shadings of neo-classical, too, as well as plenty of romantic new age music touches here and there.
I also like the gently swaying sensuality of "Bossa Nova Lullaby in Db" and the plaintive "Nocturne in C Minor" graced by a mournful nylon string guitar.

Three Meditations for Dane Rudhyar is one of a number of compositions written as responses to the work of American composers while I was a Postdoctoral Scholar at UCLA in 1983 84.
The inspiration for the piece was not the music of Rudhyar but rather his book, The Magic of Tone and the Art of Music.
One of the book's central ideas is that Western music has lost its potency through its obsession with the structural arrangement of tones and the resultant subjugation of magical sounds themselves.

 Robert Fripp - Chapter 8
Fripp loves to formulate little paradigmatic lists, and in 1982 he was to formalize what he called the "four criteria for work": work should earn a living, be educational, be fun, and be socially useful.
In addition to producing the album, Fripp played on many of the pieces; he shines particularly brightly in the angular electric guitar solo on "White Shadow" and in the cascading, foreboding Frippertronics of "Exposure," a song he co-wrote with Gabriel.
Piccarella described Walton's piece as follows: "A taped series of quotations from linguistic philosophers was rendered both sensible and ridiculous by a series of silent physical performances.

Often pieces which are composed completely atonally can still sound like they are working from within the tonal system.
If you hear a Schoenberg piece which you KNOW is atonal in its construction, yet your ears tell you that there are certain "tonal" centers or better yet, cell or axis centers, we have a hierarchical, progressional system - is that tonality?
There are actually 4 string quartets (maybe even a fifth one now); they all have something to offer but I like the first and 4th the best so far.

Here's how it works: The first person on the list begins the cd by naming their selection.
The ostinato-driven, pandiatonic neo-baroque style to which his nationalist ballet scores gave way here becomes slightly more chromatic (albeit in a strangely static-yet-Bachian way -- subsequent movements consist of a passacaille and a gigue).
As in his earlier works, the propulsive quality of this opening movement is due to the use of rhythm, dynamics and color, and to Stravinsky's characteristic use of the texture, if not the harmonic structure, of tonal counterpoint.
