Well, if people see that first movement as like a redux of Lilburn, that's probably true. I played the 3rd trombone part of the Aotearoa Overture and Finlandia by Sibelius. He studied with Ralph Vaughan-Williams, who was a Ravel student. See, I can quote my whakapapa in classical music extremely thoroughly! The style of music that I write really goes back to 18th century France and Gretry imo. Most would say Rameau, but he invented ET, so he's like the enemy to me. I love musical comedy precisely because it's spoken as well as sung.
