I'm afraid I'm unable to sat that I was (favorably) impressed by Mr. Stamm's
music, or ideas. I listened to all 6 pieces. But I don't want to lay into
why I didn't like his music. I don't want to seem so negative and
intolerant!

I will say about his various proclamations that I don't believe in an
"elementary natural hierarchy of tones," and I find statements like: "Now
that the revolution of the 50's and 60's is past, we have sobered up to the
fact that the result of this very intellectual musical development is not a
new starting point but, rather, a dead end." to be unspeakably hateful,
almost genocidal, in spirit.

Paul!
I would have to say that a very large group of young composers feel the same way and have
nothing to do with Just intonation.

I think you're right! (I was just forwarding Julie's remarks, not expressing my own views.)
