It was funny to see all the RIP Milton Babbitt status updates on my composer and music friends' facebook profiles yesterday. Obviously not haha, but after all the negative things we may have said about the man's music, there was a definite sadness in everyone upon learning of his passing early Saturday morning. Nothing but respect and admiration for his contributions to music and, in particular, avant-garde music in the United States.
And that's how it should be.
Thanks for listening, Milton. RIP.
