If so, have you ever seen a Marine veteran wearing that tie clasp with a civilian tie?

When I first learned about HDR, it seemed like a great way to rescue all that shadow detail our eyes see but cameras don't. But now it seems to me that it's only used to create garish, unreal color saturation. I was discussing this with a friend of mine who does wedding photography (she only does HDR "off-duty") and she asked me about infrared and said I'm a hypocrite for liking infrared but not HDR.

Winners other than Jennifer Higdon, Steve Reich (see http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/Music if those are the only Pulitzer Prize-winning composers you know).

What sorts of melodic, harmonic, rhythmical, structural, orchestrational constructs guarantee that a new piece will not be dismissed as derivative, yet contain nothing really original anyway?

For example, people who take an audio CD of a professional orchestra playing some obscure piece of music for the audio track of the video and then put on a slideshow of pictures of the composer or the subject of the piece for the video track.

A guy impersonating Bruckner on Twitter has repeatedly asked that the Wikipedia article about "him" be deleted. I think if Bruckner was still alive, he would want that article to be deleted. But if that can't be done, I think the next best thing would be to get something other than Wikipedia to be the top search result when you Google him. How would that be accomplished?

Most of the time it gets pixilated, like that Super Bowl singer in the news coverage. But in this picture,

(Dustin Pudry takes a picture of Jack Pudry and "Tead") the editor smudged the middle fingers instead. That seems wrong to me, somehow.

Besides P. D. Q. Bach.

On Kickstarter there's a guy trying to get funds to put an orchestral concert which would include Bruckner's Overture in G minor and March in D minor on the same concert as the Vuvuzela Concerto in B-flat major by John-Luke Mark Matthews. Alfonso already admits Keith Buckner pulled out of the concert as soon as he heard about the vuvuzela. The question is of course purely hypothetical; there are only a few days left and he doesn't have any backers at all.

So, hypothetically, if Anton Bruckner was alive to say yes or no, what do you think his answer would be?

To know that for a certain melody, the other flutist/oboist/clarinetist/etc. is playing the exact same melody you are, and then at another point he/she's doubling you in thirds or sixths or octaves? What about incidental unisons, like just for a single note at the end of a melody?

As for composition contests of the past, when (if ever) were the following trends in favor? Strong jazz influence, strong rock influence, strong pop influence, rampart eclecticism, total serialism, aleatoric composition, theater verging on non-music, audience participation?

The earliest one that I know about is Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic in the Eighth Symphony, from the late 80s, on CD.

I know (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i.

But what about (a + bi)(c + di) and (a + bi)^(c + di) ?

I'm specifically asking about the tromboon, not the trombone. Or would it be the same as the trombone which is used for the tromb part? Like if you stick a bassoon bocal in a tenor trombone, its range would be the same as the tenor trombone?

Isn't it possible to change the pitch through embouchure or other means, as was the case with natural trumpets of the Classical period?

There's an mp3 at http://picardie3rd.tripod.com/WikiHymn.mp3 and (some of) the parts at http://imslp.org/wiki/Hymn_to_Wikipedia_(Matthews,... I'm not sure quite what to make of it as a piece of music, or as commentary on Wikipedia.

Like in their symphonies in C of 1788: there's C below middle C and C two octaves below middle C. Also, am I right to assume that those are the pitches desired, and not an octave up as would be the case for horn crooked in C?

Consider also that she had improper fraternization with her CO early on in her career. (I'm talking about a fictional character).
