With Josquin began the cult of the great composer—a mind-set that has left a distinctly ambiguous imprint on classical-music culture. And his rise to superhero status brought with it a curious paradox. Although commentators across five centuries have agreed on Josquin’s preëminence, his works can easily be confused with those of other gifted contemporaries.
One of the more interesting features of the remake of Battlestar Glactica was the music. Bear McCreary was the composer and it broke with the traditional music of science fiction shows. Around 2010 Bear had a few concerts. Here's one that had Katee Sackhoff - Starbuck in the show - play part of a musical theme that was central to the show. Here's McCreary description:
I always thought it would be a blast to have Katee come and recreate that [scene] in a live performance. She was of course very nervous. She’s not a pianist. She hasn’t taken piano lessons, but she was such a great sport, though. I told her, “Look, don’t practice, don’t be nervous. Let’s just recreate that scene! I will play this sort of figurative role of this other character who sat next to you and I’ll teach you the notes in front of everybody. And then the band will kick in and support you in the way that the score did during that scene.”
