April 2011 - recent works

[edit]

Just an FYI, from researching & adding refs to this article (pending renewed interest due to the Royal Wedding's use of Mealor's motet), the Associated Press may be confusing the premiere of Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal at St. Andrew's in October 2010 (the basis for the more-recent 'Ubi Coritas et Amor') as mentioned in this article. The correct premiere for the Ubi Coritas (2011) is the Royal Wedding. The AP/NYT article should not be cited for that particular datum. — DennisDallas (talk) 13:22, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article could use some more detail regarding what is referred to by some as Mealor's "Rose Cycle" (Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal, A Spotless Rose, etc.). And the actual article and un-named NYT author for the 2001 review quote seems elusive, although widely re-quoted by others. NYT online database returned no hits. — DennisDallas (talk) 14:09, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Selected works

[edit]

In giving this article a general edit, I found difficulty with the list of selected works. It is not clear on what basis they have been selected or by whom. But some of them seem rather minor compositions. Nevertheless, apart from adding two more recent significant works, rationalising the list and tidying it a bit, I have left the inclusions unchanged. Perhaps thought should be given to the criteria for inclusion - or a separate article with an even fuller list should be created? Davidships (talk) 02:35, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
