I think I *did* miss the point of astrovax!tss's question. What
difference does it make that Briiten's War Requiem or Pendericki's
Utrenja or <fill-in-the-blank>'s <fill-in-the-blank> is not "popular"?
In fact, I was at a concert ~2 years ago in Toronto of John Cage's
Finnegan's Wake (based on Joyce's novel), and there was a *very*
respectable turnout. (Though the show didn't sell out every night for
nine months ...) For that matter, you may as well point out that
Vivaldi doesn't get the air-play that Michael Jackson does. So what?
