In Reply to: Glockenspiel or tubular chimes in Sibelius Fourth? posted by Chris from Lafayette on April 6, 2015 at 13:37:16:
Geez, this is like another rendition of the "hammer blows" argument and movement order in Mahler 6. Does anybody but the navel-gazing score-worshiping fanatics give a damn?
The only thing that matters is, when you hear it, do you like it? If it sux, don't listen to it again. If you like it, do it.
I vote for BOTH glockenspiel AND tubular bells, because ya know, in case you miss one, you get the other, and if you get both, well, it's like two toys at Christmas instead on none.
