Why aren't Irish composers more rated?

    I wasn't actually aiming my question at you, and I don't really care what Whitaker has to say on the subject given that I am not much of a fan of his and I am more than capable of making up my own mind about these things, rather than needing to be told what to think by another composer.

    My thought on competitions; It's pretty hard to fairly judge a composition on the basis of the score; you can probably weed out terrible music, but something that sounds great might not be okay on paper.

    EDIT: Just read the Whitacre blog; I agree with a lot of what he says. It gets you to work to a deadline and it gets you exposure.

    Well pardon me all over the place! Where's a link to your compositions then if you don't want to hear other composers' opinions?
