[Trombone-l] Lassus "Racial"

[Adrian Drover]

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how a bunch of notes can warrant a racist
label.  I happen to like Lassus and have even made my own arrangement of it
for our local trombone band.  I hope this doesn't make me a racist.  Should
I stop enjoying Wagner too?  Would Lassus still be trash if it had come from
the pen of some composer other than Fillmore?  What makes it racist?  Please
enlighten me.
