Talk:John Corigliano

Gay composer
"is he a "gay composer" or a composer who is gay?", any difference between gay composer and a composer who is gay? :O --Yacht 09:19, Nov 27, 2003 (UTC)


 * Is there a difference between a French composer and a composer who is French? Hyacinth 20:41, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I'm confused by the "Duck Season - Rabbit Season" series of edits. Is there a dispute about whether or not Corigliano is gay? MK 06:22, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Was this issue ever resolved? I couldn't find evidence either way...--SingCal 20:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, he is, and its fairly well known. Hyacinth (talk) 03:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I notice a banner asking for citations, and since this is the only subject discussed on the talk page, I'm guessing it might have something to do with this. So, Hyacinth: do you have references? More importantly, can you explain why you think (assuming you do) that this has relevance? TheScotch (talk) 12:00, 12 June 2011 (UTC)


 * We have him in gay/LGBT categories, yet there is absolutely nothing in the article that would support those categorisations. It is simply not acceptable to categorise people based on what may be "fairly well known".
 * It has to explicitly stated in the article, or the cats must be removed. --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  12:57, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Jack is correct - still no citation stating this, and I can't find one, either. If you slap the cat on this guy, you need to verify it with a Reliable Source. 104.169.22.138 (talk) 05:37, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Shotgun?
A friend told me today that Corigliano's Symphony #3 (Circus Maximus) includes a part for shotgun. I trust him, because he has played the piece with the BSO, but I do not see any reference to it here (and I expected something like that must be in the Wikipedia article). Anyone know anything about it? --Yakatz (talk) 00:58, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

"Jr."?
If the composer has exactly the same name as his violinist father, isn't he technically John Corigliano, Jr.? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:42, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia doesn't decide these things. Look to the media and follow their consensus. Binksternet (talk) 00:41, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

I believe that Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. dropped the "Jr." after his father died. I don't know whether that is standard practice.Maurice Magnus (talk) 11:14, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
