He just told you that he likes the completely tonal music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

He specifically asked for deep, rich orchestration.

So - what've you recommended? The opposite.

You're an ideal example of the type that I deal with in my treatise "Classical People", under the subheading "Clueless Classical".

Here's some shocking news for you. Most people - alive and dead - hate atonality. Hate it. Today's youth - raised on cRap, metal, and EDM/techno - have absolutely NO reference point for dodecaphony. To their ears, it's sounds like absolutely incoherant rubbish. As one Millennial chickie exclaimed in response to a few measures of Schoenberg, "Ugggggh Yuk!!!!!".

Get a clue.
