b.banner · 11-18-2003, 10:43 PM

i just discovered a new composer.his name is william vincent wallace he was irish.anyone heard of him ?well if you dont here is information he was born march 11th 1812 . he became a professional violintist at age 15 his most well known operas are maritana and lurline. his other famous music where piano stuff there names where la gondolo and tarantelle. ell thats all i know

He is real in the sense that there is music written credited to P.D.Q. Bach--The music does exist, PDQ doesn't. He is a creation of Peter Schickele who does, in a sense, create parodies of famous music. In the short-tempered clavier, he has some themes based on 20th century tunes (such as chopsticks!). He also wrote some really weird stuff with a really weird organ-type thing that "explodes" at the end of the music. In this there is also a group of Senators playing some weird thing he invented like a pickle (the food...). Some of the performance notes to his pieces are really funny. He has some translated into five languages. The english makes sense, the german does, mostly, and French has nothing to do with the music, the hieroglyphics aren't real, and the pig latin is, well, pig latin. Did you get the "S. 3.14259, easy as", easy as pi?

wow, weird about pdq bach,

Ornelírë Mistë · 11-19-2003, 05:02 PM

I listened to Shostakovich string quartets 8,7, and 3 today. Absolutely stunning, what do you think of them?
As for the trivia, I have a question if no one else does.

jellyfishannah · 11-19-2003, 05:31 PM

Oh, oh , oh....Shostachovich lol. I thought you said Dvorak. Hmm...I don't know if I've ever heard his string quartets. Hector!

Are you hiding some of those CD's?!

brownjenkins · 11-19-2003, 05:51 PM

good to see that people still listen to classical music... Chopin has always been my favorite, with Satie and Poulenc close behind

hectorberlioz · 11-19-2003, 09:12 PM

you'd be surprised at how big classical music is getting.
long live Hector Berlioz!

Silme*Christian · 11-23-2003, 01:31 PM

I love classical. And it doesn't blow out my eardrums like my brothers' hard rock/heavy mettal music.

hectorberlioz · 11-23-2003, 10:46 PM

Silme*Christian · 11-25-2003, 02:04 PM

hectorberlioz · 11-25-2003, 02:25 PM

VIVE BERLIOZ!

Rosie Gamgee · 11-25-2003, 06:31 PM

VIVE HANDEL!!
Yeah, long live classical music yo!

P.S. I'm very tolerant in my music tastes (I can listen to Christmas music, then punk, then some folky music like the Kingston Trio, then classic rock 'n' roll, and then classical music, and not be phased in the least. So be advised- be careful what you bash. Some classical music fanatics are also fanatics about other kinds o' music

)

long live good music!

hectorberlioz · 11-25-2003, 06:36 PM

oh, me and silme wont bash on the board. not too much anyway

.
silme-do you admire Bach? Schoenberg?

Silme*Christian · 11-27-2003, 07:02 PM

Yes, I like Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" but have not heard of Shcoenberg, though it sound a little familiar. I really like Mozart and Beethoven! I have the complete "Dream Melodies" CD's and Shcoenberg is not even there. I also like Opera. Andrea Bochelea (sp?) and Charlot Church...*sight*

hectorberlioz · 11-27-2003, 08:14 PM

oh cool.
good tast you have.
you should try dvoraks piano quintets. very good.

Silme*Christian · 11-28-2003, 11:54 AM

Really? I love piano! It is my favorite. Oh! And also famous Ballet songs...Swan Lake, Nutcracker...
