Jabba the Hutt: What's that ugly pig thing over there?
Saluscious Crumb: That's a Gamorrean guard. Your guard. Don't you know?
Jabba: Oh, I thought it was dinner.. *takes a green squid-like thing out of tray next to him*

* is calm, is calm...*

So last night I was listening to Ligeti's "Aventures". These pieces of crap are basically this: crap. But to get into the actual components, it is made up of human "sounds", such as grunts shrieks and evil laughs. Kind of like a cappela from hell. It scared me to death last night...it's plain demonic. Don't believe me?

Anyways, you didn't mean John TAVERNER, did you?

And you would be right: John Taverner is a way older composer...

Ligeti: Laughter is supposed to be music too.

Hector: Laughter of the gods maybe, not the cackling demons of hell.

Ligeti: I think you're afraid of new music.

Hector: Of yours; it'd make even Rob Zombie jump the bluff!

Ligeti: I'm going now...I just thought up another piece of music...

Hector:...remember to flush, please.

This guy I know is playing mvmt 3 of Clara Schumann's piano concerto in the college concerto competition. It's pretty cool

Why didn't I check that before?

...*feels stupid*...oh yeah...*is stupid*

Clara S's Piano Concerto, eh? I've been meaning to look into it...not exactly commonly found though, is it?

I think you want the "star wars funnys" thread in the star wars forum, not the classical music thread in the Entertainment forum...

hectorberlioz · 09-18-2006, 06:48 PM

Ligeti: You don't appreciate new music, obviously.

Hector: Now that is just rubbish. I like Tavener's "Protecting Veil" a lot.

Ligeti: Yeah but you obviously aren't appreciative of new ideas, like mine.

Hector: What's so new about your ideas? People have been coughing and shrieking ever since God put 'em on the earth...

Ligeti: But my music is supposed to be like that, it's SUPPOSED to be absurd and funny...

Hector: Well you're obviously selling under the wrong genre. You ought to be selling under Comedy Album.

Mercutio · 09-18-2006, 07:13 PM

Hahaha. Taveners "new" music is really "old," and you know it.

True, he uses gregorian chant models etc...

But Ligeti was trying to say I didn't like any contemporary music...he's a sly one.
Did you listen to the samples?

WTF? This is happening to me increasingly often... I'd normally say it's because I leave the computer to go eat and then forget where I was, but I think it's more likely that Entmoot makes me shift pages. I think some benevolant ID theif has stolen my Stardust account and has been boosting my score, while playing a few well-meaning jokes on me here.
Whatever the case may be, I'm not absent minded enough to just post that in the wrong thread.

Anyway...
I don't get why people always associate the Toccata with "funeral music". That's worse than people associating Rhapsody in Blue with United Airlines.

Classical-Vent: Can't seem to keep my files organized. And, thanks to a problem transferring my music from my old hard drive, and my bad habit of leaving CDs out of their cases, I've lost half of the music I have on CD.
