Instructions

Alternate sections are marked Say and Play. The Say sections are spoken or sung to an improvised tune in a stentorian and condescending manner, as a traffic court judge lecturing a recidivist speeder. Read as though the text makes perfect sense, even though its grammar and meaning may make sudden, unexpected turns.

The Play sections use an ordinary five-line staff with oval note heads () interspersed with diamond () and cross () note heads. Play in a manner that contrasts with the lecturer's attitude. Be mocking or solicitous or calm or resigned or anything else appropriate.

• I've used bar lines set off groups of notes. Groups should be observed by accent, phrasing, pauses or some other way.
• The cross () indicates some non-standard noise, like a multiphonic or a strum behind the bridge or a dropped drumstick or a cheese-grater arpeggio or something else. Use your imagination.
• The diamond () indicates a note that is one semitone (in either direction) different from the preceding note.
• Rhythm, tempo and dynamics are entirely up to the performer. Since no clef is specified, you can pick that as well.

You can play in concert with other performers, who may play other versions of this piece, or other any other materials, composed or improvised. When playing with others, the Say sections should be performed as disruptively as possible, and the Play sections should be played sensitively, with utmost regard to enhancing the performance of the other players.

Score

Say: Why? Barnes doesn't use the same subthread.

Play:

Say: Repetition of a job.

Play:

Say: Sure: look above, and note the following text OK, since tried to help and you haven't said anything about American composers, thus it is the worst thing to ever be perpetrated on the same melody over and over, and you turned on me..."

Play:

Say: Sort of like how you ignored the evidence that you are not meant to be perpetrated on the concert band". Apparently you have not given any reason for claiming that the my discussion of a competitive ethos, or the competitive ethos? Depends on whether the "no" is included as the rest of the format, but rather the musicians. Good intonation is possible.

Play:

Say: You might want to be answered, yet he wanted an answer.

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that I'm thinking linearly, as opposed to the work several times, I have eliminated the possibility that it "doesn't work". But Blast! is irrelevant to this discussion because that's dealing with a drum and bugle corp arrangement of Bolero, not a "decent person", so by your own behavior.

Play:

Say: There are many places in New England that copy names from England.

Play:

Say: The evidence that you would constitute evidence of where I said the theme is not apt.

Play:

Say: I compared the *structure* to the original Compact Disc format. Or the Mahler Eighth.

Play:

Say: And how is he relevant to the rec.music.classical type.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you really want to advertise to the theme), and I said that. I'm still waiting for you to take it up with him.

Play:

Say: Now would you care to try for "how" or "why"?

Play:

Say: Not in the discussion has been "baiting" me.

Play:

Say: Different theme; the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody", and not as long as the Bartok is even longer.

Play:

Say: Meanwhile, you're already out of strikes.

Play:

Say: Obviously not, given the newsgroup in which the discussion is quite irrelevant. Ironically, above you called this the relevant section.

Play:

Say: The infection being John Doe writes [to Professor Plum]:

Play:

Say: Note: no response.

Play:

Say: But your guess was a good one.

Play:

Say: Who they are is different from what they do.

Play:

Say: What difference would it make whether I'm a composer of classical music" thread.

Play:

Say: After a fashion.

Play:

Say: Irrelevant, given that I was replying was crossposted to rec.music.compose, including yourself.

Play:

Say: Also irrelevant.

Play:

Say: No, because it did occur to me. See above for the nature of the members of Blast! were in the comparison is not apt.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you made a statement indicating awareness of "a number" of masterworks.

Play:

Say: Sort of like how you ignored the evidence that you claimed above that Professor Plum's postings were about music, when in fact they were about crossposting and such. I was there just last August. I've seen the PBS video of the flames and complain about Doe's "bait".

Play:

Say: How so?

Play:

Say: Non sequitur.

Play:

Say: North Cheshire makes it sound like you're in England. How popular are concert bands are a more recent development. Note that a long time ago! How does that make it so. Witness the number of repetitions you think is irrelevant.
