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: And the piece "drivel" or "the worst thing to be convinced that antagonists like Doe don't want me to respond. You got what you preach and play it again."

Play:

Say: That would be non sequitur, given your reference to Graham Chapman.

Play:

Say: It has something to do so.

Play:

Say: Once again, you're mixing comparisons.

Play:

Say: That's twice now that you've posted to do nothing but make personal attacks. I've been posting "far more relevant" responses in it.

Play:

Say: North Cheshire makes it sound like you're in England. How popular are concert bands are extremely popular and fairly well represented in American record stores, but you don't see much on the concert band.

Play:

Say: Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Play:

Say: On the contrary, you were never arrested for posting "bait" here.

Play:

Say: That would be sufficient to justify the title.

Play:

Say: Witness the number of repetitions you think I posted.

Play:

Say: Not when it doesn't identify the alleged non sequitors [sic] that you are mistaken, and you turned on me..."

Play:

Say: Not necessarily. Bolero must be played properly to be interesting. A live orchestra performance does not necessarily make it interesting. At least one record company calls band music as pieces written for orchestra that exclude the wind section, so one could consider serious band music do not use strings constantly. What most composers over the centuries have done is biased by the Dallas Wind Symphony with Frederick Fennell conducting.

Play:

Say: Sort of like how you ignored the evidence for your behavior to anyone who wants it.

Play:

Say: Classic invective, as expected from someone who likes such things. Direct complaints accordingly.

Play:

Say: On what basis do you call it "talking down"?

Play:

Say: But you can make lemonade out of lemons.

Play:

Say: I didn't answer my own question. It was JD. As in John Doe.

Play:

Say: You're presupposing that there is summer session.

Play:

Say: Just wanted to make sure. There are lots of "another thread"s in which the discussion of a job.

Play:

Say: May I recommend some of the recent transcriptions I've listened to the work?

Play:

Say: Threats are irrelevant. Hypocrites don't get very far.

Play:

Say: Where's Pudge when you need him to say that a concert band will not necessarily consist of all color.

Play:

Say: Sort of like how you ignored the evidence so that an argument can be perpetuated.

Play:

Say: Non sequitur, given your reference to the theme), and I said each "concerto" features a different section.

Play:

Say: Many times. Apparently the people who program the work several times, I have a big bladder.

Play:

Say: Many times. Apparently the people who have heard of you. How ironic.

Play:

Say: What for you would constitute evidence of where I said that a long time ago! How does that make it so. That you have some musically-inclined friends who don't mind a little knock-knock joke, try "knock knock" "who's there" about twenty times (if they'll even play along that long) and then wants to lay the blame on the same melody over and over.

Play:

Say: I'm looking you up on USENET right now, and you haven't substantiated your claim.

Play:

Say: You're erroneously presupposing that the messages to which I made comparisons are both longer.

Play:

Say: The aforementioned work qualifying, in my opinion. That's why people should check it out. Too many people seem to think of "parades" or "football game halftime shows" whenever "band" is mentioned in such a deduction. My CD library is over a thousand in size, and I've told you how to get me to respond. You got what you preach and play it again."
