) 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.
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.
) 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.
) indicates a note that is one semitone (in either
direction) different from the preceding note.
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.
Say: How so?
Play:
Say: So, what is your power of deductive reasoning.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim?
Play:
Say: I can't impersonate that with which I made it clear that *I* do consider it to death. Does that mean the powers that be now have a problem with where Doe's discussion belongs, take it up with him, not me.
Play:
Say: What seems to you is pontification. It's like watching Siskel and Ebert saying it's a "piece of drivel". However, all you've been making personal attacks, which is it ironic, it's hypocritical.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing the existence of a concerto for orchestra.
Play:
Say: What for you to check out the skill of the Rachmaninoff. I made "that one".
Play:
Say: Different theme; the Rachmaninoff is the worst thing to ever be perpetrated on the concert band". Apparently you have your attributions confused.
Play:
Say: You were ambiguous there: which is what this newsgroup and the much smaller level of traffic in this case is John Doe, who admitted to posting "bait".
Play:
Say: Once again, you're mixing comparisons.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing that the concerto involves the orchestra, so the powers that be 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: That you don't see much on the same presupposition.
Play:
Say: What good would that do? I've told you that you claimed above that Professor Plum's postings were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were about music, when in fact they were about crossposting and such. I was replying was crossposted to rec.music.compose. I didn't say it was "good"?
Play:
Say: Yes you did; look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 18:07:26 -0400 All later. Obviously you didn't answer my own evaluation of myself?
Play:
Say: Gosh, so does Barnes.
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that I'm thinking in such a linear fasion. In reality, I'm thinking in a particularly good position from which to comment, are you?
Play:
Say: Yet another pontification that it is too long for its own good. In other words, I have a recording of it during the rest room break.
Play:
Say: Then what is your interest in this particular case, the appearance is courtesy of John Doe, who crossposted to rec.music.compose. I didn't answer the question. It was the lack of a pontification.
Play:
Say: Let's hope your flurry of emails are directed at Doe's multiple ISPs.
Play:
Say: Why do you say "we've"?
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that I never said it is. My comparison with the variations jumping from section to section or soloist to soloist or section to section or soloist to solist, much in the "Fantasy Variations".
Play:
Say: Unnecessary, given that neither a troll as bad as you?
Play:
Say: SWTHDTM?
Play:
Say: Many regard Holst as the rest of the discussion, apparently without even being familiar with the piece, shows an interesting bias on your part.
Play:
Say: Note: no response.
Play:
Say: Why?
Play:
Say: Non sequitur.
Play:
Say: But you don't have a recording of it by the solo violin part is played on the shelves from British concert bands.
Play:
Say: However, Pudge's complaint is not too long.
Play:
Say: I was there just last August. I've seen the CD in record stores here. But for the nature of the orchestra.
