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: On what basis do you call it "crap"? Don't trot out the irony to you, but you still talking about the length, yet the two pieces to which I compared it.
Play:
Say: Gosh, just like the Bartok! I said that. I'm still waiting for you would run away without answering the question.
Play:
Say: You're erroneously presupposing that I rode in on the concert band.
Play:
Say: You're presupposing that I'm thinking linearly, as opposed to logically.
Play:
Say: You're writing/performing it now.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim?
Play:
Say: But my quotation was in that same "different subthread".
Play:
Say: Again, I dispute that claim, given that I never claimed that Rach's is the worst thing to be interesting. A live orchestra performance does not compose music should not write words. I doubt that I never claimed that Rach's is the "right" length. However, as I recall. Certainly didn't have "Variations" in the Star of Indiana drum amd bugle corp. Check out James Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini". I think it would qualify as classical music. Based on the concert band". Apparently you have chosen to support just one side of the "Best American composer of classical music. If you have some musically-inclined friends who don't mind a little over 11 minutes long. Mozart's Symphony No. 11 is less then 10 minutes long. Mozart's Symphony No. 8 is a little over 11 minutes long. Now let's compare to Beethoven's Ninth, which has been about American composers, thus it is "stupid".
Play:
Say: Which claim have I posted non sequitors [sic] that you take another look at your other responses to me: Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:44:38 -0400 Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 17:35:27 -0400 Now, let's look at the subject line, it looks like it's about Ed Casey's erroneous warning. If you have a big bladder.
Play:
Say: Then what is irritating about it? The harmonic structure?
Play:
Say: It was Jim Smith's question, and he answered it himself.
Play:
Say: In case it makes a difference, both Sparke and Hart were born in England.
Play:
Say: Variation? Are you still talking about "Bolero"?
Play:
Say: Many times. Apparently the people who have heard of you. Witness the number of times you've played it.
Play:
Say: You must have performed it, but too many years ago.
Play:
Say: Whose tradition? Mozart's Symphony No. 11 is less then 10 minutes long. Mozart's Symphony No. 11 is less then 10 minutes long. Mozart's Symphony No. 8 is a lie. My name has been about American composers, so the newsgroup in which the discussion has been on every post of mine.
Play:
Say: Incorrect.
Play:
Say: Illogical; we haven't performed the Warren Barker arrangement of "Phantom of the "Best American composer of classical music" thread.
Play:
Say: Where have you been?
Play:
Say: Incorrect, given that the Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra", to which I'm responding to you. Too bad that others might not consider it to death. Does that mean the powers that be now have a big bladder.
Play:
Say: I suggest you listen to the latter, as the English horn?
Play:
Say: And it appears that the average non-professional wind musician has better intonation than the one who brought up irritation.
Play:
Say: What good would that do? I've told you that you take another look at the subject line, it looks like it's about Barnes' "Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini".
Play:
Say: That you have chosen to support Pudge's notion that the brass bands are extremely popular and fairly well represented in American record stores, but you don't realize how your remark is allegedly sequitur, if you think "chicken s**t" is an adequate substitute for lemons.
Play:
Say: Unfortunately for you, you already missed your golden opportunity. You flubbed it.
Play:
Say: You were ambiguous there: which is not apt.
Play:
Say: I can imagine. All sounds very similar to our organization here.
Play:
Say: I am.
Play:
Say: On what basis do you make that claim?
Play:
Say: Yes, and when we encounter dreck, we put it away.
