[anipo123]

haha thats me

[takarayumi]

Were there supposed to be altos in this version. If there were, I couldn't hear them. Our choir did this song for our opening concert and it was a lot of fun. They didn't look like they were having much fun until the scat version, and even then they still looked rather emotionless.

[jimboman11]

its supposed to sound like crap its what u do thats funny which these guys did not

[poppag57]

Had any of these people ever met before this performance. What a mess!!

[principalbass]

I didn't know this was a 12-tone work...

[Eagle11800]

Ba-ZING!

[ChorallyTuned]

We are singing both versions of this song! I love this as it is just perfect for the mood!

[silentbugler]

a truly vile performance, but uttlery appropriate for this work... LOVE the pitch pipe!!

[satBASS]

ummm ok, but am i the only one who hears how bad the sopranos sound?

[Universalist27]

Glad someone had the guts to point out the freedoms this choir took with pitch.

[zoloftuse]

@satBASS nope!

[aldebussy]

LMAO...

[KRISTENAM2]

You all sound great. The guys in my school make us sound bad lol

[missycroc1]

look up 'screaming opera'. Our school did the same song... but differently.

[mbulsht]

gotta love peter schickele

[xxwanting]

P.D.Q. Bach is an absolute genius.

[vegetarian4life7483]

our school's chamber choir is singing this tomorrow night at a concert; we were going to have one of the tenors do the improv but im not sure if he's still gonna do it lol

[Waffle281]

we did a sight read through this today, I couldn't sing it because I kept laughing!

[vanni9283]

From "Fa-la-la's" to scat singing...lol!!!

[HandwhistlerBen]

What a great performance!!!!! I was fortunate to be able to perform a Sonata with Peter Schickele and his P.D.Q. Bach Show for three nights during Christmas of 1975 in Lincoln Center.

[Violacello]

Please elaborate on the experience.

[HandwhistlerBen]

Peter Schickele wanted people for his "Festival of Weird Instruments" section of his P.D.Q. Bach Show Decemeber 26, 28 and 29 in 1975. I was put in touch with him through a mutual friend, and we wrote letters back and forth for over a year, until he invited me to come to New York and audition. He told me on the spot that he wanted me! Three thousand a night in the audience in Philharmonic Hall! Handwhistling a Marcello Bassoon Sonata with an accompanist, and "Turkish March" on Facial cheeks.

[graveyard30]

We did this song at SAC and it was fun. Thanks for sharing these fun memories.

[AdierTwigg]

very nice... i think there should be more pdq bach in the public school system-it would do society a lot of good!
