[yda1740]

Does anyone know what all of the pieces are they are using for this? I recognize them all from hearing, but mostly can't think of what they're called!

Especially the following two parts: "don't be a twit it's a real crisis and I'm working to a dead line..."

and

"that's a problem I don't want to deal with..." ,

would be great if someone could help!

[ReaIly]

@yda1740

First is Badinerie

Second is Brandenburg concerto no.2 3rd movement

[lainnin]

I always get goosebumps everytime I listen to the king's singers, they are so incredibly talented.

[senojlegin17]

Amazing! I'll never listen to the slow movement of the Bach "Double" in the same light, again.

And, at last, some else, other than cigars, to think about during the Air!

Lyrics part 3 Thats a problem I dont want to deal with. How many permutations of C and D and E and F and G is a thing that Ive never heard of. You can leave that to Arnold Schoenberg. He is the person to do that twelve-tone thing. NO! It isnt the answer I havent the foggiest What am I gonna do? Im all in a panic Aaah! NO! What can I do? Ive finished my Toccata but I have no fugue. (Fugue plays ;-) aaah. And now Ive got a fugue!

[eilish21]

Lyrics part 2

Dont be a twit. Its a real crisis and Im working to a deadline.

What can I fit? Whatd fit after that great Toccata?

Maybe it needs to be something faster?

I havent got a clue, and in a week the piece is due.

Im in a panic and Im stuck like glue.

Dont get your knickers in a twist Johann. Notes are only notes you always said.

Theres only twelve so use your head.

How many arrangements of twelve notes can there possibly be?

[eilish21]

This is just brilliant!

The lyrics part 1

J. S. Bach had a little problem.

J. S. Bach was in a fix.

J.S. Bach couldnt find an answer.

What to do?

Ive written most of a rather fabulous work. Toccata its in d minor but now Im feeling a bit of a jerk.

I cant think of what should come after it.

Now said his wife, who was resting up after her thirty third child.

Johann my dear, you should just go to bed. Something always comes up.

[Kuponita89]
