@RubySkull888 Such a plebeian response to 'a Mad King'.

I haven't seen this live, but would love to. I saw "Punch and Judy" by Birtwistle though, that was really amazing as well.

Man oh man do I love this piece! I had the joy of playing it in college 25 years ago. I was the flutist. Nice falsetto and interpretation by your "King". Loving it!

This piece makes me want to take a shit...

i can't listening to it without feeling completely creeped out. x.x it's masterful, but very very eerie.
