A silly, pretentious instructional video I made for Prof. James Gardner's Sight & Sound: TV course, where I write a fugue based on the theme from Britney Spear's "Oops I Did It Again".

  • Everyone knows the only way to write one is just to plunge right in and write one. If you have the urge to write a fugue. If you have the nerve to write a fugue that we can see. So go ahead and write a fugue.

  • Genius! Good luck with your enjoyable first-aid for the musical minds of public forums. Could 12K education really use a video like this? Well of course except we can't afford to give kids this sort of option and we go on letting them learn GAGA.

  • Very Clever! Full Marks! A musical fugue explained by a verbal fugue supported by a visual fugue - three levels of complexity!. Wonderful!

  • Hahahaha I see what you did there with the vocal audio. Fugue! :D

  • Ingeniously. I had much fun.

  • We actually watched this in my music theory class.

  • Very amusing and beautifully and intelligently composed and recorded! As a music student at a college, like many others, I'm very critical when it comes to music, especially baroque (my specialty). You have, however, done a fantastic job here. God bless!

  • My orchestra director was talking about this video last week, so I thought I'd watch. Hilarious!

  • we you trying really hard to sound like carl sagan for some reason?

  • Have you ever considered 'defugalizing' the audio parts to explain the structure of the piece? I would be very interested in listening to that.
