Superman! (Well, sorta)
We were talking about composers in the library, like we do.
And we mentioned a certain living composer, who has written some things some of us have played (and/or marked bowings in). We'll call him "Superman," 'cause I don't want to get sued.
Here (approximated for your reading pleasure) is our conversation:
Krista: Is there a Superman card [on the Best Composer Ever wall]?
Sean: Please say there's not a Superman card.
Sara: There is not a Superman card. We could make a not-Superman card. Replace the not-Brahms card.
Sean: Yes! Let's do that.
Fabiola: What is his name again? I am not familiar with this composer...
Sara: Superman? That's 'cause he's not important.
Sean: Except he kind of is, because he's getting played everywhere.
Fabiola: Maybe he sleeps around.
{Laughter and applause.}
In all fairness, Sean tells me there's one movement (from the symphony) that calls for lots of percussion (and violin) and is fun to play and fairly musical.
Okay, fine.

Best Facebook Meme Ever
I stumbled on an awesome note on my friend's FB page. It starts like this:
"Name 5 pieces of classical music that make you want to shout "TOUCHDOWN!!!" or otherwise reach for the metaphorical cigarette. Let's see how many we can get without repeating any. Do the cut and paste thing and add to the first 5 that came to my mind, and tag whomever you'd like when you're done..."
Things like Brandenburg 1, the one with the horn trio.
So comment. What are your "touchdown" pieces?

The Sexiest Composer Ever
So..the sexiest composer ever....A composer could write sexy music but does the composition earn extra points if the composer is sexy as well?
So tell me:
Sexiest composer ever?
