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.
