Really cheery music!

Not just a parody of another thread. By definition it is a second Crumple-free music zone.

This piece is much abridged, but still, it did give people a lot of cheer.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Surprisingly good acoustics for an open-air, street performance. Kudos to the audio technician. I like how they snuck the choir in. Very clandestine.

:tup:

Anyway, how about a happy ciaccona?

^^^ Neither cheery nor music*. :P

Bolero is my most successful work. Shame it's not music. - M. Ravel (attrib.)




Handel knocked this one out to distract the audience while stage hands changed the props between acts 2 and 3 of his oratorio, Solomon. The oratorio goes on for well over two hours. It still gets performed from time to time, but I don't know where the organisers get the audience from.
