20 May 08 - 09:51 AM (#2345125) Subject: Spoof sheet music From: pavane I did have a link some years ago to a spoof page of sheet music, extremely complex but amusing. Can anyone recognise it from this description and find it again please, as I have lost it. I think it had notes like 'add bicycles' ... |

And it called for a battery of 12th-century lutes, among much else? Can't even remember where I saw it - musician's union mag? Will come back to you if I can be of any more use - |

20 May 08 - 12:58 PM (#2345299) Subject: RE: Spoof sheet music From: Marje Oh, thanks for posting that (both pages)! I had seen it some time ago but lost it again and forgotten all about it. It's had me hooting with laughter all over again, and this time I've printed it off to keep for a time when I need cheering up. Brilliant stuff. Marje |

20 May 08 - 02:10 PM (#2345363) Subject: RE: Spoof sheet music From: Desert Dancer The author, John Stump, has a web site. and he is quoted on concertina.net: 'I am currently distributing "The Faeries Aire and Death March" and "Prelude and The Last Hope in C and C# Minor" in beautiful 11 X 17 inch sturdy laminated sets, impervious to peanutbutter & jelly sandwich fingers, or bagel&creamcheese&jelly fingers. These laminated sheets, when held firmly between the fingers and waved in the air, make a most wonderful "woop - woop - woop" accompaniment suitable for folkOrkestral or avantGarden Symphonic concerti or concertinas. These are published in accord with John's Copyright ownership. The price is $25 for both, plus shipping/handling . $15 each singly. For distributors and teachers and musical directors volume discounts are negotiable.' |

21 May 08 - 07:14 AM (#2345911) Subject: RE: Spoof sheet music From: Dead Horse No triangle! What is it with the No triangle? I studied geometry for 10yrs (typically Tuesday afternoons under Miss Fondelworthy - dont go there) only to find triangles not needed !!! Makes a guy wanna give up and learn the shaky egg instead. |

21 May 08 - 08:06 AM (#2345950) Subject: RE: Spoof sheet music From: The Fooles Troupe Sadly - "Over The Waterfall" seems to be a popular title... probably hence the parody... |
