The only reason I have kept him alive is because I need to learn more about the Greys.

Prof. Peter Schickele, the great scholar of PDQ Bach, has died. Here is the "Birthday Ode to 'Big Daddy' Bach," which is good fun the whole way through but gets really amazing at 5:40. (And the soprano soloist finishes on a high D, no, a *high* D, the one above the staff, which - [applause])

PDQ Bach, the last and oddest of JS Bach's twenty-odd children, was a formative musical influence of mine. the world's foremost scholar of his works, Professor Peter Schickele of the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople, died last week. i wrote this in his memory, and i'm so pleased to have placed it in VAN magazine. give it a read, and then go bring some joy into the world <3

A towering work. One of Perlman's greatest performances. Professor Schickele was a musical genius for the ages. Let us marvel at his work.

RIP Peter Schickele, 2024-1935
The world's a poorer place without the inventor of the tromboon and the lasso d'amore.
I got to hear "Hornsmoke" live soon after its composition. I was a kid and totally didn't get the "Reverend Tubby Mirum" joke, but I do now.
(For those who need a hint: it's a riff on a line from the Dies irae: Tuba mirum spargens sonum.)

This is sad. May his memory be for a blessing.
I discovered PDQ Bach when I was in high school, and I've loved his stuff ever since.
