And those old-timey longhairs didn't help any, naming their compositions with all the poetry of auto part numbers in a factory catalog.
But it doesn't have to be like that, especially here, at Froth Central©, where we can basically do what the fuck we like. This is the first, and possibly the last, in a series that shows what classical music could look like if approached from the 21c.

ReplyDeleteGenius!
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to track down the actual artist etc... Shazam, Google etc.
ReplyDeleteDang burnette to heck.
OK, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. That's my final guess.

ReplyDeleteAbsolute genius. Both of those links were outstanding. Way to share the joy!
Yup, it's Mozart's snappily-titled "Clarinet Concerto In A, KV 622". It's a great album. A little short, but that's okay, the medium hadn't been invented yet. And you know what? I reckon this is the way he'd want his music packaged if he was alive and not dead.
ReplyDeleteDownload it for the track titles if you have it already.
Brilliant titles! My version just has these dull generic ones like Allegro, Adagio and Rondo (Allegro). These (are they yours?) assist the listener greatly in interpreting the music, lifting his mood a couple of notches skyward.
DeleteThe idea, titles and the art are mine. That's Marisa Berenson in Barry Lyndon. Wotta dame!
DeleteAnd candlelight becomes her very well.
DeleteI don't really get why they would keep coming out with
ReplyDeletethese remakes when the original's always better. No,
wait! Just kidding! It's a media-theoretical wisecrack!
To me, this whole package is actually thought-provoking
(on top of being cute and clever), so thanks for that.
Absolutely brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments, music lovers! I'll come up with another in the series just as soon as these Roswells are finished with their anal probe.
ReplyDeleteI liked "Barry Lyndon" from the first time I watched it. Maybe it was the last time, though. Long damn movie. My attention span ain't what it used to be. Excellent soundtrack, though. This Wolfgang business is much better than that Falco crap, which seems more targeted to the "network TV singing competition" viewing demographic, at best.
ReplyDeleteFrom the vaguely remembered fragments of the trailers for the Amadeus movie I never bothered to watch I take it he is considered by some to be the "punk rocker" of his day so I'm willing to offer the uninformed and baseless opinion that he might approve of this repackaging.
