Christmas greetings from a young composer friend of mine who - for some reason - has asked to remain anonymous. He is very good at this - so good that he has been hit during arguments when he has used the technique to irritate his opponent.
This little ditty is not representative of his usual work. He had a choral concert in Bath Abbey this Summer, and this particular piece was not included in the performance.
I had skipped right past the title and, before clicking on the clip, had high hopes that you do not only mix with the rich and famous but also with the musically talented. I envisioned classical music that would sweep me off my feet and make me have to dry my eyes. I really mean it.
And then I clicked on the clip.
And now I understand why your young friend wishes to remain anonymous. Unknown Dude, you may have brought the wrath of the internet upon you.
I got hit round the head with a large lump of wood by a history teacher at school for doing something similar. I have since learned to expect to have to duck.
It sounds like one of those insects that inevitably appear when you're trying to eat your burnt chops at someone's barbecue dinner. (I don't like barbecues.)
I'm not sure I have spelt the title right, maybe it should contain more 'o's and 'u's. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteNo Tom, you captured it perfectly and yes he'd be a great irritant at a corporate meeting or two. Sounds like our president of late.
ReplyDeleteParliament, maybe?
DeleteThrash Mn. Short but not sweet.
ReplyDeleteI though it was quite cute, in an irritating sort of way.
DeleteI sent this clip to a friend, and the title of that email was, "How to get yourself hit during an argument."
ReplyDeleteDo you really think adheres to the dictionary definition of a 'composition' - try looking under 'gibberish'.

Just kidding. ;)
He is well represented elsewhere for all the other stuff. No wrath involved.
DeleteI do this pretty good. I have learned to duck quick.

DeleteHappy Christmas.
DeleteToo early, but thanks anyway.
DeleteI took the opportunity while the going was good.
