Alphabet associations - I

[mercia]

Can you expand upon parody?

had a feeling you'd ask me that

I started again with Josquin, who wrote parody masses
my thoughts hadn't spread to your other composers yet
give us a moment

[mercia]

I guess I ought to have known all this, hope I've got the right works
rather sketchy at the moment:

Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra apparently parodies the Invasion theme from DSCH's 7th - didn't realise that
Hendrix Star Spangled Banner? a parody?
Beethoven String quartet no. 8 and/or the Diabelli Variations ?
PMD - 8 Songs for a Mad King parodying Handel's Messiah - didn't know that
the aforementioned Josquin Parody Masses
Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals - parodying Rameau/Offenbach/Berlioz/Mendelssohn/Rossini and more - I guess I knew that

still reading up about it, but I think that's the gist

Wonderful sleuthing mercia. Top marks and a couple of s

All works (present and correct) contain, or are, parodies. You have even provided more information than I was expecting (e.g. Beethoven SQ 8).

It's all about Q now, mercia

Isaiah 49.23 or so Google says

thanks AG an R for you

Handel sets those Isaiah words rather thrillingly (IMO) here from about 3:30

I tink these are Roys

Harris - Symphony 10 Abraham Lincoln
Eldridge - Album with Mr P
Orbison - not sure quite what happened in '88

[Tapiola]

Orbison - not sure quite what happened in '88

He formed The Travelling Wilburys, with Dylan (plus George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne)... and then died!

[antongould]
