[Corno Dolce]

Aloha sunwaiter,

Schoenberg's music and I have a somewhat contentious relationship. After listening to and performing in works like Moses und Aaron, Gurrelieder, and Friede auf Erde I am, as of late, somewhat more at ease with his music.

Right now *Gurrelieder* is filling my headphones.

Cheerio,

is "hell" a superlative? ...wondering...

on the place de la sorbonne, a string band used to play the canon for people walking up and down saint michel boulevard. that's where i heard this tune for the first time, although i did know aphrodite's child use of it, as well as other lesser known bands and pop singers. and now i also know bob james version of it, which is called "in the garden".
