Silent Slinky steals a motive from Arnold Schoenberg’s atonal hit song cycle from 1912, Pierrot Lunaire. It goes on with a corrupted version of "Silent Night," menacing snippets of "I’ll Be Home for Christmas," and the Slinky commercial
jingle. It’s fun for a girl or a boy!
Wedding Day Funeral March
A chaotic marriage between Wagner’s Bridal
Chorus and Chopin’s Funeral March. It includes a wistful version of “My
Favorite Things,” and a ragtime/salsa section based on the "Dies Irae," a medieval
chant for the Day of Wrath.
Jolly Jesus
A bitonal campfire song. “Jesus Loves Me” and “Camptown
Races” interspersed with “Lullaby and
Good Night” in the style of Prokofiev. Recently, my friend Rich brought it to my attention that I had
inadvertently quoted Ministry in this piece as well.
Spindly Spider (with a small contribution from my cat near the end)
“Itsy Bitsy Spider” and “Three Blind Mice” with
a sprinkle of “Rain, Rain, Go Away”
