P.D.Q. Bach (1807-1742 (?)) was the last and the least of Johann Sebastian Bach’s twenty-odd children, and he was certainly the oddest of the lot. His father ignored him completely, setting an example for the rest of the family, and indeed for posterity. P.D.Q. was virtually unknown during his own lifetime; in fact, the more he wrote, the more unknown he became. And perhaps that’s where he would have stayed had it not been for the zealous efforts of Professor Peter Schickele, who has found at least 100 manuscripts by this “pimple on the face of music” since 1954.

The worst performance of Peter and the Wolf I've ever heard

Jorge Mester conducting the Juilliard Chamber Orchestra. Narrated by Albert Fine and Leon Kuntz Okay, so maybe the title will cause controversy in the comments, but I genuinely think this is the worst performance of Peter and the Wolf I’ve ever heard. The production feels scattered and rushed, the narration is incoherent at times, and the performance isn’t really that incredible, musically spea...

With help from Bernard "Weird Beard", I managed to get myself a actual dill piccolo! This is actually a whistle that is in the shape of a piccolo that was given away as a Burger King Prize. P.D.Q.

P.D.Q. Bach: Music You Can't Get Out of Your Head
il fallait oser !!! j'avoue que c'est intéressant😝 !
I love his voice. Its soothing.
Thanks so much! I loved this show and I wish he had made more of them!
Schickele generously shared his great love and knowledge in a most personal way: through humor. 😂 On tour in Baltimore in the early 1980’s, he let me try his left-handed sewer flute ( considerately removing the heavy faucet on the foot joint)! He’s missed but still very much present for those of us who love and admire him. 💖
What a treat-leave it to PDQ! I'm an oboist and can't wait to have some fun with a pianist friend. I'll ask him to play the Bach, then I'll throw in the other stuff. I can't wait to see the expression on his face! 😆
7:05 the best illustration of enharmony between dominant 7th and german augemted 6th
Was this composed in 1965?
1959
@@pdqbachfan Oh, that's good to know. I've added this video to my "New music for early instruments" UA-cam playlist.
Somewhere, Spike Jones, Peter Schickele, Jo Stafford, Paul Weston and Kinky Friedman are sharing drinks, cigars and laughs while basking in the reflection of the enjoyment we all have experienced due to their talent and hard work. We won't see their likes again for a long time, if ever. New scores and performances like this show the spirit is still alive. Bravo!
Um... you know that that's not the Hindenburg in the picture, right? The Hindenburg wasn't a US Navy ship. That's either the Akron or the Macon - ZRS 4 and 5 respectively.
What does this have to do with pdq??
It comes from the first ever humorous concert at Juilliard. It also featured the Quodlibet as well as an early version of the Concerto for Horn and Hardart.
Is there a picture or chart of what notes are produced by what means? I would really like to turn the hardart into a SFZ virtual instrument.
"S. 1"?
Yes. “S. 1”.
Schickele was so brilliant. Pastiche on this level is not easy.
To be able to create jokes and mischief with an art that has no spoken expression to explain the humour it must be by someone who has total mastery of the art form. Cheers from Downunder🇦🇺🎹👍
Another 1 I wasn't familiar with
Julliard? I thought they were supposed to be accredited!
The narration is one of those instances of people thinking they are being frightfully clever but are actually incredibly annoying. Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
I listened to PDQ Bach when I was a teenager. I am now 71 and still listening~!
Ah yes, another beautiful quodlibet
To think I was just engrossing myself in Copland's Rodeo this past week and this is uploaded. Couldn't be better timed!
WTH Schickele! also, I think this smile might need to be surgically removed from my face if I want to express any other emotion tonight...
any chance you can find the full sneaky pete and the wolf somewhere?
It’s on Cd as well at iTunes. Not sure if I’ll upload it.
Sneaky Pete and the Wolf is already on UA-cam. Search for it.
@@hananc Yeah, that’s what makes me apprehensive about it.
LOL- nailed Prokofiev's ever shifting key centers, and Pops Hoedown as L. Chambers points out. Lots of pentatonic fodder out here tunewise speaking. Yes, he is missed. Great find!
A fun homage to Richard Hayman's "Pops Hoedown."
I prefer the gherkin. It has a sweeter sound 🥒
What fun.
God, how I miss Dr. Schickele. A giant in the musical world.
😄 Thank you!
Knowing how Shengjun Wang is, I know he (or she) is going to be the first to comment. If so, I'll give you one - at 1:21 is a round by Mozart called "Alles schweiget". Schickele learned it via his father when he was a boy.
Knock knock. Who is there? Ida. Ida who? I da-ream of Jeanie with the light brown hair. How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? One, but the light bulb has to really want to change. What is the question to which the answer is "Washington Irving"? What was the name of our first President, Seymour? What is the question to which the answer is "9W"? Do you spell your name with a "V", Mr. Wagner? What is the question to which the answer is "chicken teriyaki"? What is the name of the only living kamikaze pilot? What is the question to which the answer is "Dr. Livingston, I presume"? What is your full name, Dr. Presume? So this guy who works at an aquarium gets summoned by his boss, who is looking very worried, and she says to him: "I just walked by the dolphin tank, and they're feeling very amorous. They're doing all sorts of things to each other. And, the trouble is, in less than an hour, we've got three busloads of second graders coming. We can't have them watching those naughty dolphins behaving as if they were in a porno flick. Now there's only one thing that acts as an antiaphrodisiac for dolphins, and that's the meat of baby seagulls, so I want you to go down to the seashore, catch yourself some baby seagulls, put them in this bag, and hurry on back, but be careful. A lion escaped from the zoo this morning, and though he was heavily sedated, he still just might be dangerous. OK, get going, and make it snappy." So the guy takes a shortcut through the forest to the seashore. He fills the bag with baby seagulls, and he's walking back through the forest, when he sees the lion! And it is lying across the path directly in front of him! It's too late to run away, and the feline does seem very placid, so, summoning up all his courage, he steps across the lion! Nothing happens. And so, with much relief, the guy begins to resume his journey, when, all of a sudden, a policeman steps out of the forest. He grabs the guy by the arm and says to him "You're under arrest!" The guy can't believe it. He says "Tell me, officer. What's the charge?" And the policeman says "Transporting young gulls across a staid lion for immoral porpoises."
if only Peter could have done an album with Neil Innes, our world would be complete: The Rutles at Royal Hoople Halll (yes, it is spelled with 3 r’s)…
Thank you, although I also have a question: is that one of the Beatles, with that Apple bag there as well? I know this album came over a decade after they’d broken up (and “the look” here is definitely later sixties) but I was just wondering if perhaps Prof. Schickele used one of The Beatles’s old photos
A libretto would be wonderful for these gems 🎶
Is that comment ("Andnate con Mr. Moto") verbatim, or a typo? (such as "Andante")
I was under the initial impression the sound effects were intentional.... (?) But what first sparked laughter was "S. Under 18".
About the time of the finale, with the occasional interjections of dogs "arfing," I looked up from what I was doing to view this webpage, and saw the title: “Wachet Arf!” Laughter erupted. :-)
I really hoped for a higher register. 😂
ah... the sourest of notes... needs more brine
In five years this will probably have 12m views
The ultimate musical sacrifice.
thank god. it doesnt sound like a real piccolo.
shape of a pickle, not piccolo!
Dr. Schickele had a penchant for inventing goof instruments like the Tromboon, Double Reed Music Stand, Lasso D'Amore... So this green thing in the shape of a pickle fits his incredible imagination.
I know. I am remarking about the written description. @@The_DuMont_Network
I grew up listening to Professor Pete! My mom and I listened to classical music a lot, and I have her sense of humor, so when I brought the cassette of this home from the library, we laughed our codas off! 😂
Where's the D minor prelude chord progression from?
O. M. G. the Till Eulenspiegel Quote!
Fabulous
What's the Bb major prelude based off?
B section of Rondo Alla Turca
@@pdqbachfan Thank you
