- P.D.Q. Bach - Uptown Hoedown
(Yes, this is a work under Schickele's name)
Sequenced by Cornelius Robinson
Playback w/ Sibelius Ultimate & NotePerformer
“In June, 1993, Toyota sponsored a comedy festival in New York that included a wide range of venues and genres. My own contribution to a program of musical humor at Carnegie Hall included Sneaky Pete and the Wolf, a revisionist, west-of-the-Pecos version of the Prokofiev classic. Since I was last on the program, I thought it would be nice to have a zippy little encore, which is why Uptown Hoedown has the same basic instrumentation as Prokofiev’s work. It was completed at 5:00 a.m. on Monday, June 7, 1993, and premiered at about 10:25 p.m. on Thursday, June 10, 1993. There is a good possibility that Uptown Hoedown holds the distinction of being the only symphonic piece ever premiered in Carnegie Hall by a conductor wearing full cowboy regalia, including chaps.” - Schickele

I listened to PDQ Bach when I was a teenager. I am now 71 and still listening~!
God, how I miss Dr. Schickele. A giant in the musical world.
To think I was just engrossing myself in Copland's Rodeo this past week and this is uploaded. Couldn't be better timed!
Ah yes, another beautiful quodlibet
What fun.
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!
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.
A fun homage to Richard Hayman's "Pops Hoedown."
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...
😄 Thank you!
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.
