P.D.Q. Bach - Uptown Hoedown
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~!
To think I was just engrossing myself in Copland's Rodeo this past week and this is uploaded. Couldn't be better timed!
God, how I miss Dr. Schickele. A giant in the musical world.
Ah yes, another beautiful quodlibet
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!
What fun.
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...
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.
😄 Thank you!
any chance you can find the full sneaky pete and the wolf somewhere?
