-
- Not knowing anything about Oh Calcutta, I will mention that Peter
- Schickele does write serious music under his own name, as well as not-
- so-serious stuff under the "PDQ Bach" pseudonym. In fact, I've heard
- a rumor that he's giving up doing PDQ Bach and concentrating on his
- more serious stuff.
-
- For what it's worth, I got PDQ Bach's "Oedipus Tex and other choral
- calamities" over Christmas break. Pretty fun...the title piece is
- pretty fun, as is a choral cantata entitled "Knock Knock".
-
- Probably Not Worth The Bandwith,
