Peter Schickele, Composer and Gleeful Sire of P.D.Q. Bach, Dies at 88

He wrote more than 100 symphonic, choral, solo instrumental and chamber works. But he was better known, and celebrated, as a musical parodist. Who can forget the “Concerto for Horn and Hardart”?

    His fugue for colliape, aka “The Toot Fugue” was wonderful.

    His “Eine Kline Nichtmuzik” ( or something like that, sorry for my aweful German ), also.

    His piece “For 2 Unfriendly Groups of Instruments” was magic.

    Peter Schickele, and your University of Southern North Dakota, at Hoople ( which was a barn ), thank you for some good help making our world better.
