Now that's what I call a piece of music. Thanks, Maciej for the pointer. Prints are apparently for sale via faeriesaire.com

I keep wanting to pick out my favorite bits and then I keep finding more that are my new favorite bits. Although, "Only felons may kill the oafish audience members" and "Darnelle, did you have a burrito for lunch?" are current standouts.

IT'S A MUSICAL
TRIBULATION
CHART!!!!

It's not that performing this would bring on the Apocalypse! IT IS THE APOCALYPSE!!!

I give it a 7. It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it !

"Release the penguins."

LOL.

This is awesome.

Totally...that one was AWESOME.

And "Like (or as) the Rolling Stones"

"OK, who ate the resin?"

LMFAO!!

In 1 they did not tell us what type of mute we were using. Are we supposed to use a straight mute, cup mute, wow wow mute, bucket mute or a felt bag! It would change the whole feel of the piece depending which we use! How am I supposed to play my trumpet if I don't know what they want.

Also where is the cow bell? I think the penguins might have taken it.

[ambrosewandles.livejournal.com]

They were so excited to see us. Yesterday we went to the school we've been going to but today we went to a different school.

wow

umm i am soo glad that i dont have to play that wow that whould be crazy but now that i see the music i really want to see it played

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

Holy cricket...is that even humanly possible?!

[wantingtobe.livejournal.com]

It's not even musically possible. You would have to find a way to put 4 half notes that don't overlap into one 4/4 measure, and you'd need to find a way to play them in that bar, but back in the last system and also in the next one.

[tigerofsanpedro.livejournal.com]

Somebody should put that in a computer program and see what it sounds like. I want an MP3 of it just out of curiosity.

[(Anonymous)]

Basically I just put the first two measures of this into finale... which wouldn't do this justice at all (especially since I don't know how to do instrumentation and scoring (That's what you get for being a vocalist) but it sounds like something that five 4 year olds would play on a piano... Except that the music was written down..

[bloody-marja.livejournal.com]

Yes, I really wonder how it sounds..... but it's so f*kingly hilarious!! )) Show me that person who wrote it!!! ))) Oh oh, suffering cats...

If arm falls off, reattach and play much slower.

[(Anonymous)]

ok this is simply hilarious. Letter J makes my head spin. imagine actually playing that. crazy!

[dandydand.livejournal.com]

I'd better start practicing right now! :D

Release the penguins! :)

HMm, I think I like the first one better....

[horusrogue.livejournal.com]

I will try to put this into a program. Give me like a month.

actually, Ringo said he has blisters on his fingers. They played helter skelter I think 19 times before getting it the way they wanted, I believe.

you can (sort of) listen to this composition

[kipito.livejournal.com]

you can (sort of) listen to this composition: found a midi of "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz."

http://10e.org/file/death.mid

it was on a japanese-language blog, titled "2ch news flash vip blog." the transcriber has ignored all text (including vaguely comprehensible tempo and volume notes, like "fffff") and input only the notes themselves. nonetheless, a valiant effort -- and yes, it sounds just the way you expect.

here's the blog's address, in case you want to thank the author:
