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.
