"Darnelle, did you have a burrito for lunch?"
I uncovered this score last spring but didn't fully understand it until now. It is my NEW favorite piece of music of all time! It is entitled "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz" (from A Tribute to Zdenko G. Fibich). The words and music are credited to John Stump, arranged by Accident. Here are some of the features in this beautifully moving piece. Composer's note: it is based on a Cro-magnon skinning chant.
The coda is easily the most exciting part with the following explanations/markings in the score:
Publisher's note: The composer was born under a blue August sky in a small fur trading village in northern Lapland. There he learned the art of shrapnel-making.
Stylistic note: Re-coat all the piñatas with marmalade until the ox drivers have discovered the tubes of anti-matter won't fit into some Barbie® dolls.

lol, to be random, I was sort of bored and somehow found myself on your page. To be the weird dork I am, you seem really cool and it's a lot of fun to read your entries. So yeah... Woof, woof, and I'm off.
