Seller's Description

Capriccio "La Pucelle De New Orleans"

The Maid of New Orleans (S. under 18)
for two flutes, two oboes, clarinet, two bassoons, trumpet, and trombone
by PDQ Bach (1807-1742)?
Edited, with abandon, by Professor Peter Schickele

One of the most important people in PDQ Bach's musical life was a nobleman from Normandy names Count Pointercount. He had ancestors on both sides of the English Channel, and through him, PDQ was exposed not only to the music of the Elizabethans and Purcell, but also to the wealth of French folk music that dotted, even double-dotted the Norman countryside in those innocent, pre-mass media days. The Capriccio "La Pucelle de New Orleans" is based on a song composed in that charmingly anonymous folk fashion, by soldiers stationed in the title city when it was still a French colonial burg; the song's lyrics, presented here for possible subtext purposes only (the Capriccio is purely instrumental) is as follows:

La pucelle de New Orleans, do you speak,

La pucelle de New Orleans, do you speak,

La pucelle de New Orleans, sat down in some pork and beans,

Hinky dinky do you speak.

A very funny, I think you'll agree, song. 

Score and parts are Brand New (except for m library stamp).

Over the next few months, I will continue listing a large number of scores for orchestra, string orchestra, wind band, and chamber ensembles that I collected over my 40-year conducting career. I will also be listing most of the (700+) books on music and musicians. If you are looking for something in particular, it is possible that I have it. Message me with a request, and it it is in my collection, I will add it to my store.

Shipping can be combined on books and scores. Message me for a combined invoice prior to paying.

Although new to eBid, I've been an seller for MANY years, but their changes are making it increasingly difficult to sell. I have 100% positive feedback on (seller name martyrp), so bid here with confidence.
