So I guess that's that?

Probably the right move, but are the students really incapable of doing it without the rhythmic assistance?

Its the first measure of the first bar and the last bar of "For Boston."

I'm sorry, I know this is but "measure" and "bar" mean the same thing, which makes this totally nonsensical.

Sorry... carry on.

The guy asked a question that you obviously know the answer to-- why don't you just answer the damned thing instead of slamming the poor sod who does attempt to answer it?

I like the song....this makes me sad although the chant is really stupid.

Sorry, Herr Doktor Professor Gustav Mahler. Should I have said that its the first 6 notes of the first bar and the last 7 notes of the last bar? The guy asked a question that you obviously know the answer to-- why don't you just answer the damned thing instead of slamming the poor sod who does attempt to answer it?

Or you can just stand still for a minute while I jam your horn up your arse. Either way.

He was a high school music teacher, if I remember correctly. I think he taught in a"Gymnasium", as they call their secondary schools.

He did work under Wagner for a time, and his music was banned in the rest of Europe during WWII, but "Herr Docktor" might be a bit much. Don't think he was a high school teacher - most of his career was leading orchestras, and he did a little composing.

I have always liked Mahler. Some people hate him because his music sounds bombastic or like a movie score, but I really like him. Before he retired Ozawa took the BSO through all of Mahler's 10(?) symphonies. Beautiful. I don't know where I learned (erroneously, it turns out) that he was a high school teacher. but I thought that.

The term "Herr Doktor Professor" has nothing to do with Nazis-- its just the highest academic title in the German/Austrian system.

Sounds like Nazis to me. Like "Herr Docktor Mengele."

One of my BC High classmates spent about 15 years at BC working on a PhD in German history. He was a German-American, and he fancied himself a real academician. He wore tweeds, wing tips, the whole bit. He was a teaching assistant at BC forever, so much so that faculty started calling him a tenured grad student. Andy Buni and Tom O'Connor started calling him "Herr Doktor Professor" because the airs that he put on were absurd.

Critics have said that about a lot of the late Romantics. I don't like Mahler as much as I like some of the others, especially the pre-Revolution Russians, but I don't undertstand that criticism at all. A movie score does not adhere to traditional forms, which the Romantics did (while pushing the envelope some, I admit).

I agree. I really like the late English guys like Vaughn Williams and Stanford as well. I'm OK with just about everything until Stravinsky. Listening to Stravinsky is like having an epileptic fit in your ears.
