Yes. I recall a memorable 16-part version Ich bin der Velt ... Bruckner and Janacek are not at the top of my list, but Bach, now you are talking!

Maybe you'll be lucky enough to sing Janacek's Glagolitic Mass one day...

I prefer his cousin who kept the full family name, Burt Bacharch.

You never know your luck in the big city. Can you compare it to another work? Verdi Requiem? Bach Mass in B Minor? Mahler 8th?

Mantovani maybe, but in some ways I prefer Burt Reynolds ... :( And don't get me started on the difference between a Bach chorale and a bacchanal ...

It was written in the late 1920's. It's a Pagan Mass, if you like, it's full of passion and joy in life. It's exuberant like Verdi's Requiem is at times, nothing like Bach except in its sense of exhilaration, and, thankfully, nothing like Mahler's 8 which, to my ears is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The only decent music in it is  the orchestral prelude to the Second Part. No, Janacek is more down to earth and passionate.

There's really no-one to compare him to, you know. I suggest - if you have Spotify - to listen to it, or, there are performances on You Tube.

Not trying to impress, young man, just responding to a question from Red and Bluebeard, by the sounds of it, the only other chap of culture on this site. ( Demonland is fast becoming Boganville! I am attempting to lead you bogans to the path of culture and beauty. )

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
