...first portion of the symphony, which starts out as quiet as death, grew louder then softer as the piece progressed, and never let its ominous undertones escape. Before too long, the familiar melody of "Frere Jacques" creeps into the orchestra, seducing one section at a time until every instrument had slowly succumbed. This movement is known to parody a funeral march, but what is being parodied--the funeral or the children's song--remains a morbid mystery...
...everyone in the Gilbert and Sullivan (G. and S.) Players' fall production of The Gondoliers were just a little bit louder and clearer, the show could be not just charming and entertaining, as it is now, but amazing also. The Gondoliers is already opening night after night to sold-out crowds, but all those crowds deserve something a little more whole-hearted and fast-paced--something completely attainable simply by cranking up the volume, speaking more clearly and hamming it up a little more.

Even some instrumentals similar to Creedence Clearwater slide through in "Black Progress...
WASHINGTON: The anti-Newt rumbling on the Hill is getting louder. Two days after the election in which they ended up down by five seats, House Republicans have found a scapegoat in Speaker Gingrich - not to mention most of their leadership. While the situation is extremely fluid, one proposed slate of candidates is slowly gaining currency: Bob Livingston for Speaker, replacing Newt; Steve Largent for majority leader, ousting Dick Armey; and Jennifer Dunn for conference chair, knocking John Boehner aside. Tom DeLay, the party whip, would keep his job. Livingston, currently the Appropriations committee chair, is hardly anyone's idea...
