Audio Samples

Listen to The Ill-Conceived P.D.Q. Bach Anthology:  The Hearer’s Digest Condensed Version.  This Condensed Version gives you the intangible essence of the original recording in one small, easy-to-swallow capsule summary. The hyper folks at Hearer’s Digest have created this sample by slicing, dicing, and splicing, until it somewhat resembles excerpts of the original recording that are “severely truncated, but shorter.”

This Hearer’s Digest Condensed Version is made of excerpts from the following:  This is Professor Pete—“Howdy there” and “My heart” from Oedipus Tex—1712 Overture—Introduction to The Musical Sacrifice—Prelude in C major from The Short-Tempered Clavier—Little Bunny Hop Hop Hop from Four Folk Song Upsettings—Introduction—Classical Rap—Simply Grand Minuet from Grand Serenade for an Awful Lot of Winds & Percussion.
