Subj: [kl] Recognize this musical notation joke?
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 1998 19:49:08 -0400

I have a 20th generation photocopy of a mock page of the most
outlandish excesses of musical notation, with "performance
indications" like "adagio cantabile with a rock tempo feel",
"light explosives now", and "add sopranos and begin turning flame
slightly higher".

Anyone recognize where this comes from and where to get
a better copy? Just the thing for rehearsals for
a Young Composers' Concert...

The top LH corner says "Based on a Cro-magnon skinning chant"

Thanks for all pointers, Martin
