I remember when I was a kid, I had an eight-track of The Ventures playing
classical music on guitars and drums and things. The two tunes I remember most
were Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring and Peter and the Wolf.
By the way, why is it every time I call this system, I either get, "Connection
timed out" or I browse around for a while, and then information stops coming,
because the system is down.

(John, I assume you are telnetting to us, or using Backtalk over the
Web; in either case, Grex has a slow and creaky network connection,
but it is due for an upgrade very soon.)

Back to the "Pines" thing. If I recall correctly (it has been about two
years since I played that peice, so I could be wrong... I often am....)
It is scored so that there are simply instructions that it is to sound
like a bird. When we did it, we got one of those silly whistles that
kids get that you put water in the bottom of and they make the tweeting
noise. It worked out okay... when I saw the Nashville Symphony do
"Pines" last year, they had one of the flutes make bird like noises.
In the first performance, they did, in fact, use a phonograph. It was
an early record player, and it was very scratchy, to the point where
more scratching and less birds were heard. This is one of the reasons
that most modern performances replace the recorded version with some
sort of performer.

Live performances, OK. Recordings will use a tape of bird sounds.

Re way back to #0:
There are many instances when I've heard a bit a classical music borrowed or
reused, but for some reason I can only think of very few right now...
Foremost in my mind is from Sondheim's "Into the Woods". The chorus of the
first song in the musical ("Into the woods, it's time to go...") sounds
remarkably like the marchlike Allegro section of Ravel's Concerto for Left
Hand for a few bars.
In the background music of a Japanese cartoon I saw once, the opening to
Shostakovitch's fifth symphony is played note for note, as far as I can tell,
only an octave higher.
These seem to be the only two I can think of right now, but more might come
to me later.
