In Reply to: A little OT; do you have one song that you recall fondly from childhood? posted by grantv on August 10, 2010 at 12:30:36:
A record of my grandmother's, something from the 20's. I can still remember the tune, but I don't know what it was called or who performed it, if I ever new. Just one of those things a kid plays again and again.
Also, the original cast album of "My Fair Lady," with the picture of God pulling the puppet strings of Shaw pulling the puppet strings of Eliza on the front. The significance of which completely eluded me, of course. For some reason, I really loved that. It's easy to date, it was 1964 so I would have been nine or ten.
And finally, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. I do know who wrote that. And who conducted, Sir Adrian Boult, because the album (which had the 40th Symphony on the flip side) was around for years. My love of Mozart went back to infancy, my father tells me that at 6 months I'd "dance" to Mozart in my crib, but not to other composers. More understandable perhaps now that there's that research that says that the fetus can distinguish between consonance and dissonance in the womb.
And then there's also my own Opus 1, a clumsy canon in contrary motion (because that's the way my left and right hands worked) which while harmonically coarse with a particularly nasty naked fifth nevertheless shows that I had quite a grasp of symmetry relationships and knew how to write a serviceable tune. I can still play it, and my mom wrote it down in a little book, in case posterity ever needs evidence that I was no Mozart.
