HEAR what the BUZZ is about!
- "P.D.Q. Bach is the only dead composer who can still be commissioned. We should all be grateful that VocalEssence had the temerity and pizzazz to commission the opera Oedipus Tex, and stage it as if it were a real opera. Here's to forty years of singing outside the box!"Peter Schickele (a.k.a. P.D.Q. Bach)
