If you think Nietzsche killed God - think again! ;P

... It was LEOPOLD MOZART! :nod:


Indeed, written around 1753 for Benedictine monks and finally recorded in 2007,

one of 12 oratorios by our unbaked philosopher Leopold (2 survive complete),


you can listen to the recording HERE (Astronio): :holly: :headphones: by crulaclassical-music-online.net/en/…

and find a rudimentary 1919 explanation of *Gottesmord* here: :bulletgreen: archive.org/details/ProblemeDe…

which is a book interesting enough for Wikipedia NOT to include it in Reik's list of works =P

Air Guitar Hero by de-Mote Leopold and his librettist Weiser are intensely observing the age-old inner monologue

between the Man and his Reason - and a little thing we in all forms increasingly lack today,

a Conscience; = projected guilt felt through transference ~ of Murder of Christ.

... A thesis definitely inviting a lively debate, especially around April!


... While many apparently think Leopold's Oratorio sounds like one of his sons works -
~ I hear music firmly and properly stuck in a Batch of Baroque, go Leo! :w00t:

~ And you?! :music: :groove: revamp by Banjelerp ~ What do you hear???  ... You decide!!!! :holly::woohoo::holly:

Had I not known, in spots I might have thought it was PDQ Bach.  I can see where Wolfie got his sense of humor.  I can picture Leopold and Wolfie having great fun trying to top each other writing musical jokes.  I like the main theme at the begining repeated a couple times.  I thought the whole thing was a frolic in the park.
