April 6 - André Previn (The Musical Birthday Series)

The late André Previn (6 April 1929 – 28 February 2019) was one of the most versatile and accomplished musicians of our time.  One hopes that the following dismal scene exists only in my imagination.

In Paradisum

When André Previn

Ascended to heaven,

He found he’d expected much more.

The Perpetual Piety

Singing Society

Provided no variety,

And scoring for harps was a bore.
