Johann Mattheson (28 September 1681 – 17 April 1764) was a German polymath, but chiefly known today as a music theorist and composer.
Moon Unit Zappa (b. 28 September 1967) is an American actress and author. She has occasionally been involved in musical projects. She is the daughter of Frank Zappa.
Raging Furiously Together
Perhaps you remember the scandal
Of Mattheson dueling with Handel.
We’re told that young Mattheson’s blade
Hit a button on Handel’s brocade,
And thus did Dame Fortune contrive
To keep G. F. Handel alive,
For it would have been sad to deny a
Musical world its Messiah.
Query
Was Moon Unit Zappa
In Phi Beta Kappa?
