Perle Vision


Is the musical world in a whirl

Because it’s the birthday of Perle?

I doubt that it cares,

But I’m sending up flares ---

Let the virtual banner unfurl!


The works of the New Viennese

Were written without tonic keys.

George Perle was unvexed,

And explained in a text,

How to love such composers as these.
