A Toast!

Lift your glass, where e’er you are

And join a toast for Maurice Jarre,

Whose music played behind the screen

Of many films by David Lean.

Ear Worm

A man who thought Schoenberg was numbing,

And resisted the thought of succumbing,

Discovered one day

With a touch of dismay

It was Schoenberg he found himself humming.

Warnung

Said Schoenberg to Berg, “C’est la guerre!

Use caution, and buyer beware!

My score won’t be cheery,

It’s scary and eerie,

And I’m calling it Pierrot Lunaire.”
