Said an orchestra player, “Alas!

This week we have got Philip Glass,

And so we’ll endeavor

To play triads forever,

And I wonder if this too shall pass.”

Concerning Gioseffo Zarlino

There’s a lot of his bio that wé know,

But the sources are torn

About when he was born,

Which befuddled the little bambino.
