Stairway to Heaven, Orchestral Variations
For publicity, the University of New South Wales commissioned orchestral variations on the classic Led Zepplin tune, Stairway to Heaven. Each segment is done in the style of a different composer. The Holst’s Mars, Bringer of War was funny enough that it made me laugh. The segments in the style of Bizet and Glenn Miller are quite good as well.
The idea isn’t that new. An Australian TV show once ran a contest asking for submissions for as many variations on Stairway to Heaven as they could. The result was an album with 22 tracks, most of which are deliciously absurd. How do I know about it? My friend Tom Duff has every absurd CD ever stamped.
Enjoy Tom!

Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
