What Are You Listening to Right Now?

That's the reason they don't announce what song they're playing for sometimes upward of an hour? The only thing that's accomplishing is insuring that the artist rarely gets credit and the label loses sales. For the record, the PBS DJs in our area rarely talk over the beginning or end of the music they're playing unless it's to cut into the news. All the DJs at commercial stations do, as well as overlap the ends and beginnings of songs in the sets, and I understand that it's to prevent recording, but this doesn't happen at the PBS stations. All they're accomplishing is lost revenue for the musicians.

I believe the artists, producers, record label receive a small royalty every time the song is played on the radio. And there is probably clauses in their agreements about how, when, frequency of presentation. New artists give their songs away over the air.

PBS may offer more public domain material or have different contracts.

Then again, I could be wrong. The industry constantly changes.

About mash-ups
this is the oldest I know

Variatio 30. Quodlibet. a 1 Clav. + the aria da capo




The Quodlibet as it appears in the first edition
This quodlibet is based on multiple German folk songs,[9] two of which are Ich bin solang nicht bei dir g'west, ruck her, ruck her ("I have so long been away from you, come closer, come closer") and Kraut und Rüben haben mich vertrieben, hätt mein' Mutter Fleisch gekocht, wär ich länger blieben ("Cabbage and turnips have driven me away, had my mother cooked meat, I'd have opted to stay"). The others have been forgotten.[10] The Kraut und Rüben theme, under the title of La Capricciosa, had previously been used by Dietrich Buxtehude for his thirty-two partite in G major, BuxWV 250.[11] Bach's biographer Forkel explains the Quodlibet by invoking a custom observed at Bach family reunions (Bach's relatives were almost all musicians):
As soon as they were assembled a chorale was first struck up. From this devout beginning they proceeded to jokes which were frequently in strong contrast. That is, they then sang popular songs partly of comic and also partly of indecent content, all mixed together on the spur of the moment. ... This kind of improvised harmonizing they called a Quodlibet, and not only could laugh over it quite whole-heartedly themselves, but also aroused just as hearty and irresistible laughter in all who heard them.

I once read a book (fiction) called The Goldberg Variations. It's unusual for me in that the only thing I can remember about it is the title itself. I have no idea what it was about. I can't even recall whether I liked it or not (my memory has, from previous experience, not been noted for using quality as a basis for its reliability ).

Cheers,
Marc

Ciao, is nice to see you. there was this rich oldish gentleman. he employed a young harpsicord player (Goldberg was his name) in his estate. Obviously the old man *was* rich. He asked Bach to write some pieces that Goldberg could play at night to ease his recurring headaches, and distract him from the pain. 40 pieces of gold. I like best played by Evgeni Koroliov.

Just back from the public library, where I borrowed a couple of CDs for the first time. Letting Eva's voice carry me away.
