Karl Miller: >I would be most interested in seeing some titles of bad music. I am just >sincerely curious. Actually, I heard one last night: the premiere of Frank Proto's Citizen Soldier (words by John Chennault; Paul Winfield, narrator), commissioned for the opening of the D-Day Museum in New Orleans. It was one of those "Let's throw a shovel-ful of stuff against the wall and see what sticks" pieces - a loose accompaniment to a narration (a lot like the score to a Dragnet episode, come to think of it). Unfortunately, it was preceded by Copland's terse and incisive Fanfare for the Common Man. I emphasize that it wasn't bad in terms of technique - the orchestration, for example, was competent. Proto knows what the lowest note of the bassoon is. The piece just added up to a big zero. Steve Schwartz
