Description
This curious and comical quodlibet contains misremembered quotes from three main sources: the tune to the Good the Bad and the Ugly, the original Batman films and the student drinking song Gaudeamus Igitur - it is as if a music graduate returns to his college for a good Gaudy celebration and then, in a slightly drunken state, goes to see the two above-mentioned films, and finally writes down his reminiscences.
Obviously the tunes have to be misremembered, for copyright reasons, but an audience familiar with the themes will still recognise the quotes.
The zip file contains score and parts.
