(Un) Official George Gershwin

Aren't we all just looking for our Ira?

[georg-fred-handel-official]

Me, feat. Questionable Intonation™

[classical-crap]

I have a betta fish named George Gershfin, and one of my professor thinks that's the funniest thing ever, so sometimes in class he'll just go, "what's your fishes name again?" Wait for me to tell him, then start laughing. I have names lined up for many fish in the future, including (but not limited to) strafinsky, and shostakofish.

my betta is called shosty the fishy and this post made me very happy

[gershwin-official]

I'm glad my name is punny enough for a fish my dream has come true-I have gershwon.

Everyone else: WE LOVE

YOU, CAGEY BOI

[valeroyeaux]

Which American Composer should you fight?

John Philip Sousa: Will you win? Probably not. He was in the marines, so he’ll probably kick your ass. But do it. Punch John Philip Sousa in the face. For all of us. I will pay you to fight Sousa.

George Gershwin: You could probably win this fight, but what will it accomplish? Nothing. He’ll just cry and you’ll hate yourself for making him cry.

Leonard Bernstein: Are you kidding? Have you ever watched Lenny conduct? Have you seen his music and time signature changes? He’ll kick your ass.

Aaron Copland: DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT FIGHT AARON COPLAND. HE IS SIX FEET OF PURE, CONCENTRATED ANGER. AARON COPLAND WILL DESTROY YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU LOVE.

John Cage: Fight John Cage. Just do it. You know you want to after that 4'33 bullshit. Use your rage to fuel you and you will win. Just remember: people buy sheet music for 4'33.

John Williams: Don’t fight John Williams. He will crush you with his massive amounts of money. You will die, suffocating under the checks for Hedwig’s Theme and The Imperial March.

Louis Moreau Gottschalk: You will definitely win this fight. No one really knows who he is, but fight him. There is no chance you will lose

Eric Whitacre: ABORT MISSION. I’m like 80% Eric Whitacre is some sort of God incarnate and you don’t want to incur his wrath.

Charles Ives: Do not fight Charles Ives. He is a precious cinnamon roll, too good for this world. Too pure. Just let him continue writing his weird music. He hurts no one.

[percyaldridgegrainger-official]

@charlesives-official you are a cinnamon roll

[charlesives-official]

I am loved

[hexaviolet]

Philip Glass: Do not fight him. You will be stuck in an endless loop of fighting. Do not fight him. You will be stuck in an endless loop of fighting. Do not fight him. You will be stuck in an endless loop of fighting. Do not fight him. You will be stuck in an endless loop of fighting. Do not fight him. You will be stuck in an endless loop of fighting. Do not fight him. You will be stuck in an endless loop of fighting. Do not fight him. You will be stuck in an endless loop of fighting.

Reason #2690 Not To Vote For Trump

He thinks music funding should be cut more.

[ifthepantheonallows]

Reblog for all of your favorite musicians or people you know are in band. If music funds are cut further, many dreams will be cut as well

[georg-fred-handel-official]

Someone improved this massively..

[collectivesighs]

Republicans generally don’t see the point of music, unless it’s jingoistic, because it doesn’t kill things.

[schrodinger-and-sons]

Does anyone have a source for this? I wanna post the article on FB.

[gershwin-official]

I cannot yet find a source for music funding, but he is cutting the education department- http://thinkprogress.org/education/2015/08/17/3691685/trump-university/

Has 'An American In Paris' Been Honking Up The Wrong Key?

The composition is so popular that old-timey taxi horns Gershwin called for are rented by orchestras all over the country. But a musicologist says they've been using the wrong ones.

[gershwin-official]

I'm not sure how I feel about this...
