Schickele on a Lark

Comment
Peter Schickele may have found fame making fun of Baroque-styled European conventions, but his serious music is firmly rooted at home — often referencing Blues, Jazz, and other indigenous styles of American music. Tonight we hear his String Sextet, which takes a down-home country approach to one of the most traditional of musical forms. As featured on the album Schickele on a Lark, the Sextet is performed by (surprise) the Lark String Quartet and guests.
