Schickele, Peter S Composers Composition


Twentieth century American composer Peter Schickele (1935-) was exposed to the satirical jazz of Spike Jones during his eighth year. Also a serious student of music, he blended the two into his fictitious alter ego, P. D. Q. Bach. The first work assigned to P. D. Q. was a parody of J. S. Bach's Coffee Cantata entitled the Sanka Cantata. Schickele wrote a number of serious works, including commissioned pieces for symphony orchestras and produced humorous works and parodies under his own name, as well as that of P. D. Q. Bach.
