musical theory

Musical theory is vital knowledge for anyone wishing to compose music involving more than half a dozen instruments. It is recommended knowledge for anyone wishing to arrange music for more than half a dozen instruments. Anyone who writes music for more than about half a dozen instruments without knowledge of musical theory is inevitably either writing an arrangement of a simpler piece or composing modern music.

Serving suggestion: Musical theory best served with at least 2 years experience with actual musical instrument.

John spent two and a half years at the Vienna Conservatorium of Music learning musical theory.

42

According to Biblical genealogies found in the gospels there are 42 generations between Abraham and Jesus. Christians contend that Jesus is the answer to 'the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything'.

42 could be considered an example of truth being stranger than fiction*.

*Or possibly just an interesting co-incidence.
