Odd Music-Experimental music, unique unusual musical instruments. Animusic. Make Me Play a Song! (INTERACTIVE PIANO) John Stump, composer of Faerie’s Aire and Death Waltz « Lost in. My uncle, John Arthur Stump, who was my father’s youngest brother, died on January 20, 2006.
His memorial service was held at a Vedanta monastery in Hollywood, where my other uncle (known there as “Jnana Chaitanya,” but to me as Uncle Dave) serves as a monk. I was not at the ceremony, but my family brought back some memorabilia from the service and from Uncle John’s “estate,” including a large piece of paper densely printed with musical notation. It was a sheet of music for a work entitled “Faerie’s Aire and Death Waltz (from ‘A Tribute to Zdenko G. Fibich’)” that John had put together, obviously as an unplayable and satirical parody.
