The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

ch.
Washed up on
the Phaeacian shore after
a shipwreck, Odysseus is
introduced to King
Alcinous. As he sits in
the palace, he tells the
Phaeacians of his
wanderings since leaving
Troy. Odysseus and his
men fi rst landed on the
island of the Cicones
wherethey sacked the city
of Ismarus. From there,
great storms swept them
to the land of the
hospitable Lotus Eaters.
Then they sailed to the
land of the Cyclopes.
Odysseus and twelve of
his men entered the cave
of Polyphemus. After the
single-eyed giantmade
handfuls of his men into
meals, Odysseus fi nally
defeated him. He got him
drunk and once he had
fallen asleep, he and his
men stabbed a glowing
spike into the
Cyclop’s single
eye, completely blinding
him. They escaped by
clinging to the belliesof
some sheep. Once aboard,
Odysseus taunted the
Cyclop by revealing him
his true identity.
Enraged, Polyphemus
hurled rocks at the ship,
trying to sink it. After
leaving the
Cyclopes’ island,
they arrived at the home
of Aeolus, ruler of the
winds.Aeolus off ered
Odysseus a bag trapping
all the strong winds
within except one - the
one which would take him
straight back to Ithaca.
As the ship came within
sight of Ithaca, the
crewmen, curious about
the bag, decided to open
it. The winds escapedand
stirred up a storm.
Odysseus and his crew
came to the land of the
cannibalistic
Laestrygonians, who sank
all but one of the ships.
The survivors went next
to Aeaea, the island of
the witch-goddess Circe.
Odysseus sent out a
scouting party butCirce
turned them into pigs.
With the help of an
antidote the god Hermes
had given him, Odysseus
managed to overpower the
goddess and forced her to
change his men back to
human form. When it was
time for Odysseus to
leave, Circe told him to
sail tothe realm of the
dead to speak with the
spirit of the seer
Tiresias. One
day’s sailing took
them to the land of the
Cimmerians. There, he
performed sacrifi ces to
attract the souls of the
dead. Tiresias told him
what would happen to him
next. He thengot to talk
with his mother,
Anticleia, and met the
spirits of Agamemnon,
Achilles, Patroclus,
Antilochus, Ajax and
others. He then saw the
souls of the damned
Tityos, Tantalus, and
Sisyphus. Odysseus soon
found himself mobbed by
souls. He
becamefrightened, ran
back to his ship, and
sailed away. While back
at Aeaea, Circe told him
about the dangers he
would have to face on his
way back home. She
advised him to avoid
hearing the song of the
Sirens; but if he really
felt he had to hear,
thenhe should be tied to
the mast of the ship,
which he did. Odysseus
then successfully steered
his crew past Charybdis
(a violent whirlpool) and
Scylla (a multiple-headed
monster), but Scylla
managed to devour six of
his men. Finally,
Odysseus and hissurviving
crew approached the
island where the Sun god
kept sacred cattle.
Odysseus wanted to sail
past, but the crewmen
persuaded him to let them
rest there. Odysseus
passed Circe’s
counsel on to his men.
Once he had fallen
asleep, his men
impiouslykilled and ate
some of the cattle. When
the Sun god found out, he
asked Zeus to punish
them. Shortly after they
set sail from the island,
Zeus destroyed the ship
and all the men died
except for Odysseus.
After ten days, Odysseus
was washed up on
theisland of the nymph
Calypso.
Nachdem
er an die Küste der
Phäaker gespült
wurde, wird Odysseus dem
König Akinoos
vorgestellt. In dessen
Palast erzählt er den
Phäakern von den
Fahrten nach seiner
Abreise aus Troja.
Odysseus und seine
Männer landen
zunächst auf
denKikonen, einer
Inselgruppe, wo sie die
Stadt Ismaros einnehmen.
Von dort aus treiben sie
mächtige Stürme
zum Land der
gastfreundlichen
Lotophagen
(Lotos-Essern). Dann
segeln sie zum Land der
Kyklopen (Zyklopen).
Odysseus und seine
zwölf Mannenbetreten
die Höhle von
Poloyphem, dem Sohn
Poseidons. Nachdem dieser
einige der Männer
verspeist hat,
überwaÃ…Nltigt
ihn Odysseus, indem er
ihn betrunken macht und
dann mit einem
glühenden Spieß
in dessen einziges Auge
sticht und ihn
somitblendet. Odysseus
und die übrigen
Männer fl iehen an den
Bäuchen von Schafen
hängend. Wieder an
Bord, provoziert Odysseus
den Zyklopen, indem er
ihm seine wahre
Identität verrät.
Wütend bewirft
Polyphem das Schiff mit
Steinen undversucht, es
zu versenken. Nachdem sie
die Insel der Kyklopen
verlassen haben, kommen
Odysseus und seine Mannen
ins Reich von Aiolos, dem
Herr der Winde. Aiolos
schenkt ihm einen Beutel,
in dem alle Winde
eingesperrt sind,
außer dem, der ihn
direktzurück nach
Ithaka treiben soll. Als
das Schiff in Sichtweite
von Ithaka ist, öff
nen die neugierigen
Seemänner den
Windsack. Die Winde entfl
iehen und erzeugen einen
Sturm. Odysseus und seine
Mannschaft verschlägt
es ins Land
derkannibalischen
Laistrygonen, die alle
ihre Schiff e, bis auf
eines, versenken. Die
Ãœberlebenden reisen
weiter nach Aiaia, der
Insel der Zauberin Kirke.
Odysseus sendet einen
Spähtrupp aus, der von
Kirke aber in Schweine
verwandelt wird. Mit
Hilfeeines Gegenmittels
vom Götterboten Hermes
kann Odysseus Kirke
überwaÃ…Nltigen
und er zwingt sie, seinen
Gefährten wieder ihre
menschliche Gestalt
zurückzugeben. Als
er wieder aufbrechen
will, rät Kirke ihm,
den Seher Teiresias in
derUnterwelt aufzusuchen
und zu befragen. Eine
Tagesreise führt
sie dann ins Land der
Kimmerer, nahe dem
Eingang des Hades. Dort
bringt Odysseus Opfer, um
die Seelen der Toten
anzurufen. Teireisas sagt
ihm sein Schicksal
voraus. Dann darf
Odysseusmit seiner Mutter
Antikleia und den Seelen
von Agamemnon, Achilles,
Patroklos, Antilochus,
Ajax und anderen Toten
sprechen. Dann sieht er
die Seelen der Verdammten
Tityos, Tantalos und
Sisyphos. Bald wird
Odysseus selbst von den
Seelen gequält,
kehrtvoll Angst zu seinem
Schiff zurück und
segelt davon. In Aiaia
hatte Kirke ihn vor den
drohenden Gefahren der
Heimreise gewarnt. Sie
riet ihm, den Gesang der
Sirenen zu vermeiden,
wenn er aber unbedingt
zuhören müsse,
solle er sich an denMast
seines Schiff es bindet
lassen, was er dann auch
tut. Dann führt
Odysseus seine Mannschaft
erfolgreich durch die
Meerenge zwischen Skylla
und Charybdis, wobei
Skylla jedoch sechs
seiner Männer
verschlingt.
Schließlich erreichen
Odysseusund die
überlebende
Besatzung die Insel, auf
der der Sonnengott Helios
heiliges Vieh hält.
Odysseus will
weitersegeln, aber seine
Mannschaft
überredet ihn zu
einer Rast. Odysseus
erzählt ihnen von
Kirkes Warnung, aber
kaum, dass
ereingeschlafen ist,
töten die Männer in
gotteslästerlicher
Weise einige Rinder und
verspeisen sie. Als
Helios dies entdeckt,
bittet er Zeus, sie zu
bestrafen. Kurz nachdem
sie die Segel für
die Abreise von der Insel
gesetzt haben,
zerstört Zeusdas
Schiff und alle außer
Odysseus sterben. Nach
zehn Tagen wird Odysseus
an den Strand der Insel
der Nymphe Kalypso
angespült.

Odysseus selbst von den
Seelen gequält,
kehrtvoll Angst zu seinem
Schiff zurück und
segelt davon. In Aiaia
hatte Kirke ihn vor den
drohenden Gefahren der
Heimreise gewarnt. Sie
riet ihm, den Gesang der
Sirenen zu vermeiden,
wenn er aber unbedingt
zuhören müsse,
solle er sich an denMast
seines Schiff es bindet
lassen, was er dann auch
tut. Dann führt
Odysseus seine Mannschaft
erfolgreich durch die
Meerenge zwischen Skylla
und Charybdis, wobei
Skylla jedoch sechs
seiner Männer
verschlingt.
Schließlich erreichen
Odysseusund die
überlebende
Besatzung die Insel, auf
der der Sonnengott Helios
heiliges Vieh hält.
Odysseus will
weitersegeln, aber seine
Mannschaft
überredet ihn zu
einer Rast. Odysseus
erzählt ihnen von
Kirkes Warnung, aber
kaum, dass
ereingeschlafen ist,
töten die Männer in
gotteslästerlicher
Weise einige Rinder und
verspeisen sie. Als
Helios dies entdeckt,
bittet er Zeus, sie zu
bestrafen. Kurz nachdem
sie die Segel für
die Abreise von der Insel
gesetzt haben,
zerstört Zeusdas
Schiff und alle außer
Odysseus sterben. Nach
zehn Tagen wird Odysseus
an den Strand der Insel
der Nymphe Kalypso
angespült.
