Tonality solidified into what we now have as the Renaissance became Baroque. (We use 1600 as the date.) There was certainly imitation, including rounds, all along. But a fugue would be difficult, to say the least, when one composition might jump through several tonal centers, and even end on a different one than it began on.
yea, but if I recall my musical history correctly--so damn long ago!--things were weird back then.
Like, I'm fairly sure I remember that what we call "common time" and sometimes denote with a C [4/4, which almost everything one hears now is in] was verboten. 3/4 was the thing [the trinity, don't ya know] and what we call a C wasn't a C, it was a broken circle. Bad juju. Devil shit. [no, wait...the devil shit is the Aug4. "banned by the Church...which is probably apocryphal, not real---though don't Western churches just love their apocrypha?]
Not to mention, the notes were square.
Anyway, I always preferred PDQ Bach's "Short-Tempered Clavier" to the more famous piece by the more famous Bach.
Also the Slide Windbreaker, Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice, and The Seasonings is much spicier and more tasteful than The Seasons.
I suddenly feel like bursting out in song! Saluting our special friends!

Sometimes when I get a phone call or knock at the door, I'll break out to this
classic.
Incidentally, it takes a couple minutes for me to answer the phone/door

Heh---I know how you feel.
Well...I like company if I invited them and know they're coming. But unexpected contact/appearances bug me.
BTW---my wife is a fan of pretty much everything Rankin/Bass.

A guy I used to work with does not answer the door if he isn't expecting you. Even if he knows who it is knocking. He's very upfront about it. Some weeks after he told me this about himself, a woman from another work site stopped by to see him. She said she stopped by last evening, and knocked on his door. She became worried because he didn't answer. He said he heard her knock, but he doesn't answer the door if he isn't expecting you.

Some other song lyrics that family members would burst out in...
What is apparently a parody of "Over There:"
"Over there, over there... send a plane, send a train.. Over there!"
And my mom introduced us to a version of the song with the names of a bunch of states that goes, "What did Della-ware?" / "She wore her brand New Jersey" / "What did Missis-sipp-i?" / "She sipped her Minne-sota."

I am not known for bursting out into song...
I do declaim spontaneously though...
...like telling people not to stand upon the order of their going, but to go at once.

My Mom told a joke that went, Miss-issipi asked Georgia if she could borrow her New Jersey. What did Dela-ware? Idaho, Alaska.
The songs we are breaking into in grade 3 lately are Lean on Me, or Pharaoh Pharaoh, or Hakuna Matata.

One time, my son called my daughter, and when he got her voicemail, he sang the chorus of this song into the phone as a voice message:

"I caaaaallllled and there's No reply!"
