Today marks the 63rd anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II‘s coronation. Within the past year, she became the longest reigning queen in recorded history.
The coronation ceremony was quite an ordeal, to say the least, taking 16 months to plan. One of the many pieces composed for the occasion was the “Orb & Sceptre” march by William Walton.
Vivat Regina Elizabetha!
You’ve heard it before: art imitates life imitates art. Is it possible to make something beautiful out of the boring, the mundane, the commonplace, or even the annoying? If the answer were “no”, then I wouldn’t be writing this post, of course.
Leave it to Leroy Anderson to turn cubicle life into a snappy little number like this!
It might sound like he has a high WPM, but here’s what his music looks like:

A full 15% of all web traffic is devoted to delivering digital cats to our cat-hungry world. Videos, pictures, memes, comics, whatever: we loves us our kitties.
Well, it’s about time I jumped on the wagon here and posted about cats! I would venture to say that less than .01% of Art Music is about cats, but I do know a few pieces. Some are obnoxiously silly, some are slightly bizarre, and then there’s this really cozy one from the Hermit Songs of Samuel Barber – a little song, sung by a monk to his furry study companion, Pangur.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
