Obcessed with a Wagner Ear Worm

[karen J]

Do you ever get Ear Worms? An ear worm is a song you get stuck in your head.

Well, I have Wagner's "Pilgrims Chorus" from Tannhauser stuck in my head. It has happened many times before. Once, I even got the orchestral score and tried reducing it so I could play it on the piano. Talk about tedious work- hours just for the first couple pages.

Well- I found this really great website called "everynote.com" and actually found the piano version, and it cost me all of 1.99!  This site has thousands of scores.

I am not fond of cheesy arrangements of great classical pieces, or pieces arranged for instruments that the composer never intended, but I think the only way for me to get rid of the worm is to learn it. The arrangement is by Liszt, so it can't be too bad.
Hopefully, the quality of the music will transcend the medium on which it's played.

Does anybody know/like this piece? Please listen to it and send me a good vibe. It gets really difficult starting on the third page.

Karen I can think of worse. When my girls were little all I could hear was the Barney song.

I get odd words stuck in my head all the time.  The song that sticks is "Paper Moon"
Good luck!
Oh yeah, i love the term "ear worm"

Ewww. It's terrible.

Thanks Viv & Jerry. I am sooo glad to be away from the Barney song! However, I must now endure Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, and The Backyardigans. Thank goodness for Little Bear.  Now that's decent kids music.
