Whim

I went to Grant Park on a whim after dinner at Chinatown, and lo and behold, free concert! A cookie for he/she who correctly identifies the piece first.

    It’s actually written by an ‘American composer’ and conductor. Studied under Nadia Boulanger like many others.

    Can this be gotten to work in Firefox? I’m so ashamed.

    An expensive one. Worth more than 50c each.

    I found the solution, an additional line in pluginreg.dat telling Firefox what to do with video/x-msvideo. If links aren’t stripped from comments, one will magically appear below:

    For fixing this problem, Tom wins the cookie, to be awarded if and when he visits Chicago within the next year or so.

    And for the record, the piece is Bernstein’s Overture to Candide. Also acceptable is Oh Happy We, the actual song from which the presented motif is taken. If somebody had answered the latter, I would’ve bought them two cookies. And possibly dinner.

    Shout outs to Jesus my Lord and Savior, my mom, dad, and little sister and everyone else who’s help and support have made this all possible. Especially google! I love you all!! *tears up*
