, or What You Will
Hiya Skeleton Crew,
While I’m on Holiday Hiatus, I’ll occasionally be publishin some oldie-but-goodie trivias from months & years past. It’s a li’l somethin I like to call Throwback Trivias™!
As opposed to my usual routine of “youse all send in submissions for scoring & I’ll give ya the answers the next day”, the answers for these Throwback Trivias are just gonna be in there at the bottom of the email.
Anyways, enjoy!
Throwback Trivias
This one’s got a mini Shakespeare theme, just FYI!
Question 1
Kim Kashkashian is renowned as one of the world’s top performers on what string instrument? Composers William Walton & Béla Bartók wrote notable concerti for it, & it’s one of the instruments representin Sancho Panza (alongside the tenor tuba & bass clarinet) in Richard Strauss’s tone poem Don Quixote.
Question 2
R.E.M.’s music video for “Losing My Religion” has got lotsa religious imagery in it—for example, there’s an image of a boy tied to a tree with arrows stickin outta his body ... which is a reference to what saint who got martyred durin the reign of Diocletian?
