Recently we received a tanta-<br />
lizing little package in the mail. It was crudely<br />
wrapped in corrugated board with a frenetic<br />
music score scrawled across it. Even the mail-<br />
ing label—a little square of paper torn from a<br />
piece of sheet music—had an urgency to it. It<br />
was impossible to put off opening it.<br />
Inside we found a little 6 x 6"<br />
notebook, containing page after page of musi-<br />
cal scores, which the author wanted us to consider<br />
for possible publication in U6/c. For<br />
someone who still recalls the notes of a scale<br />
by reciting Every Good Boy Does Fine, I was<br />
immediately intimidated by the frenzied complexity<br />
of the pages. But a closer look assured<br />
me I had nothing to fear. The compositions<br />
turned out to be a series of musi-<br />
cal pranks, puns and parodies.<br />
The gifted and witty<br />
"composer," illustrator Benoit<br />
Jacques, confessed that he<br />
cannot read music either,<br />
but it does not deter him<br />
from playing flamenco gui-<br />
tar, nor from running<br />
amuck through the art and<br />

material. In a composi-<br />
tion entitled "Marche,'<br />
the staff and notes<br />
meander around the<br />
page in marching band<br />
formation. His parody<br />
of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik<br />
(A Little Night<br />
Music) is printed in<br />
white on a midnight<br />
black ground. In<br />
musical homage to Alexander<br />
Calder, the notes hang like mobiles on the<br />
staff. And he epitomizes chamber music with a<br />
drawing of a nude in a bedroom entirely deco-
