A shame to lose so eccentric (which is probably putting it quite mildly) an individual as Mr. Schickele. He was really one of a kind, perhaps the only one of that kind.
It's ironic that one of the few times Mr. Schickele played it "straight", it was in doing the score for Silent Running, and collaborating with lyricist Diane Lampert on the two songs in that film ("Silent Running"; "Rejoice In The Sun") that were sung by Joan Baez.

He was brilliant. My favorite title: “Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice: An Opera in One Unnatural Act.” From the NY Times obit: “There were also the curious human voices for which P.D.Q. wrote, among them the bargain-counter tenor and the off-coloratura soprano.”
