Early this morning as I was practicing before for church, I realized I'd neglected to honor the special feast day that is Super Bowl Sunday - and, as happens remarkably often, the local team is part of the feast, which begins in about fifteen minutes. My scheduled postlude was a Toccata in G Minor by Johann "Don't Call Me One-Hit Wonder" Pachelbel, but I decided to insert a little fanfare introduction:
As it happens, this toccata features a tonic pedal tone, which is also true of the NFL on Fox theme. In addition to the fanfare intro, I inserted a little bit of the main theme starting right after m.7, though in the version above (recorded before the service), I made the mistake of not setting that quote apart with a trumpet stop, so it gets buried a little bit.
Anyway, the game is about to begin, so that's all I'll say for now - but at least I'm blogging again. Go Pats!

What a game! Thanks for posting--this was fun.
You blogging again deserves its own parade!
This is pure genius... especially to a violist...
I demand that this be reposted this SuperBowlSunday, and I DON'T CARE that the game will be on NBC!
