One Hit Wonders--"classical"Date: May 17, 2013 by Dennis Pucci  Views: 809
Planning a program for spring 2014 of pop tunes "One Hit Wonders:" groups that only had ONE big hit (there are many lists of these). Wondered if there are any "traditional" choral one hit wonders (like an arrangement of the Pachelbel canon) that would make a cool balance for the program. Any ideas? Can be instrumental adaptations or opera tunes as well.
Thanks much,
Dennis Pucci
