I miss Monteverdi, John Dowland, and anothers medieval musicians.
ReplyDeleteif you know anything about medieval music, I'd welcome suggestions as to the best recordings (or what was available in the 50s and 60s)
ReplyDeleteYou mention a complete list ... is that available somewhere? Because the above really only is a very small selection of all the music / musicians / composers mentioned in his work. The list from "Mary and the Giant" must be almost as long ...
ReplyDelete(Although it obviously lists some songtitles PKD made up for his characters ...)
These are mentioned in Transmigration of Timothy Archer (in addition to Teddy Boy, Dido):
ReplyDeleteRolling Stones: Sticky Fingers: Sister Morphine. [when Angel and Jeff fight]
These are mentioned when the Bishop proposes rock music at Grace Cathedral: Zappa, T Rex [Marc Bolan], Janis Joplin, Kantner & Slick, Ray Davies.
Fidelio. Album Angel got for Tim
On radio: Santana
Lovely Rita Meter Maid [Angel gets ticket]
Missa Solemnis (Angel sold Archer this album)
Gian Carlo Menotti's opera The Medium, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole [visit to medium]
Bishop and Angel discuss funeral music: Kiss, Sha-Na-Na, Patti Smith Group.
Kibo No Hikari (Light of Hope). Kimio Eto. Barefoot gives to Angel.
Story opens and closes December 9, 1980 -- day after John Lennon's death.
Very underrated book.
DeleteI would add Sonic Youth, who arrived on scene after PKD's death, but were highly influenced by him, esp. on their lp Sister (1987).
