For Those Who Think Classical Music is Stuffy

Below is a snippet of a recording of a piece by the 26 year-old Mozart. It is a 3-part canon (round) that he composed to sing with his friends while partying. It was probably an exercise in 3-part canon composition because he wrote a couple more like it, one that is pretty long. The title, Leck mich im Arsch, translates to, literally, lick me in the ass, but its sentiment is more like, kiss my ass. Below the YouTube screen you will find the words, first in German, then in English...

Leck mich im Arsch!
Lasst uns froh sein!
Murren ist vergebens!
Knurren, Brummen ist vergebens,
ist das wahre Kreuz des Lebens.
Drum lasst uns froh und fröhlich sein!

(Lick me in the ass!

Let us be glad!

Complaining is in vain!
Growling, grumbling is in vain,
is the true cross of life.

Therefore, let us be glad and merry!)

Thank you Merisi, for the translation of murren, knurren and brummen!
