BILL O’REILLY SINGS!
The piece is a setting of the sexual harassment complaint lodged against Fox News pundit, Bill O’Reilly, by staff producer, Andrea Mackris, in October 2004 and recorded at its world premiere in January 2007. It includes all memorable moments from the original complaint and more – paranoid rants, clumsy sexual innuendo, and the famous falafel fantasy. Composer Igor Keller has produced this concert-length work in the form of a baroque oratorio, in the style of an updated Handel’s Messiah, for 28-piece chamber orchestra, 26-voice chorus and three soloists. It’s an oratorio for the 21st century!

CAUTION!
Because of the nature of the subject matter, this piece is not intended for audiences under 18 years of age. It contains no profanity, but it does feature an array of “mature themes” which are treated with the highest artistic regard. On the other hand, most kids under 18 couldn’t give a rip about classical music, so forget I said anything. But consider yourself warned…

ENDURING ART OR SHAMELESS HYPE?
Get yourself a copy of the CD and judge for yourself. As far as classical music goes, it’s pretty cheap! And while you’re at it, get a t-shirt, too.
