Brandenburg Concerti - would like a ruling if I can consider this ‘a’ song— if not then #2

It drives me crazy when everything musical is called a "song." This is computerese at its worst, and we are all victims of it.

A symphony is not a song. A Brandenburg Concerto is not a song. An opera is not a song. West Side Story is not a song. A song is a short musical work for voice(s) unless so specified. There are pieces called Songs without Words. Note that I said "pieces." I could have said "musical works" or even just "works." Or name the actual genre like "symphony" or "concerto" or "sonata," etc. It would be like calling every literary work a "book," whereas you have poems, short stories, plays.

Despite that, Bach's Brandenburg Concerti are a great choice. Fun fact: they were written as a job application. but Bach didn't get the job. Guess which one we remember today, J.S. Bach or the Margrave of Brandenburg?

In terms of modern usage, you are mostly correct
the etymology of song/sing is more expansive and inclusive
and I will choose the understanding/meaning that gets me Bach

Dang, dude, if we don't follow the proper rules, we might just get left on the island without a song at all!

This is why I did this thread.

Now I know you better.

But Office Space or Midsommar?

Nice choice.

But I'm surprised.

I said "we" bro.

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

Yeah, but you were clearly sucking up to AARP so he’d let you slide

Then it was a good choice. For Zeetes, anyway.
