Re: Byron
in reply to a message by A
I think it's kind of cool, but it strikes me as particularly African-American. I know this must be because there were only four African-Americans in my high school, and the only one of the four who was in my class was named Byron.
So I don't know if it really is used more by African-Americans than other groups, or if that's just my impression. Nevertheless, I think that an African-American could pull it off better than a European-American.

Goethe has a famous interpretation of Faust.
Hector Berlioz created a work that is technically an oratorio, though recently successfully staged as an opera, entitled Damnation of Faust - which offers an easier - and almost hauntingly alluring interpretation of the tragedy. I myself watched, no, not watched, but experienced the opera on four different occasions - bringing different family members and friends for each occasion. Here is a non-vocal ballet interlude for any that have interest - (sorry to tarry from names...)
