Professor Nontroppo’s Music Dictionary

This outrageous piece is especially effective at choral conventions. It is not easy and comes off as a virtuoso performance. An optional piano accompaniment is available by special arrangement with the publisher.

Mechem has attached a note to the score: “The composer wishes to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of his life-long colleague Professor Molto Nontroppo of San Marcela, who has selected the text from the most learned musical works from antiquity to the present day.”
