  1. Foolish Questions Arr. By Benjamin M. Culli

  2. Foolish Questions • Arr. By Benjamin M. Culli • Year piece was composed is unknown • It comes from the piece called Foolish Questions • Text comes from a poem written by William Lee • Folk Song

  3. Arranger • Born in 1975 • Attended Concordia University • No other pieces are known of him to have arranged

  4. Foolish Questions • The plot is a sarcastic way of saying it was a foolish question to even ask in the first place. • I couldn’t find performance information • This piece could fit into a sketch about questions or it could also appear in Conan or Leno

  5. Now if an elevator boy forgets to close the door, and you go tumbling down the shaft about twenty seven floors. When you reach the bottom and you’re lying there inert some fool is sure to ask you “Buddy, are you hurt?” Foolish questions, your answer is, I know, “No, I was in a hurry and the elevator is too darn slow.” Foolish questions, what is there to say? Foolish questions, you hear them every day. • Throughout this excerpt there is a lot of sarcasm used to communicate that people ask many stupid questions.

  6. Musical analysis • In this piece there isn’t any unusual chord progressions due to the lack of difficulty of the piece. There aren’t any accidentals either. Since this is a folk song, the relationship between the music and the text is kind of rapid and southern-type style of music that complements the text of the piece.
