  “A family of musicians took shelter for the night

  In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia”

  – Paul Simon, Rhythm of the Saints

  “The canonized go on.”
  – Philip Roth in
  today’s New York Times,
  “Why Is This Man Smiling?“

  
  St. William
  Rehnquist

  
  The Toys,
  famed for their rendition
  of Bach’s Minuet in G

  “Have the ensemble clap the rhythm of the first four treble clef bars of
  Bach’s Minuet in G, and then play it with correct pitches or in a
  unison single pitch. Next, have them clap the bass clef rhythm and play
  it either in unison or with correct pitches. Finally, have one group
  play the treble part while the other group claps the bass part, and then
  reverse roles as above.”

  – Kirsten Allen Foutz, Engaging Rhythms
