Classical Music in Pop Culture
      

On the other hand, there may just be a glimmer of good news on the music front ... Maybe.

In recent days I have heard several instances of television commercials using bits of classical music to underpin the message. Two of them, it must be admitted, were for the same product, one of these so-called energy drinks. One had a snatch of Wagner – the well known theme from Die Walküre – and the other featured a melody from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Actual operas, please note, not the Andrew Lloyd Webber sort of thing. And then a commercial for a table condiment, set in a restaurant, had Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 playing in the background.
