Humble suggestion for a new work

My mind energized by recent events at the University of Mississippi, I present this germ of an idea, adaptable to any music style from Romantic to post-modern:

Double-basses, slow crescendo... — pause — cymbal CLASH-'QUEER'-oboes & piccolos in diminuendo to silence... TAM-TAM-'******'...

It goes on for some time, until the bigotries run out. As you can see, it requires voice, but anything from a suitably charged solo voice to large choir could work. There could be interludes, party-like and/or serene... .

Many bigotries employ more than one 'touch-word'; how or if they should be used would be part of the creation process.

Entirely your option. Sammy Davis Jr. managed to combine at least two of the standard targets. There are many more bigotries than two, so your suggestion may be too limiting. My Humble Suggestion does not preclude any optional ingredients.

:cool:
