He played a tape of a piece called Anagrama. (...) I don't think it's released. I got the score to it. It's fantastic. It's for chorus and percussion, there's a harp in there and a few other things. I'm surprised they never put that out. But the orchestration was unbelievable. For instance, in the percussion section there are two giant rolls of paper that these guys have to rip up on cue. And it's really notated out exactly. They have sheets of tin foil that they play and it really sounds good. And the chorus is singing phonetic texts – it's probably the basis of [[It Can't Happen Here]] and things like that."''  <ref>https://www.afka.net/Articles/1971-01_Rock.htm</ref>

-Kagel is an Argentine contemporary classical composer who has lived in [[Germany]] for most of his career. He is most famous for his interest in developing the theatrical side of musical performance. Many of his pieces give specific theatrical instructions to the performers, such as to adopt certain facial expressions while playing, to make their stage entrances in a particular way, to physically interact with other performers and so on. His work has often been compared to the theatre of the absurd, and he is often talked of as the musical equivalent of [[Eugene Ionesco]]. Kagel has also written a large number of more conventional, "pure" pieces, including orchestral music, chamber music, and film scores. Many of these also make references to music of the past. He studied theory, singing, conducting, piano, cello and organ with private teachers, but as a composer was self-taught. Emigrated to [[Cologne]] ([[Germany]]) in 1957. Founded the "Kölner Ensemble für Neue Musik" (Ensemble for New Music) in 1959.
