Lollapalooza
I have added a link to a song on my blog. The song is called "Lollapalooza." This is my favorite orchestral compositions by one of my favorite composers. John Adams, the composer, wrote this in 1995. Adams is famous for his minimalist work. If you listen closely to the piece, you can hear the actual word 'Lollapalooza' emphasized by low brass instruments about 45 seconds into it. See if you can hear it. It sounds like 'LollapaLOOza.' This is a very energetic overture. It's amazing what can be done with such a simple beat, or even a word!

I tried to listen but I wasn't allowed. It seems like it would be interesting. I'll try to look it up somewhere else. :)
