'''''Report from Hoople: P. D. Q. Bach on the Air''''' was released on [[Vanguard Records]] in 1967. It is set up as a radio broadcast of the music of [[P. D. Q. Bach]] with Professor [[Peter Schickele]] as the DJ.
In addition to P. D. Q. Bach music, the record includes "New Horizons in Music Appreciation", a piece in which Schickele and Robert Dennis do a play-by-play on a performance of the first movement of [[Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)|Beethoven's Fifth Symphony]] as if it were a baseball game.
On the back cover, Schickele thanks "members of his graduate seminar in Accidental Originality" including future famous composer [[Philip Glass]].
