Eternal search for one piece of classical music

[Bryn]

I think S's main problem was G - mind you he probably dum de dummed all the way to the bank!

cloughie, I think a Google search for "g and s music" (with quote marks) might offer clarification.

Hot rats - who'd have thought it!

I had the same thing about 35 years ago. All I had were a few words of a song I heard fleetingly on the radio one afternoon.....

"When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the...."


That's all I can remember. Still don't know the actual song

Can anybody help?

It was originally a rare Chicory tip flexi disc , given away with "Look and Learn" magazine in 1973.

Punk Heroes Boney M later covered it , but it flopped.

A great work indeed. It is possibly a desert island disc for me, along with Bolero, The Ring, Bruckner's 8th, La Mer and The Sleeping Beauty (Tchaik).

Years ago I took my daughter to a Dvorak 9 and Verklarte Nacht concert with the express intention of freeing her from Hip-Hop shite. I very intelligently chose these two unassailable works and could not believe my luck when they came up in the same programme one afternoon at the RFH.

Coincidentally, the following week she racked up a £30 bill on my iTunes account on Hip-Hop downloads I guess my plan was flawed

TBF, but for the Dvorak/Arnie gig, the download bill might have been £50, so perhaps some good came of it !

oldest sprog thinks music continued developing to an apex of creative excellence with Hot Chip, and that further improvements are now unlikely.

Middle sprog will at least discuss music sensibly, even if he mostly does metal and pop/punk.
Yougest sprog actually like lots of decent music including DSCH , RVW, and stuff.

As Meatloaf said.......

no problem. Was up till 4 AM researching that, while you lot were enjoying yourselves playing Holmboe records.

I think the key phrase is

"G&S"

(dum de dum de dum de dum de dum de dum)

Wrong music?

I was playing Bernard Harrmann's Psycho

I disagree. To me the problem as you state it is decidedly ill-defined without the crucial word "operetta". G and S Music offer a very fine service, providing life-food of the highest quality, incuding much strong Beefy provender.

WTF are you two on about?

I don't know either, but gongers is holding that pint all wrong.

should I go to work today?
I was considering staying at home and blowing this months money on buying everything of Arthur Bliss's that has ever been recorded. Seems like more fun.

Trouble is, to listen to a decent amount of it, you have be awake for 20 hours per day!

I know that I had succeeded in a minor way as a parent when my daughter came home from school aged 16 and asked me if I had ever heard of Frank Zappa ?

"Time for Beefheart" I thought

Evangelism can have the opposite effect to that which is intended
Billy Graham makes me want to listen to Gorgoroth
