Alphabet Associations - III

[Pulcinella]

We're still not there, are we? I will (grudgingly ) accept the second composer - although I don't think the second one composed much - but if the cocktail is not a Godfather/Warlock (is it a Volcano from Ischia?). As for you twerpy ... And where's Pulcinella when he got us into all this?

Pulcie would have tried to associate William Walton and Ischia somehow, but went to see Maestro instead and then this morning tortured the Year 5s with more numeracy! They later did a charity reindeer run to raise money for the local hospice, though, so I think on balance had a good day. And it's Christmas lunch (wearing Christmas sweaters) tomorrow.

Thank you.

BTW According to Wikipedia, the writing of the Carol had an interesting carousing back-story, also involving Bruce Blunt.

Bethlehem Down? Written to fund a bout of carousing in 1927, I read...

Following Nick's fiendish car question, this island is also a Ford make.
In my chemistry days, alcohols ended in -ol...
Another word for sugary? Or sounds as if it is.
Don't think cocktail, it only really indicates putting together.

Twerpy! Helen E to her friends, and Carlo G & Philip H to their phantoms.

Has to be the Capriol Suite!

There's a gulf between Ischia and this island!

Well done, you beat me to it.

Just Helen Euterpe & her playwright to go...

[Tapiola]

This last element has been turning over my brain all day and i am baffled utterly!

So it's David Pownall, Music to Murder by?

[AuntDaisy]

So it's David Pownall, Music to Murder By?

Well done French Frank.
It's one of Pownall's Composer plays, hence the "dramatically" - early in act 1, Philip Heseltine "interrupts" Helen Euterpe while she's trying to work. The link to Nigel's website explains more...

[AuntDaisy]

To coleslaw:

Unrelated to Michael (who is far less enchanting), this W dramatically interrupted Mrs. Euterpe; but is probably best known for creating a rather sugary, but alcoholic, Mediterranean island cocktail and a carousing carol. His hilairious poetry settings and a rather blunt vulpine song deserve a mention.

Can you name both composers? And, for extra points, a radio playwright?

W is Warlock.
Peter Warlock / Philip Heseltine is / are both composers. Warlocks are "Enchanting" and Michael Heseltine is unrelated to Philip Heseltine.
The play is David Pownall's "Music to Murder By" in which Philip Heseltine "interrupts" Helen Euterpe. (I wish 4extra would repeat it as a tribute to Pownall - off-airs exist & it's in the archives).
Capriol Suite = rather sugary (sweet / suite), but alcoholic (add -ol), Mediterranean island (Capri) cocktail. (Although Tapiola's cocktail would also work).
Bethlehem Down = carousing carol, written by PW & Bruce Blunt to fund alcohol.
Three Belloc Songs = hilairious poetry settings; Hilaire Belloc.
The Fox = blunt vulpine song, by Bruce Blunt & PW.

As solved by Tapiola with contributions from Pulcinella & French Frank. Thank you.

Who has fun with the awkward X, Y or Z?

Who gets the awkward X, Y or Z?

Gosh! I wouldn't have even known where to start looking for most of those..

I heard part of the Capriol Suite in the shower this morning - it gave me the idea for a W. Breakfast does have its occasional uses

[Tapiola]

Beautiful conclusion. I would never have got it in its fiendish completeness.

I have an X if no one objeXs.?

Yes, please.
