      You were right about Rimsky - just wanted it spelt out for coleslaw purposes.

        There's still work to do on the G despite my great Friday night give-away!

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Two mountains with a luminous city almost halfway in between: who is the H?

                  "Spinning"? "Golden"? We'll have to wait for Pulcie to sort that one out.

                      Order! Order! I hear.

                      Sorry, host.
                      Thought I had permission to carry on.
                      Help is required to resolve the g, which I assumed had been done satisfactorily, and therefore that the Palme d'or had been awarded benevolently to me for spotting the cock-up!

                      And now ferney needs to spill the beans about how he arrived at his correct answer!
                      Obviously far too simple an association. But it lets me off the hook as I'm expecting some work (deadline Monday) tomorrow!

                        Golden Cockerel (Rimsky-Korsakoff)
                        Golden Spinning Wheel (Dvorak)
                        "His Golden Locks, Time hath to silver turned" (from the Aria from Finzi's For Whom the Bell Tolls)


                        There's about a third of Alan Hovanhess' output that has "Mountain" in the title - I'm now searching for a pair with another work with the title of a luminous city. There's hundreds of the beggars!

                          Hadn't thought of that: likely to be several equally plausible solutions then.
                          The two I had in mind are strange and eruptive.

                            The work list goes up to Op408!!!

                            In which case - Mount St Helens the Symphony #50, Op 360, City of Light Symphony #22, Op 236[/I], and ??? (Piano Sonata Op 303 has a second movement called "Vision of Volcano Mountain")
