Alphabet Associations - II

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I shall take time to pender this one.

Oh, 'ecki - they're all works (two operas and a "Symphony") by Kryzstof Penderecki - but that means I'll have to see what Musical connections haven't already been made for Q!

[mercia]

do you composer

eh ?????

[mercia]

they're all works (two operas and a "Symphony") by Kryzstof Penderecki

they most certainly are. I don't think Q is compulsory

[Pulcinella]

Hadn't spotted the 'composer'!

Got as far as Peter Maxwell Davies for the soundtrack to Ken Russell's The Devils, but then went out shopping (more Aldi wine required!).

Well done ferney: I'd jump the q if I were you!
I have assumed that, because this is not the Musical Association thread, not all parts have to have a musical connection.
Your hunt for glass was inspired, though, even if it did not get you anywhere.

No - there used to be a wider range of Arts topics covered in the earlier puzzles - and there has been a couple of references to George Lloyd, too.

Your hunt for glass was inspired, though, even if it did not get you anywhere.

Another possible ferney epitaph: "He was inspired, but it got him nowhere"- though usually hunting for a glass has a happier result!

As for jumping the Q - I was brung up better, so:

La Liberté; Champagne; Mercure - not an alternative Revolutionary slogan: ma Quelle?

[Nick Armstrong]

a couple of references to George Lloyd, too.

Nicely slipped in, stiletto-style!

Solving your new puzzle will take a lot of weeding-out of extraneous material, thanks to the existence of this ubiquitous hotel chain!

Attempting to solve the puzzle as if I hadn't set it seems pretty damn impossible, so perhaps a little extra help might be useful:

Not so much a Roi Soleil as "Oh what a circus"!

[mercia]

are we in Canada ?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

are we in Canada ?

- we may have been (t)here before!

[Pulcinella]

are we in Canada ?

I wondered that, as Pierre Mercure was a Canadian composer, some of whose music I heard when I lived over there, as including a piece by a native composer in any concert seemed compulsory in those days.
Just checked where he was born, and also where Circle du soleil came from.......

So are we talking about a province (which happens to have a city of the same name in it, though that's not the city associated with Mercure and Circle)?

(In the time taken to type, with two interruptions, I see we are indeed in Canada. Go for it mercs!)

[mercia]

Go for it mercs!

apologies, rather otherwise occupied now, I shouldn't have chipped in.

[Pulcinella]

Apologies not needed.
Busy here too shortly, and in no mood to have to think of an r even if I got the other links in this question.

You mooted Canada first.
Where's everyone else?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

You're all doing very well!

[subcontrabass]

Where's everyone else?

Avoiding having to set the next question.

[Pulcinella]

Avoiding having to set the next question.

Not least because I have a busy couple of days coming up, and might not be around to respond.
Besides, I've been hogging the thread for a bit.
