[cloughie]

I didn't know of this before now:

(there's a clip on youTube where it's sung ... AT A WEDDING!!!)


No. Nor Purcell, either, if I may be so Bold.

Maybe I was DAZzled by your clues!

White Rose is sung by many MV choirs down here - mostly in Cornish in the arrangement by Edward Goldsmith. It is also sung by many informal singing groups in pubs, at weddings (usually being selective on which verses sung), funerals and at local feasts, shows and festivals. A beautiful song when sung well.

You have to do a bit of digging... Chuck 'little mermaid music' into google and Bob's your auntie and Alexander's your uncle...

I admit that an Ovid-Goehr link did pop into my brain unresearched...

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Damn good programme, Words and Music...

So we have:

Alexanders:

- Scriabin: Vers la flamme

- Zemlinsky: The little mermaid

- Goehr: Metamorphosis/Dance Op. 36

I fank you

Goehr himself wrote a piece called "Vers las Flamme" (it's one of his Deux Etudes for orchestra) and I was originally going to include that as well as the Scriabin - but there's no reference to the work that I could find on 'tInternet

So, let's B 'avin' yer!

The carman's whistle

All in a garden greene

The hunt's upp

And indeed, Booke works too (hadn't thought of that!)

Martinu four times - the Third (and last) in Jamaica; Tchaikovsky in a village; and Dvorak in Fb minor, perhaps. What Do you think?
