Tigers bite a bit!

Not Hull City surely cloughers ... ????

[Pulcinella]

So they do!

Which three pieces am I looking for?

There are an awful lot of settings of Blake's burning tyger to choose from:

Oh gosh, so there are! There were only a few on the Naxos site that I used as a reference (although I didn't use the tyger spelling). My Blake interpreter sadly died just over 2 years ago...

Hopefully they will show up as Toothless and Goalless at Wembley showing at 5.00pm on Saturday

Tiger Feet

Afraid not thank goodness!

We just* need a nearby beautiful Tigress (that's how I translate it). Early 17th century madrigal...

(I've just returned from a house folk concert - in a friend's (large) front room! About 36 people, a very pleasant and intimate occasion).

Edit: * as well as the Blake Tiger!

Not int madrigals so can't add anything.
Your folk evening sounded like fun - did you exercise your vocal chords in a favourite or two?

Slightly, in a hushed embarassed manner. I'm not familiar with the repertoire.

[Pulcinella]

Is there a good reason to pick one Blake setting over another, Flay?

And are we looking for a foreign madrigal whose title (loosely translated) includes something along the lines of: There's a beautiful female animal with sharp teeth and stripes in its fur living next door?

I give up. Any will do Probaby that one... Monteverdi

Ecco vicine, o bella Tigre, l’hore
che del tuo sole mi nasconda i rai:
ah che l’anima mia non sentì mai,
meglio che del partir, le tue dimore!

It's the time (l'hore) not the tigress that's nearby, Flay!
Even worse, Tigre is a feminine noun, so even a male one has to be bella, I think.
Not sure how they distinguish the gender of the animal itself!


Cloughie was the first to name a piece, so as far as I'm concerned gets the honour to forge onward and upward if you're happy; I'm otherwise engaged with choir tonight and volunteer work tomorrow, anyway.

Which Blake setting were you thinking of, out of interest?

Oh gosh! I used Google Translate as I only went to a second rate school

I was thinking of the Taverner:
