Alphabet Associations - II

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

The big 'B's ,I define as JSB, Beethoven, Brahms, Berg and Bartok.

Well - that's an afternoon looking through the catalogues of Boulez, Babbitt, Berio, Birtwistle, and Barrett wasted!

[edashtav]

I din't know about Milton but the late Pierre was a gross omission and did I damage Boarder Barrett's "Vanity"?
Whoops!

[Pulcinella]

Slowly getting there......two out of three solved.

I should have three myself, but I think that only one has been assigned (1 March), and that's not for the one I use.
Off soon to a concert of Ireland and RVW (Holywell Music Room: Adderbury Ensemble) so happy for others to solve while I'm away.

[edashtav]

I misread your message, Pulcinella, as off to Ireland to hear RVW, and thought that was a noble thing to do. I hope that Lunch with John and Ralph at the Holywell was more than tasty.

Most enjoyable, thank you.
Ireland: Phantasy trio in A minor
Alwyn: Preludes 1 and 5 from Twelve Preludes (solo piano)
RVW: Piano quintet in C minor (didn't know he'd written one!)

Still struggling though to find the third N work, so happy for anyone else to jump in if they can name all three works.

[Pulcinella]

At last.......
I was making it too difficult for myself, as I was searching for a celebratory royal piece.
I think the answer is simply Name (not name-day, nameday, or name day).

So we have the following.
Süssmayr: Das Namensfest (The Name-Day)
Beethoven: Zur Namensfeier (Name Day)
Bax: To the Name above every Name

Congratulations, Pulcinella, 100% right, so your name is on the next letter.
Is it "O" or do we skip to "P" for Pulcinella, I wonder?

By the way, how did you enjoy JI and RVW in Oxford?

Nice thought, but I don't want Cali bearing down on me; he's quite formidable!

A simple Bank Holiday teaser.

Did a trip to the seaside give the vibes for André, Darius, and Olivier to write for me?

Or have I got my dictionary definition wrong? I think I should have been singularly vague.

What is the O?

See #1715; very much enjoyed the Ireland.
We went on spec and it was sold out, but we were first on the reserve list, and got in!

[edashtav]

Whoops, sorry your # 1715 post skipped past my post-prandial gaze. I remember the Ireland Phantasy Trio with some warmth from a bargain basement Saga LP from around 50 years ago. Did it feature the late, great Alan Loveday on violin?

Indeed - he can be quite a martinet. Or even ...

Ondes Martenot - works written for such instrument by all three, et al.

[edashtav]

The answer to your O is, I think, Pulcinella, Martenot's seaside waves i.e. Ondes Martenot.
Jolivet wrote, I think, the first concerto for the instrument.
Milhaud composed a Duo for O.M & piano
And Messaien scored an early piece for 6 x O.M. - for an International Exhibition.

I'm afraid I had an advantage being born and reared by the seaside in Bournemouth, and daily feeling the waves coming over La Manche straight from La Jeune France.

Indeed, but ferney pipped you to the post!

Indeed! Far too simple.
But did you get the vague connection?
Scientific-type waves are ondes, but those on the sea, as in La mer, are vagues!

Give us a nice punchy p, ferney.

And as in nouvelle vague? And the Italian onde also means "wave" (as in Nono's sofferte onde serene).

But I digress

Give us a nice punchy p, ferney.

Very quietly, then:

Recorded between the Greens and the Reeds, Gama Points to Wells for this singer, who was a decrepit Master.
