Ach. The Art of Fugue. Bah.

Sounds like an interrupted call to prayer!

The Gross Fugue

The Gross Fugue

Erm.....consonants?
Otherwise, we could have the companion piece to Miss Saigon: Miss Solemnis.

Then there's Mozart's 'Hun' quartet

Or yet The Magic Flue - or lettuce have Cos Fan Tutte...

and Holst's 'The Planes'

Or even Egdon Heat...

Listeners to BBC R4 will doubtless recall that ISIHAC has occasionally done something similar with movie titles with a letter missing (albeit not necessarily a consonant)...

Pritti Patel misses the full, final 'ing' and turns it into 'in' in almost every word she says needin' an 'ing' soundin endin'

Cos Fan Tutte ... see # 21
Britten's naval opera exists in a little-known abridged version - Ill Bud (a title inspired by his own setting of 'O Ros Thou Art Sick')

[Pulcinella]

Britten also wrote a short sob-story: The little weep.
Asked who the main protagonist was, he replied, “Well, it ain't Nicolas!”.
