[Nick Armstrong]

I got to follow that one again: Martinu: The Tears of the Knife

Cantata "Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen" BWV13

[Mahlerei]

Sculthorpe - Earth Cry

[Alison]

Mahler Das lied von der Erde

[Alison]

Birtwistle Earth Dances

[Mahlerei]

Satie - Parade

[hmvman]

Birtwistle: Endless Parade

[Flosshilde]

Didn't Napoleon wear a three-cornered hat?

I'm afraid not - http://topper10.files.wordpress.com/...1/napoleon.jpg

I don't think Tolstoy did, either - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...,_with_hat.jpg

[Flosshilde]

El corregidor y la molinera: De Falla

OK then: The Three-Cornered Hat.

as Napoleon didn't wear a three-cornered hat, can I offer Puccini 'Il Tritico' ?

But I wouldn't like to loose the connections following on from War & Peace, so let those stand.

[Flosshilde]

Where's Nicholas Parsons when you need him? Or dear old Humph?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Oh, you can't rely on Hollywood.

(I think I'd better retire gracefully )

[Lateralthinking1]

Having only limited knowledge of classical music but being a dab hand at Google, can I suggest Tuur, with two umlauts, Symphony No 6? I think it connects with the Birtwistle rather well.

[Flosshilde]

I think you are connecting with Alison's 'Earth Dances', rather than hmvman's 'Endless Parade' - am I right?

I've had to use google to find out about Tuur, & confirm the following -

Canticles for Benjamin Britten (Part)

[Lateralthinking1]

Yes, Flosshilde, it was Earth Dances. Stratum/strata. It was deviation. You get a point and you now have the subject. There's 45 seconds and the clock starts now.

[Flosshilde]

According to the composer's website - http://www.erkkisven.com/worklist-an...-for-orchestra, which I've just looked at - it's to do with the Big Bang. I was thinking of rock strata, hence my assumption that lateralthinking was connecting it with 'Earth Dances'.

[Flosshilde]

Yes, Flosshilde, it was Earth Dances. Stratum/strata. It was deviation. You get a point and you now have the subject. There's 45 seconds and the clock starts now.

I think I've already done it, with Part's Canticle for Benjamin Britten (Estonian composers being the connection)

So, who's going to pick that up & make a connection? :smile:

& I shall follow Hercule's example & retire (just for the night)
