I don't claim any real knowledge, just smart googling!Originally posted by mercia View Postoh very well done cloughie, I was just about to post a clue
details (when you have time) ?
Peter Grimes is a fisherman who feels that the people do not want to have
anything ... He sings and song about human fate: “Now the Great Bear and
Pleiades”.
Percussion Pleiades by Iannis Xenakis
ElgarThe Starlight Express Dance of the Pleiades
Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star clusterComment

very smart googling, well doneOriginally posted by cloughie View Post
according to wiki, that aria in Peter Grimes is mainly on the note E above middle C because it was Peter Pears's "best note"
I have the dancers in Elgar's Starlight Express being called Pleiades
and apparently Subaru's logo incorporates a representation of the Pleiades
your turn I thinkComment

Thought the Peter was simply Grimes not Pears, but difficult to split the two.
There'll be a short delay for Q.Comment

Speaking for myself, I think my musical tastes are not as eclectic as yours, and I see "Meat Loaf" and, assuming it's beyond my ken, on a busy day I know I'm not going to be able rely on the little grey cells to tease out an answer, as I might (just.. sometimes...) with Mondonville or Mahler. I know it's going to be nothing but googling and wiki and on a busy work day there's often not the time / inclination for that... I've sat this one out as a result I'm afraid - and must now do some more workOriginally posted by cloughie View Post

As this is "Meat Loaf" and not "meatloaf", I assume we're talking about the real dead ringer, rather than recipes.Meat Loaf
Browne? or Cheers?Sam and Janet
I was looking at Shostakovich, but neither the Symphonies nor the Quartets brought much in the Q line.13 and 14
