    Indeed, sir, and a very good morning to you

    Care to favour the company with a little Something?

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      "Snoeck"? Wasn't that a canned fish used (and very unpopular) in WW2?

                      Henze taped a Messiaen trio? Cruel stories and urban myths! Which T?

                          Rubbers!! You're out of Alphabet Associations Rehab!

                          How goes it?

                          One step at a time?

                            Yes... I must needs proceed very gingerly.

                            Henze's Tristan uses tapes. Messiaen's 'trio' comprises three works inspired by the Tristan legend, Harawi, Turangalila and Cinq Rechants. I'm not sure if the Tristan myth is particularly urban, at least not in Wagner's eyes, and I'm also a bit stuck on the cruel stories. Is this anything to do with Thomas Mann whose novella of the same name is set in a mental asylum? Now my mind clouds, I feel I could be going back there imminently...

                              A very warm Welcome Back, rubbers! And don't give up: you're 3/4 there.

                              Perhaps if I'd said "Contes cruels2 and "Legendes Urbaines" it might've been clearer?

                                Doh! Of course, Tristan Murail, another Messiaen connection
