We had the old PCO Desormières at home, and when I was little I used to love imagining the gendarme desperately blowing his whistle trying to control the chaos...Originally posted by cloughie View Post
X-Y-Z-A, Cloughie?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

"What a lovely day it's been" sighed Mole as he snuggled deep into his downy bed. "Yes," murmured Rat blearily. "Such fun we've had, so much alphabet has been associated. And good old Rubbers bounced back, and Ammies too."
"And dear Anna is back too," yawned Mole. "Delightful. Night night, Ratty."
"Night night, Mole."

.....and you didn't have to spend all day on cloughie's clues, but look at the calendar today, it could all change but this is an easy one so maybe not!Originally posted by Flay View Post"What a lovely day it's been" sighed Mole as he snuggled deep into his downy bed.

I said it was an easy one looks like you're close on two counts, or should I say one and a Sir Colin!Originally posted by Caliban View PostHmmmm.... count with a small 'c'... not another phoney aristo like Vernon Duke a few letters ago? And we're not talking about Sir Colin, are we?

I'm thinking...Originally posted by cloughie View Post
in reverse order...
Count Basie was famous for 'April in Paris'
Tchaikovsky's 'Seasons' (not the Symphony... clever!) had as its fourth (yes, a little 'f') the month of April
And Colin Davis's first wife was April Cantelo...
So the answer's...
March!
(Not)... If April's right, I'm offline in a little while but have a B to contribute when Mr C gives the go-ahead...Last edited by Nick Armstrong; 13-04-12, 09:59."...the isle is full of noises,

Offline for about an hour now... Shall I or shan't I...? I usually like to wait for the green flag before going ahead, but I'm reasonably confident that April is the A...
So to keep things moving, here's a B
What's the B uniting a concerto for two pianos with a triple concerto and some pagodas?"...the isle is full of noises,

I reckon it's your actual BaliOriginally posted by Caliban View Post
Tippett's Triple Concerto contains gamelan sounds from Bali
Poulenc heard Balinese gamelan music at the Colonial Exposition of Paris in 1931 and used Balinese gamelan sounds in the his double piano concerto
Britten made a trip to Bali & incorporated gamelan sounds in his ballet score The Prince of the Pagodas
