          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

          Ammy's back with a bang (on a gong or twenty)!

          Bali it is.... for all the reasons you say... almost. Actually, I had in mind Debussy's "Pagodes" from his 'Estampes' but the Britten ballet was an alternative 'on the card'

          C you soon!!!

            Nice try, Flay. That'll teach you to swan around with Mrs F in a constant chase after pleasure and self indulgence.

            I know you must secretly love to see the smile on her face after a particularly deft deployment of the Flay family credit card

              Okely-dokely .....

              What C links…. A musician who inspired Malcolm to write dextrously

              A musician and lecturer whose endeavours led to a local East Anglian music festival becoming an important
              and significant influence on English musical life.

              A musician, writer and poet who wrote a tone poem for a disastrous event that is currently being celebrated

                        Yes, I get it! But why did FHG not want to give the answer ?!?!

                        Anyway I was never one for teasing....

                        We're talking Cyril aren't we?

                        Cyril Smith was one of the dedicatees (with Phyllis Sellick) of Malcolm Arnold's three-hand piano concerto having lost the use of his left arm

                        Cyril Scott wrote a tone poem about the Titanic disaster...

                        I can't find the East Anglian music festival connection

                            CUMS

                            But not a Cyril among 'em... "In 1843 the Cambridge University Musical Society (CUMS) was established, and gradually built a splendid tradition of concert-giving. The founders of CUMS included John Bacchus Dykes, William Thomson and John A. L. Airey"

                              Lawdy I'm sure that that nice Mr Sherbourne wouldn't have this much trouble interrogating a database like google, Calibs

                              Try googling CUMS Cyril

                                Ah, indeed.

                                Cyril Rootham!

                                I am somewhat pressed at the moment.... I guess this means I have the D?

                                A quickie: which D is a common theme between Karl Goldmark, Albert Coates and Dominick Argento?

                                I shall endeavour to superintend faithfully but forgive occasional silences....
