Alphabet associations - I

[Flay]

I'm not offering anything. I am sure some would want this object sacrificing, but I wouldn't.

Now where was it that a wolf snapped up a duck, musically speaking? I have got to hurry you as I have to go to a lecture soon and will be off-line for a few hours.

The "plate" is not culinary.

I was thinking more of a Musical Offering (Prom 1985) or an Offering in Church which could on a plate or not!

I thought vints said it was Peter and the Wolf, which was performed at First Night of the Proms in 1948 it seems, does that get us further forward?

[Nick Armstrong]

yes; baffled - if it were goose rather than duck then I wd be exploring ocarinas and the oca di cairo [K422] and others..

Don't let that stop you, vindupaysdel'oc

This blessed duck/wolf thing - Peter and the Wolf, the duck had foolishly left the pond in her excitement... That's where.

Can't find any Os

[mercia]

well I suppose you could say the action takes place outdoors

and an oboe plays a leading role

it happens in an orchestra

[Nick Armstrong]

I think I may have it...

The duck is played by the oboe.

The oboe with its tuning A opens any Prom (or any other) concert...

Is it oboe?

N

Pipped by mercia, ygad!

ah-ha very good

[mercia]

really ??

what does that mean ?

[Flay]

Whoops - crossed posts. Yes, the Oboe.

It was a specific Proms opener I was wanting. Every concert starts with an oboe A

And why the plate? (this is a technical question)

[edit] - I see Vinny has it on a plate - the Conservatoire or English systems of oboe

[Nick Armstrong]

What, like the principal of the Berlin Phil might have some poncey gold-plated oboe, you mean?

[Flay]

When I said to be quick I did not expect a torrent...

Any ideas on the specific opener? Fairly recent?
