Alphabet associations - I

[Pianorak]

Sorry not Colour ...but interested to know of the works that would fit the bill.

As I have got an autograph of Christabel Pankhurst I was once looking into the history of the suffragetes and the Women's Social and Political Union (the WSPU) who adopted the colour scheme White, Green and Purple.

White is linked to C major
Green Leaves of Summer (from The Alamo film)
The Song of Purple Colour (Duncan Sheik)

However, back to the drawing board

Cat(s)?

[Norfolk Born]

My thinking - possibly wrong - was Cats (the musical), Copland's The Cat and the Mouse (in C?) and the said Act used to release and then re-detain Suffragettes.

...and P Maxwell Davies for the other

EDIT: both creatures feature in Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb

[Norfolk Born]

Probably irrelevant, but mildly interesting: There's a duet for cats in 'L'Enfant et Les Sortileges' as well as the one by (or attributed to) Rossini.

[Tapiola]

The following is wrong, but I will say it anyway , just to add to the general interest in this one:

Chains?

The Chain by Fleetwood Mac
Chain 1-3 by Lutoslawski
Gurrelieder by Schoenberg, which has a part of some big iron chains.

[Norfolk Born]

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains (The Beatles)

[Norfolk Born]

As you all know, I am no longer a Corrie watcher (a partially unavoidable by-product of being a one-tv household), so apologies if this is common knowledge, but...

word on the Street is, Big Jim McD is coming back!! So he is.

That'll be why Liz has disappeared, so it will!

Ah..I see where you are coming from..No, C is featured in the title of the two works that I have in mind.

Nor is it Cats....classical pieces all of them.

Quiet chuckle to myself that the answer has been given (well, sort of) even though the author hasn't realised it...and no, it is NOT Coronation Street.

EDIT: Spitting feathers at the moment over TiVo Inc's hubris in pulling the plug on our beloved TiVo...thus redefining the term 'lifetime' subscription. Never, ever, ever trust an American company.

That sort of thing goes on exclusively at the other end of town - so I'm told...
Suffragettes chained themselves to railings, of course.
I do hope this isn't going to be one of those cases where we end up with parallel sets of answers.

Possibly:

Couleurs de la Cite Celeste (Messiaen)
Colour Symphony (Bliss)
Prometheus Symphony (Scriabin, with part for colour organ)

idle musings...

[Tapiola]

Creation?

Haydn's Creation, Milhaud's La Creation du Monde, Scriabin's Prometheus, The Poem of Fire (which is about the creation of... fire)
Suffragette reference though??

[BetweenTheStaves]

Sorry..not creation either although I like the thinking. One of the works was for piano. Does that help?
